One of keys not mentioned was that White's bishop was rendered unusable by Black's pawn structure. Good thing to remember once you have eliminated one of your opponent's bishops. Then you should, if possible and reasonable, set up your pawns to negate the effectiveness of the remaining bishop. If you can do it well enough It's almost like winning a piece.

This is what Fischer meant, and Magnus means, when he says he's "better at chess than other people". Everyone is memorizing all the positions and games at the top level are essentially memory games played against one another. But Magnus already has all that stuff down pat. If you play a game based off your memory, you will lose. To win, you have to be "good at chess" and not just "good because I've memorized the best positions", elsewise Magnus will walk all over you -- as he does, repeatedly, to other players at the top. Fischer tried to do the same thing, breaking theory to weed out memorizers, when he created his Chess960 variant.
