Qh5 Qe8 {White has the f-file, well-placed pieces and a slightly better pawn structure. Black's forces are scattered, and the bishop does little from its post at g7. Fischer exploits these factors quickly. } 18. Bxd4 {The knight at d4 was a potential defender on the kingside, and the bishop was not going to participate in the attack anyway.} 18... exd4 { 18...exd4 19.e5 looks like it wins a piece, because of the threat of Qxh7 mate, but Black has a defense. f5!

The idea is to encourage Black to move the bishop to a position where it blocks the f-pawn from advancing, eliminating the defense mentioned in the previous note. 19.Rf6 Bxf6 20.e5 h6 21.Qxh6+ Kg8 22.Qh7+} 19...
