| 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. |

 | | perfidious: <keypusher: <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 This advice is definitely outdated...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.> Well, it remains valid advice to amateurs, to whom I assume it was addressed. 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, which was indeed directed towards amateur players wishing to improve--sound advice which is by no means outdated, more than forty years on.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. |

 | | LucB: Happy Bday, GM Portisch Lajos! (see what I did there?) |
|
| Apr-04-17 | | Eastfrisian: One of my chess heroes. Happy birthday GM Portisch. |
|
| Apr-04-17 | | 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-... |

 | | offramp: He was not totally port. Just portisch. |

|
| Dec-16-17 | | Retireborn: Nice picture. Looks like a position from his rd 6 game vs Hartoch. Portisch won that tournament with an unbeaten 11.5/15 |
|

 | | zanzibar: A classic chess pose. |
|
| Dec-17-17 | | Nosnibor: <offramp> But some of his games are vintage like good port ! |
|
| Dec-17-17 | | Retireborn: Looking at the pic again, it's slightly odd that there's a prominent Yugoslav flag; suggests the game is over or adjourned and he's looking at it on a random table. |
|
Dec-17-17
| | zanzibar: Portisch vs R Hartoch, 1969 (m=79) (Aside - wish <CG> would notate move in such links) Position after 78...Qc1.
The look definitely suggests in the "heat of the moment", as does the clock plunger being up for White (even if covered by the booklet). |
|
Dec-17-17
| | zanzibar: Oh yeah, plus the "lived in" look of the Black side of the board, including the score-sheet at the ready. In other words, the flag is the only thing that looks out of place. |
|
Dec-17-17
 | | saffuna: I assume that game had an adjournment? |
|
Dec-17-17
| | zanzibar: <saff> good point - they could have just set up at any old table for the resumption. |
|
| Dec-17-17 | | Retireborn: <z> It may just be a mistaken flag, I suppose - Portisch not the kind of guy to kick up a fuss. |
