HOTDOG: Anatolj Lysenko commented this game in his book ''how to value the position''.these are his comments:9.a4
some commentators suggested after the game 9.Bg2. but perhaps if White should have played 9.Bg2 losing,perhaps the same commentators should have suggested 9.a4
14.Qb1
14.Qc1 was more precise,so after 14...Nd4 White can play 15.Re1 and 16.Ne2
15.a5
15.Re1 was possible,but Hort wanted to avoid b7-b5
16.Nd1
White's play can be defined passive,but not weak.if Black has an advantage,it's very small and it's difficult to foresee his win.he's better on the center,but White has no evident weaknesses.with the next moves Fischer plays in Steinitz's style,trying to create weaknesses in White's position
19...Rac8
Black has set his pieces in ideal position to create a series of threatens.it's difficult for White to find a reasonable move
20.Bxd4
it seems there's nothing better,but after this move the Black bishop has no rivals
21.Qa2
it's amazing that a5's weakness already begins to create problems to White
21...Bf6! 22.c3 Bd8! 23.c3 Bf6
now c3 is a permanent weakness.Trifunovic who commented the game judged this position as technically won for Black.Fischer now had to create some other weaknesses in White's position,because only a weakness isn't enough to win
26...h5! 27.h4
Hort played this move unwillingly,but he had no choice.after 27.f4 h4 28.g4 e5 29.f5 Bg5 Black is a lot better
30...Rc7
Fischer's play has a fantastic simplicity.it seems that the Black pieces spontaneously go where there's need of them
32.Ne3
it's understandable that White wants to improve the Knight's position,but however this move is wrong,32.Bg2 was necessary.but also after 32.Bg2 things are very difficult for White
33...Nc4! 34.Ra2 Qc6
here the second weakness!now White is forced to exchange Knights but this will determine the lost of the c3 pawn
37.b5
White continues to fight until the end,trying to make difficult for Black to exploit his extra pawn.but Fischer's endgame technique is the one of a great champion
