15.b4!
Unexpectedly White begins play on the opponent's traditional part of the board. This idea was suggested to me by the poor coordination of the black pieces and the possibility of an attack on the d6-pawn.(Kasparov)
15...Be7
A rather belated retreat, but nothing better is apparent;
as the alternatives are weaker: 15...cxb4?! 16.Nxf6+ Qxf6 17.Ne4 Qe7 18.Qxb4 Bxd5 19.Qxd6 Qe6 20.Rfd1 Bxe4 21.Qxe6 fxe6 22.Bxe4 Ra7 23.Rd6+/-.
Or 15...Bxc3?! 16.Rxc3 cxb4 17.Re3 with the threats of Nxd6 and Qxb4.
16.bxc5! bxc5 17.Qf4 The main aim is not to allow the knight at b8 to come out.

17.Rc7!
At first sight White shows a frivolous lack of concern for his development problems, but in the struggle for the initiative he has already embarked on a slippery path, where it is not rules that have to be reckoned with, but exceptions to them.
If 17.Bb5 both 17...Bb7 followed by . ..e7-e6 and the immediate 17...e6! are good. (18.e5? is not possible because of 18...Rxd5!). The rook move is aimed against both these possibilities (17...Bb7?? 18.Bxa5; 17...e6 18.e5).
17...Bg4!
With the obvious desire to punish the opponent.
18.Ba6! e6!
The retribution seems imminent, but from this point the white pieces, although in a minority (without the rook on h1), display amazing resourcefulness.
19.Ng5!
Dynamic play: here the fight for an advantage is closely connected with safety concerns (after all, White is behind in development!).

🔹 Bobby Fischer
🔹 American Chess Grandmaster
🔹 Eleventh World Chess Champion
♦️ Robert James Fischer was an American chess grandmaster and the eleventh World Chess Champion. Many consider him to be the greatest chess player of all time.
🔘 Full name: Robert James Fischer
🔘 Country: United States
Iceland (2005–2008)
🔘 Born: March 9, 1943
Chicago, Illinois, US
🔘 Died: January 17, 2008 (aged 64)
Reykjavík, Iceland
🔘 Title: Grandmaster (1958)
🔘 World Champion: 1972–1975
🔘 Peak rating: 2785 (July 1972 FIDE rating list)
♦️ In March 1949, 6-year-old Bobby and his sister Joan learned how to play chess using the instructions from a set bought at a candy store. When Joan lost interest in chess and Regina did not have time to play, it left Fischer to play many of his first games against himself. When the family vacationed at Patchogue, Long Island, New York, that summer, Bobby found a book of old chess games and studied it intensely.
♦️ In June 1956, Fischer began attending the Hawthorne Chess Club, based in master John "Jack" W. Collins' home. For years it was believed that Collins was Fischer's teacher and coach, even though Collins stated that he did not teach Fischer. It is now believed that Collins was Fischer's mentor, not his teacher or coach.
Fischer played thousands of blitz and offhand games with Collins and other strong players, studied the books in Collins' large chess library, and ate almost as many dinners at Collins' home as his own.
♦️ A memorable game by Fischer named "Gold Rush" in chessgames.com site! 👇🏼

🔸 Eastern States Open (1956), Washington, Nov-??
