| Caissanist: All four of Portisch's "notable" draws are games where he should have won and got swindled, ouch. |

| Hafen Slawkenbergius: Reading Caissanist from June 19th, doesn't it seem as if Leko and Portisch have much in common, far more than their nationality? |

| twinlark: <Dozy> I also played against Portisch in 1971 in a simul in Canberra. I had been playing chess for a couple of years since high school and mine was one of the last games to finish when I lost (needlessly I might add) a Queen pawn ending. I don't have the score for that game any more, but I do remember Portisch regretfully taking advantage of my blunder as I had played really well up till then. He was my favourite GM for a while after that and I truly hoped he could do well in the Candidates cycle. Boldog szuletesnapot, GM Portisch! |

| drukenknight: <Several times I have heard him described as "panicking" when things did not go as expected. It may be that he simply didn't have the kind of mind that couldn't adjust to surprises quickly enough.> This sounds about right. If you read his comments to his game vs Fischer, the Nimzo Indian at Santa Monica 1966, he sounds as if there is nothing he can do after the sack of Q for 2 rooks. His comments are fatalistic. |

| diagonal: late happy birthday for Lajos Portisch, the man with the - until know - most Chess Olympic appearances (twenty times: 1956-74, 78-88, 92-96 & 2000): the hungarian regular was also a strong contender in the Interzonals: eight times qualified as a Candidate (but never made the final). |

| Hinger: I read that no chess player studied or worked harder at chess than Lajos Portich. Next was Bobby Fischer. |

| technical draw: It seems to me that Portisch has been around forever. He has played every top player of the last 50 years. |

| Quintiliano: Right on, GM Portisch!! |
|

| Maatalkko: Portisch is way better than 2512 at his best. |
|

| stanleys: He did very well at Gausdal Classic - shared second place with Rozentalis and Krasenkov with 5,5 from 9. Congratulations Mr Portisch! |

| Eggman: Some unusual factual errors in Kasparov's new <"Revolution In the 70s"> tome, such as referring to 8-time candidate Portisch as a 5-time candidate. |

| parisattack: Portisch's play never 'spoke to me' but he certainly was a super-super GM. I interviewed him for the college newspaper when he played in Denver, 1972. It was tough getting much out of him; his answers whilst polite were short, to-the-point. When I asked him the difference between his play and Fischer's he said, "We are both tacticians, he plays 1. e4 and I play 1. d4; that's all." After the simul we treated him to a night at the then fashionable Playboy Club where I thought he might loosen up a bit - but not. |

| Manuel G. Vergara: Me and Mr. Lajos had a 3 blitz games a while ago over the site flyordie. Of course i have'nt had the chance to equalize, he is legendary. |
|
| Nov-05-07 |
| parisattack: <he is legendary.> Indeed, he is. That would make a great memory for a chess player - blitz games with a Super-GM. I think someone pulled out a pocket set when we went to the Playboy Club but I was too busy watching the bunnies to remember much... :) |
