Lajos Portisch -- Game to watch

This game has a nice display of a forced draw. This game was played in 1981, when Kasporav was already a phenomenon.

After the 44th move ... game was clearly stacked in favor of "the" Kasporav. The white pawn on d6 had jogged far enough to secure a win for Kasporav.

Here comes a pure magical move by Lajos: Knight sacrifice on g3 ... Now Kasporav exchanged with a pawn instead of the queen.

I am sure, Lajos would have prayed to his gods to have this done!!!!

Beauty lies here .... 3 check points for black. white can flirt as much with his queen and rook... No use ..draw is inevitable.

Clearly, the immortal Kasporav had zilch clue of this, otherwise he would have never bothered cycling around with his rook & queen.

Brilliant manoeuvre by Lajos!!!!
