Description

Photo of GM Lajos Portisch in b/w, 17,5x24 cm, personal photo taken with a Nikon F2 camera. -I personally find Portis to be an extremely photogenic chess player.-

Lajos Portisch (born 4 April 1937) is a Hungarian chess Grandmaster, whose positional style earned him the nickname, the "Hungarian Botvinnik". One of the strongest non-Soviet players from the early 1960s into the late 1980s, he participated in twelve consecutive Interzonals from 1962 through 1993, qualifying for the World Chess Championship Candidates Cycle a total of eight times (1965, 1968, 1974, 1977, 1980, 1983, 1985, and 1988). Portisch set several all-time records in Chess Olympiads.

He participated in a record 20 Olympiads from 1956 until 2000, playing a record 260 games, over a record six decades, and won 11 medals. His total Olympiad score is: (+121−26=113), for 68.3 per cent. 

His result at Thessaloniki 1988: board 1, 8½/11 (+6−0=5), board silver, rating bronze.
