Hi Paul.
I tried to say something like that in the first paragraph.
Don't expect everything you see to be a dazzling move.
99% of chess at that level is slog and grind.
I pulled the game from Wade & O'Connell''s Games of Fischer.
No in depth notes, they give 29...Bxe5 a '?'
Monaco 1967.
Monaco actually produced a chess stamp to mark the occasion.

I've just did a search for Fischer v Bergraser on the net.
(should have done that first instead fanning about with ChessPad and trying things.)
I half expect to see this thread but discovered that it had been Kibitzed at Chessgames.com.
Fischer actually mentions this game in his 60 games in the notes to the
Robatsch game (No.41) the game where Black played 3...Qd5-d8.
Fischer stops here after 13. Bxd5 saying the pawn should prevail.
So that gives an insight into what follows and why choices were made.
Been through that book a dozen times, could not recall the game in the notes.
I knew the stem game quite well as I played 3...Qd8 hoping someone
would follow the Fischer game as I had an improvement.
No one did and I lost horribly on both occasions so that ended that experiment.
One lad on chessgames.com called Bergraser's 29...Bxe5 a duffer's move.
Bergraser was a correspondence GM, he was also an uncle and his nephew
just happened to be a member of chessgames.com. (OOPS!).
Apparently Bergraser's low score can be put down to fact he fell seriously ill
just after playing Fischer, he was unwell on the day he played Fischer and forfeited 4 games.
When I was messing about with ChessPad just looking at various lines
I had a look at a different move here...
....instead of Black's Rhf8 which led to all kinds of trouble. (the loss of a Rook being the chief one).
How about.....exd4
[FEN "1k1r3r/p1q4p/2pb4/4p3/2QP4/2P1B3/PP5P/2KR1R2 b - - 0 27"]
27... exd4 28. Rf7 Rd7 29. Rxd7 Qxd7 30. Qxd4 Rd8 31. Bf4 {That wins for White. I guess I was just trying to show Robbie that the e3 Bishop was not bad, it was only sleeping. I was going to show this but Black can perhaps play PxB instead of Rd7 and although Black drops his Queen he has a Bishop a Rook and a good pawn on e3 for it. Looked too messy to call.}
