  woldsmandriffield: 25..Rfe8? was a far from obvious mistake leading to the loss of an exchange. Portisch might have been able to defend after 25..Qd7 26 Qc2 g6 27 Qd2 Kg7. While his position is unenviable breaking through would not have been easy.
Dec-26-18  Howard: I'll certainly say this---it's nice that I'm not the only one with a strong interest in this match.

Woldamandriffield seems to like it, too.
