While it does not diminish from the greatness of this game, I would like to point out that modern engines find the intermediate 14…Bxe3 even stronger than 14…Rh1 because it cuts off the King’s escape square.

A great game for Spassky. I love your enthusiasm in how you break down a chess position for both sides and why some of the tactical shots work and others not. Please keep bringing us some more. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
