7 And then came Fischer's electrifying 29...Bxh2. Many
7 chess analysts -- most, in fact -- saw this move as only
7 one thing: an incredible blunder (??). But a more
7 balanced analysis would make that symbol "?!" --
7 indicating that the element of risk is high but that perhaps
7 the move really is one with strong possibilities.

"... I believe the final verdict is that objectively,
29...Bxh2? was a bad move, one that turned a
theoretical draw into a loss. Extensive analysis
by Olafsson and Timman, on pages 38-40 of
"Fischer World Champion" (New In Chess, 2002)
demonstrates this. That Spassky later erred,
playing 36.a4 instead of 36.Kg4, does not change
29...Bxh2? from a bad move to good. ..." - Taylor
