Here Portisch played 46. ... Kd6? and after 47. e4 he was hopelessy lost.
[Robert James] Fischer indicated that he could have drawn with 46. ... c5!. It is essential to tear down the white pawn structure. It is clear that 47. dxc5 Kd5 won’t yield White anything. The crucial move is 47. Ke4, after which a pawn ending arises by force that is just within drawing territory. Fischer’s main variation went as follows: 46. ... c5 47. Ke4 cxd4 48. exd4 Kd6 49. d5 Kc5 50. Rc7+ Kd6 51. Rc6+ Ke7 52. Rxf6 Kxf6 53. Kf4 Kf7! 54. Ke5 (or 54. Kg5 Kg7 55. d6 Kf7) 54. ... Ke7 55. d6+ Kd7 56. Kd5 g5!, and the black h-pawn will queen with check. An impressive feat of analysis.
