Where does Black go wrong in Game 6 played 23.July.1972? The tournmant now
becomes 3.5-2.5 and the games run to end of August.

...bxc5, how about taking with the Rook 15 ...Rxc5? By 37 ...Nf6, it is too late as Fischer will inevitably under-trade Rook for that Knight in ensuing exchange sacrifice. Once Spassky makes the supposed mistake 14 ...a6 instead of 14 ...Qb7, called ''correct'' and discovered later, it throws a monkey wrench into all the subsequent moves in not comparing exactly with any other score even since from rather early Move 15 on. Http://www.home.roadrunner.com/~etzel/72game6.htm. //// Later: the link calls Game 6 here one of the best in the tournament. Can anyone find '15 ...Rxc5' annotated in support of Black? It appears after 15 ...Rxc5, 1 0-0 R-a7 or 1 Rxc5 Qxc5 or 1 b4 Rxc1, every choice advantages Black afterwards. Fischer's position may not be so great at this point with that right continuation against inactive Pawns of White. He only gets away with it upon quick Castling the very next move, which the forward Rook at c5 then would alleviate instead.
