According to the bio, 7 Be3 is original, I dont know if that is true, we can do an opening search for that, but what is true is that suddenly Fischer slowed down a lot. He spent over 20 minutes making moves 7/8. And about an hour from moves 7-15 (IIRC). That's a long time for him.

This site's database seems to be badly confused by the multitude of Garcias...
