White is up the exchange for a pawn and before initiates his main attack, he gains more space on the kingside.
📘 6.h3 with the idea of pushing the g pawn was Fischer's pet variation in early 60s. Similar to Keres variation, white increases his spatial advantage on the kingside and his control over d5 square by g4-g5. In recent years, this variation has been played by Carlsen, Anand, and Shirov. 6.Rg1 with a similar idea of g4-g5 has also been tested in this position.
📘 7...Q.d5!? to transfer the queen to h5 after an exchange on c3.
📘 17.b4!
A) 17...Q.b4 18.Rab1 is in white's favor.
B) 17... B.b4 18.c5! cuts off the bishop and plans to transfer the knight to the d6 outpost.
C) 17...Qd8 18.d5! opens up central lines to utilize the development advantage.

📘 46.Re2? Rf1! -+
White lost his only chance for counter attack and possibility of even equalizing the position. He should have applied the idea of f5 (Kf3-g4-f5) right away, without losing any time.

📘 6...h5!?
An interesting move in this structure with the idea of keeping the threats in the kingside and also controling the d4 square by sending the knight to f5.
