Sleight
What did Fischer always say about the Yugoslav Attack vs. the Dragon? Something to the effect of open well and then "sac, sac, mate!" This game shows that even without the crispest of opening play, the addage holds true.

I thought the thread title was a Fischer inspired dream.
And I was all set to share my subtle erotic nighttime fantasies.

Typical attack nicely executed, well played. However, I'd criticise 11.cxb3 - unless you have an extremely specific reason in mind, you should be playing 11.axb3 there.
I still planned to castle Queenside and after 0-0-0 and Kb1, Black has no real attacking chances against the White King, though his endgame is awful, as Fischer explained in My 60 Memorable Games.
Yes, but the queenside structure for queenside castling is much more favourable after axb3 than cxb3. cxb3 unnecessarily cedes some central control and takes away some of your options, whereas axb3 doesn't have these drawbacks.
I'm not criticising for the sake of it, just trying to help out :)
In my database, cxb3 was played only 6 times by players average 1900 elo, axb3 was played 67 times by players average 2250 elo.

I agree with marvellosity about axb3. the point being that after 0-0-0, Kb1! and the a file isn't that dangerous.
but your attack Rxh5 was not bad, using Fischer's patented sacrifice.
