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.

A fatal mistake: White incautiously exposes his king, which is caught in the center.
