Portisch will prevail.
I am still rooting for Spassky! I have been going over his tactics and his games with the book Boris Spassky Master of Initiative and am I impressed! I never went over his games before but a friend a mine who is a 2400+ suggested I do it and I have been learning so much from this World Champion! His games are great! I would recommend to everyone to go over his games! Petrosian is next on my list.
