🔸Fischer,R

🔸Belgrade (9th matchgame), 1992

The Spanish (Ruy Lopez) Exchange Variation does have a reputation of being rather dull, but this encounter livened up quickly thanks to the recommendation of Bob (and obviously the ex-World Champion!). Black will complete his development and if things open up his bishop pair will definitely have a positive influence. The continuation was:
14.a5 Kb7 15.e5 Be7 16.Rxd8 Bxd8 17.Ne4 Kc6 18.axb6 cxb6 19.Nbxc5 Bc8 20.Nxa6 fxe5 21.Nb4+
and Black resigned.

⚫️#590 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Karpov,A
🔸Kasparov,G
🔸Linares, 1993

11...b5!
An interesting moment.
12.cxb5
According to Anand, from this point, Karpov does everything wrong. he incorrectly opens the a-file for the rook on a8.
12...axb5 13.Qxd6 Nfd7!
Unexpectedly Black has achieved excellent prospects.
14.f4?
A fatal mistake: White incautiously exposes his king, which is caught in the center.
14...b4! 15.Nf1 Ng4 16.Bd4 Bxd4 17.Qxd4 Rxa2 18.h3 c5 19.Qg1
White soon found himself with all of his pieces on the back rank.
19...Ngf6 20.e5 Ne4-+
