Feb-29-12  drukenknight: this actually pretty good game at least as far as I looked, but what do people think of black's wing pawn play? Why not 15...h5 to create outpost for the N? of course the N gets kicked a few moves later. And why not 28...Rxh5? just some quick thoughts maybe I missed something.
Jan-26-15  zydeco: <drukenknight> 28....Rxh4 isn't possible because the bishop on d7 is en prise.

15....h5 might be an improvement on the game: black closes up the kingside and has the possibility of castling short. Bukic was probably afraid of f4 and f5, shattering his formation. As the game plays out, though, black has to choose between castling and defending the d6-pawn, and ends up losing material.

  kingscrusher: The key mistake seems to be 23..N8a7 setting up a "bypassable trap" which by nature has a major downside - in this case the d6 pawn.

23..Rh5 seems to hold equality with the idea of Qc5 in a much safer manner. E.g. 24.0-0 Qc5 when Qxc5 Rxc5 favours black.

By Fischer simply castling at move 24, and not taking the poisoned d6 pawn, Black is in major trouble it seems.
