White offers the queens trade, because of the weakness of d5 pawn. His rooks have also placed in the better position. 1.Re5? and 1.Re3 would be met by 1...Ng4.

β–ͺ️ Lajos Portisch
β–ͺ️ Hungarian chess grandmaster

♦️Lajos Portisch is a Hungarian chess Grandmaster, whose positional style earned him the nickname, the "Hungarian Botvinnik".

πŸ”ΈFull name: Lajos Portisch
πŸ”ΈCountry: Hungary
πŸ”ΈBorn: 4 April 1937 (age 81) Zalaegerszeg, Hungary
πŸ”ΈTitle: Grandmaster (1961)
πŸ”ΈFIDE rating: 2467 (January 2018)
πŸ”ΈPeak rating: 2655 (January 1980)

♦️ Portisch won the Hungarian Championship for the first time in 1958, and in 1961 he became a grandmaster. In 1960, he qualified from the Madrid Zonal for the Stockholm Interzonal (1962), where he came equal 9th. In 1963, he won the Halle Zonal ahead of Borislav Ivkov and Bent Larsen and advanced to the Amsterdam Interzonal (1964) where he came 8th. Over the course of his career he qualified for the Candidates eight times and played for his country in nineteen consecutive Olympiads (1956-1996). He had another fine tournament finish with an equal 2nd with Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian after Anatoly Karpov at Milan (1975). At the Biel Interzonal (1976), he qualified again with an equal 2nd after Bent Larsen, and went on to win the Portisch - Larsen Candidates Quarterfinal (1977) match, but then lost the Spassky - Portisch Candidates Semifinal (1977) match. He led the Hungarian team to an unprecedented 1st place finish ahead of the Soviets at the Buenos Aires Olympiad 1978.
He still lives in Hungary, and is still active in local tournaments.
