Apr-22-07		russep: What's the win here?

Apr-22-07		syracrophy: <russep> As one can easily see, White's 3 pawns down - more than enough to give Black the victory in a few moves.

Apr-23-07		percyblakeney: A bit surprising that 70-year-old Portisch can win this easily against #42 in the world, and that with black.

Apr-24-07		Troller: Agreed. Somehow Portisch managed to extract his queen without real damage to his position, being a pawn up. Krasenkow never really had an attack and never got around to putting his knight on d6 before he was busted. Seems in the end that he is only hoping for a sudden struck of senility in Portisch's play.
