17...cxb3
17...Qxb3 18.Qxb3 cxb3 was a safe alternative, where Black just keeps his extra b-pawn.
18.Qxc5 gxf6 19.Rd4 Qa6 20.Qh5
Now Black's weakened kingside gives White counterchances.
20...f5 21.Rd8 Qa5+ 22.Rd2 Qe5 23.0-0
Finally.
23...Be6 24.Qg5+ Kh8 25.Rfd1 Rg8
26.Qe3?!
A questionable decision. Now Black's king becomes a strong piece instead of a vulnerable one, and eventually Lima managed to convert his extra pawn:
26...Qxe3 27.fxe3 Rac8 28.Kf2 Kg7 29.Bd3 Kf6
and Black won the game in move 47.

Black to move
What move would you play here? The natural and obvious 14...Nc4? What candidate moves did you choose between? You probably also considered several rook moves. Fischer, however, opted for...
14...Kh8!?
Indeed, hardly the first move you would think of Prophylaxis against a possible knight sacrifice on e6, perhaps?
