From A Completely Lost Position Korchnoi Strikes Back!

Soviet GM Boris Spassky makes a piece sacrifice on move 12 and by relying on the weakness of the a-file builds up a dangerous attack! Unfortunately he misses too many winning chances and finally once he makes a mistake Korchnoi goes for a Queen sacrifice thus equalizing the game! Soon Spassky makes more mistakes and with a final exchange sacrifice Korchnoi wins the game!
