In Fischer's game of the century, Fischer sacrifices his queen on his 17th move, allowing him to set up a windmill and win the match. However, did Fischer have a plan if rather than Byrne playing Bxb6, Byrne played Bxe6? If this is played, Fischer is down a piece in material, will have to move his queen, and then will loose his knight on c3. Do any of you see a good continuation for Fischer if Byrne did play 17.Bxe6. Any input is appreciated.
