Nc3 a6 6. Bc4 e6 7. Bb3 b5 8. f4 Bb7 9. f5 e5 10. Nde2 Nbd7 11. Bg5 Be7 12. Ng3 Rc8 13. O-O { Now White's king becomes a target. He had to play 13.Nh5 to keep equality.} 13... h5 {This sharp rim shot sets the theme for the rest of the game: Fischer snipes alternately against the White king and e pawn, and his initiative snowballs.} 14. h4 b4 { Now White must either give up a pawn or allow the h file to be opened.} 15. Bxf6 Bxf6 16. Nd5 Bxh4 17. Nxh5 Qg5 {Bringing the heavy artillery to bear against White's king in a wonderfully unorthodox manner.} 18. f6 {A desperate attempt to get play, but after Black's next move, White's knight becomes irrelevant.} 18... g6 19. Ng7+ Kd8 20. Rf3 Bg3 { Black's threats on the h file are now decisive.} 21. Qd3 Bh2+ 22. Kf1 Nc5 23. Rh3 Rh4 24. Qf3 Nxb3 25. axb3 Rxh3 26. Qxh3 Bxd5 27. exd5 Qxf6+ 28. Ke1 Qf4 0-1
