Presumably you refer to White's 17th move? If 17...bxc4 then 18.Nxc4 threatens Nd6+ winning the Bb7, among other things. Any oh-by-the-way, now where is the black king to find shelter?
Boris Spassky vs Stefan Szabo
Sort:
Also with the open b-file white's Queen can also join in on the attack. White can easily regain the material and have a strong attack.
For move 31. Na5 what do you mean by why didn't he save the bishop? Are you referring to the move 32. Qb5 where he allowed black to take the bishop? If you meant that then it's because white can easily regain the bishop back. As he is attacking the bishop on b7.
It's quite obvious that white has a tremendous compensation after 17. Bxc4 bxc4 18. Nxc4 and actually he appears to recover the sacrificed material with interest by force. Therefore It's understadable that Szabo didn't play 17... bxc4?
thank you all

It takes lot of practice but actually this shot Bxc4 is not terribly difficult to see. You don't certainly need to be GM for that. I would imagine that many strong club players would easily find it. The difficult part is to get into position where there exists a combination.
Finally , i have a question
please tell me about 17th move ...
thank you
