In Bob versus Bo 1972, you know Fischer-Spassky Game 6, Spassky stood and joined the audience upon completion in applause it was supposedly so great a game.  Yet instead if 15 ...Rxc5, there are 1 0-0 Ra7 or 1 Rxc5 Qxc5 or 1 b4 Rxc1.  First impression proposals, correct them if they're wrong.  Annotations  never seem to have mentioned the obvious.  Where is the  fallacy that Black now stands better after Rxc5? I would look at programs for Bifurcators or Rococo or Eurasian or Three Player or Time Travel or Falcon Chess, when they exist, but not  for peewee famous Game 6 a la Fischer/Kasparov/Carlsen.  White's position is not so good and Black has to capitalize immediately.

  What do the engines say? Game Six 1972 is considered a top ten sort of game for OrthoChess: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1340520/10-greatest-chess-games-From-Kasporov-vs-Bobby-Fischers-victory.html.
