📘 A) 9.Ne2
An interesting idea by Caruana.
Ne2-->g4-->Ng3-->Nf5 then 0-0-0 and attacking on the kingside.
B)
Anand has played a different idea:
0-0-->Nd2-->Nc4-->N×d6 and eventually f4.

📘 9.Be2!
Why prepare to fianchetto, and then develop the bishop to e2? because Circumstances changed with Tal's last move and Fischer is quick to adapt to the new environment. The bishop covers f3, as well as c4 while preparing Qd4.
9.Bg2 d6 10.Qd4 a6 11.0-0-0 axb5 12.Bxe5 Be7+/- Now if the bishop was on e2, white would take the b5 with the check!
9.Bg5? helping the knight on e5 from getting rid of the pin, is not a logical way.

📘11.c4!
Black has two bishop advantage, so Fischer decides to close the position. In a single stroke, Fischer removes the fluidity from Black's queenside pawns, and secondly, fixes c5 as a stationary target.
Either 11.f4 or11.Be3 are faced with 11...c4!
