  keypusher: Spassky blunders in a promising position against Karpov (he didn't get too many of those).

  Ulhumbrus: 21...Qd7 blocks the aquare d7 for the QB to retreat to. Instead of this, 21...h6 prepares ..g5 following ...Nf6, although one reason for preparing ..g5 by 21...Nh6 and ..Nf7 instead is that Spassky plans b4 and then,following the removal of the c5 pawn, d4 attacking the e5 pawn, when a Black N on f7 serves to defend the e5 pawn.
