Partai Catur Jadul Lajos Portisch vs Hamdan - Adelaide 1971

Berikut adalah sebuah temuan kliping surat kabar yang menunjukkan pecatur Indonesia bernama Hamdan beradu catur melawan Grandmaster Lajos Portisch dari Hungaria. Turnamen tersebut kemungkinan adalah Australia Open tahun 1971. Di partai catur jadul tersebut, pecatur Hamdan bermain kurang akurat dan mempermudah sang Grandmaster mencapai pola skak mat di sayap raja. Partai catur dengan pembukaan Gambit Menteri Ditolak tersebut kemudian dipakai oleh penulis kolom catur George Stern untuk artikelnya yang berjudul "Crime and Punishment", sebagai analogi partai caturnya. Kolom catur tersebut dimuat di surat kabar The Canberra Times, 10 Februari 1971. Nama pecatur lainnya adalah Bachtiar, pemenang turnamen adalah Lajos Portisch disusul Walter Browne. Analisa dan langkah-langkah catur tersebut bisa disimak di bawah, dibawakan khusus untuk penggemar catur Indonesia oleh red-white-chess.blogspot.com .

Trace of Indonesian chess player in Australia found in this chess column from The Canberra Times, 10 February 1971. The article titled "Crime and Punishment" wrote by George Stern highlight two chess games for its adventurous theme, the first game was Australian players John Alps vs Baker. Then the second game was Lajos Portisch vs Hamdan, from Indonesia. In this QGD game, Lajos Portisch simply get a nice mating pattern on King's side and the Indonesian player simply did not find the best defensive system against it. See this nice, rather instructive game by the Hungarian grandmaster.
