Nge2 a6 8. h4 h5 9. Nc1 e5 10. d5 Nd4 {Fischer does not repeat his mistake from game 12.} 11. Nb3 Nxb3 12. Qxb3 {12.axb3 Kh7! 13.Qd2 Ng8 and Black will play Bh6, solving his major problem in this opening.} 12... Kh7 13. Be2 Bh6 14. Bxh6 Kxh6 15. O-O-O Kg7 16. Kb1 Qe7 17. Rdg1 Rh8 18. g4 {Spassky tries the same attacking method as in game 8, but Black's defense is easier here because his pieces are better coordinated.} 18... hxg4 19. fxg4 Nd7 20. g5 Nc5 21. Qd1 a5 {This preser ves the knight's outpost at c5, which is very important in this formation. Positionally, it can already be said that Black has a better game, so White must attack on the kingside.} 22. Rf1 Bd7 23.
