π a4!
Fischer's new move, which prevents 11..Bb5 exchanging the bad bishop on d7 with the very good one on d3. In the game between Maroczy-Capablanca, 1926, white played 11.0-0 and after 11...Bb5, the Ψgame was equal but eventually, Capablanca won. 11.Nbd2 also faces the same move.

π In this position, white is behind in material but he has compensation in the sense that the black king is exposed and vulnerable. If black can exchange the queens, he wins easily. so Fischer has played 29...Qf5! (with the idea of 30...Qf2) and after 30.b4 axb4 31.Rxb4+ Kc7, White resigned.
29...Bh6? 30.b4! axb4 31.Rxb4+ Kc7 32.Re7+-.
29...Re8?! 30.Qd2! and White still has some chances.
29...Bh6? 30.b4! axb4 31.Rxb4+ Kc7 32.Re7+-.

π 43.Rf1??
White has neglected his most effective defensive resources. He should have played 43.Qe6 or Bf1 to prevent black's h3.
43...h3 44.Rg1 Rc1! 0-1

π Czech Super grandmaster David Navara has been the national champion 7-times. Navara also won the European Blitz Championship in 2014. He found the only winning way: 55...NΓe3+ 56.Kf2 Qd2+ 57.Kf3 g4+ 58.Kf4 Qf2+ 59.Kg5 Qf5+! 60.QΓf5 NΓf5 0-1
π Jobava has completely forgotten the a1- square is attacked. He could have played 39...c4 40.Nc5 Ra1+ 41.Kg2 b3 -+ but instead he played: 39...Ne4 40.f3 Ra1+?? 41.NΓa1 1-0
