     Here is a puzzle from the same game as
another Fischer puzzle I posted just recently.

     Can you find the three moves that allowed white to take over the game?

     Bonus: Can you name Fischer's opponent?

     Bonus #2: Can you explain why this sequence
of moves works?

1) yes

Bonus) Reshevsky

Bonus 2) Because the Ne8 cuts communication between the queen and rook, plus the queen has no squares. also if ke6 qd5+ and the black king will get hunted.

     This is a famous game between Fischer and Reshevsky played in 1958.  Just Google those two names and the game will appear.

Black plays on from the final diagram before resigning on move 42 (!):
