Jul-22-16 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972

| garland: Spassky vs Krogius, 1958 Beyond a doubt the source game for the whole Ba5-Bb6 idea. The different move here is 14... Bd7 based on the simple but strong idea of attacking the rook on 15. Bxf6. This was probably part of Bobby's preparation for this game. |

| garland: Prag's instincts are insane. Not just a run of the mill genius. He actually seems like a really classical player. None of his recent games are on this site but they should be. |
