Game 6 routinely gets listed in top 5 or 10 all-time games, 1972 Fischer-Spassky. The position after 15 dxc5:

  But instead of Black taking with Pawn, 15 ...Rxc5 stands Black advantage, and nowhere found yet is this annotated (several versions checked back in 2012).  See what programs say since I have not bothered yet.  The 'Rxc5' was discovered when this thread reviewed all the games in 40-year anniversary 2012 as  the day they occurred. Game_6.  GMs have observed Spassky's supposed mistake 14 ...a6 instead of 14 ...Qb7, called ''correct."  Where is the fallacy?  No offense if someone can explain why Black does not easily at least equalize that way -- since we variantists are expert at dozens of games, not just the one peewee 64-version of Fischer/Kasparov/Carlsen.  Is there some sure attack against the unguarded Queen -- or Rook -- lurking, or something else?
