  tpstar: If you follow the Ruy Lopez Open out to here (including Korchnoi's 12 ... Bg6), 16 ... a3 contains at least one trap to know = 17. b3? Nc3 wins material (18. Qc1 Ne2+, otherwise 18 ... Bxc2). Here Black organized pieces on the Queenside, giving up the Pc7 (usually does anyway) for the Pf4, then White erred with 36. exd6?! Rxf2! because 37. Rfc1/Rcc1 Raa2 mates before the d Pawn queens.
