Imagine being called a 2400 when you're two games away from 2500...

He did what to the Bishop?

he trapped it and the context is that bobby blundered his bishop against spassky in the WCC match and iconically in game 1 which was disturbing but creepy. he thought he was winning a pawn but instead he blundered his bishop trapping it in a cage which is the theme in my game where my opponent instead of retreating simply allows me to lock and trap his bishop

The tactic you did is called "entombment" of the bishop. Well done.

Fischer's game was still drawn after 29...Bxh2.

In your game, the real mistake (in the ending) is 46...g5 which unnecessarily puts another pawn at a dark square, and weakens the f5 square. White would win easily even without 49...Ba3.

After 50.Nd3 the bishop can avoid being trapped by return to c5- no? However, Black is lost because of that soft spot at f5 which keeps his king stuck at f6.
