Here, I should have played: 7. Nde2 Be7 8. g4 0-0 9. Ng3! g6 10. g5 Ne8 11. h4 with a powerful attack.
If 7. ... Be6 8. g4 d5 9. exd5 Nxd5 10. Bg2 with a comfortable edge. These lines are from Fischer's book "My 60 Memorable Games." |

Perhaps I should have exchanged my Bishop for "the Dark Knight." |

Looks like keeping the bishop was a good idea. |

The King returns to his original square. |

31... Bxf6 32. Qxh7+ Kf7 33. g8=Q#

This is a:
1) Pawn Promotion
2) Double Check
3) Discovered Check
and last, but not least 4) Checkmate |
