📘 32...g5!
The only strong continuation on the board that maintains black's advantage. Black provides the f4 square for his rook which there it can defend f7 and b4 pawns. It also fixes white's weak g4-pawn.

📘 A: 33...Rh8?
With the idea of Kg6 and checkmating the white king.
The move order between Kg6 and Rh8 is important. Boris Gulko in his book 'lessons with a grandmaster' says: "if you plan to play two moves and don't know in which order to play them, start with the move you will play no matter what."
He needed to have played Kg6 first.

Black should have played 16...Be6 and take control of the d5-square. After the game move, white gains initiative.

An interesting continuation that Kasparov successfully has employed against Dominguez in Saint Louis blitz tournament,2017. the idea behind is to prevent white's pawn raid on the king side.

📘 37.a4!
White is a pawn up and his bishop is better than opponent one. So he strengthens his queenside position and then looks for a plan against the black king. as you know in the opposite- bishop middlegames, The one who gets an attack is like having a piece up.

📕 We have a typical king's Indian attack in which white aims to attack in the kingside and black looks for a counterattack in the queenside. If white manages to block the queenside, he strategically gains a huge advantage, so in this game, Fischer played 13.a3! to prevent the black a3 move. Otherwise, black can play a3 himself and continue his attack on the queenside with moves like Ba6 and c4.

13.N1h2 A typical move in white's plan (with the idea of 14.Ng4) might have been faced with 14...a3! 15.b3 Ba6 with a complicated game.
