 | | zanzibar: According to this site:
http://tartajubow.blogspot.com/2012... <Now there’s a name that’s unknown to a lot of players today, [...]> Can that possibly be true?
(Wonder who conducts the surveys to determine this)
Tartajubow finishes with links to the two part Chessbase interview found in the bio above. |

May-10-15
 | | TheFocus: <Your only task in the opening is to reach a playable middlegame> - Lajos Portisch. |
|
May-19-15
| | TheFocus: <He approaches the chess board as if about to perform a sacrament, and when one watches his deep concentration at play, even his silence seems different from the silence of the others> - (on Portisch) - Grigor Piatigorsky. |
|
May-26-15
| | TheFocus: <The best decisions in chess are always those that are supported by accurate calculation> - Lajos Portisch. |
|
| Jun-05-15 | | ToTheDeath: <Your only task in the opening is to reach a playable middlegame> - Lajos Portisch. This advice is definitely outdated... nowadays it's not enough to put your pieces on good squares and hope for the best. You have to play to win from the start. |

This advice is definitely outdated... nowadays it's not enough to put your pieces on good squares and hope for the best. You have to play to win from the start.> Well, it remains valid advice to amateurs, to whom I assume it was addressed. It's not as if he played that way himself. |
|
| Jun-05-15 | | ToTheDeath: Good point. Out of context that quotation can be easily misread. |
|
Jun-05-15
| | TheFocus: If your pieces ARE properly developed, it is better to form attacks. I think Little Paulie morphy taught us that trick. |
|
| Jun-05-15 | | Everett: Reaching playable middlegames <while assidiously avoiding your opponents prep> is the magic recipe of Carlsen. Seems the above advice is still quite valid with a little tweaking. |

| | keypusher: <Everett: Reaching playable middlegames <while assidiously avoiding your opponents prep> is the magic recipe of Carlsen. Seems the above advice is still quite valid with a little tweaking.> That has definitely been Carlsen's approach but I think he is getting more ambitious in the opening. This game seemed like more or less straight prep. Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2015 Quite a contrast with Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2013. |
|
| Jun-05-15 | | Everett: <keypusher> I agree. Do you think match preparation changes things, especially WC prep, compared to tournament prep? If so, I agree. |
|
| Oct-04-15 | | Helios727: Why are there 7 games between Portish and Karpov from 8/31/1975 to 9/14/1975 ? That is a lot of games in a 15 day period. |
|
| Oct-04-15 | | Helios727: And I would add that they are all in Milan. |
|
| Jan-28-16 | | HSOL: >Helios727>: Check this tournament page, Milan (1975). An unusual format for a chess tournament with a round robin and then a playoff with semifinals and final. |

It's not as if he played that way himself.> This was taken, I believe, from the RHM work <How To Open a Chess Game>, which was indeed directed towards amateur players wishing to improve--sound advice which is by no means outdated, more than forty years on. My recollection is that this book offered useful practical advice in the pre-database era. |

|
| Apr-04-17 | | Eastfrisian: One of my chess heroes. Happy birthday GM Portisch. |
|

 | | Nosnibor: <Zugswangovitch> The wins that you are referring to against Tal, Keres, Petrosian and Spassky were all played in the 1967 Moscow Tournament and I understand that Portisch won a special prize for his win against Keres. This was `The Work of Art` prize. This is not mentioned on the Tournament site. |

| | whiteshark: btw, in an yesterday's chessbase interview Portisch said that he has just finished writing a chess book on a black defense he'd often played. He didn't want to reveal further details though. Repertoire Explorer: Lajos Portisch (black) Source: http://de.chessbase.com/post/lajos-... |
