Who's Bad? Wolfgang Unzicker vs Bobby Fischer | 1962 Varna Olympiad Final-A

This is a Round 7 game from the 1962 Varna Olympiad Final-A between Wolfgang Unzicker and Bobby Fischer. Fischer played black in the featured game, and opted for the Sicilian Defense, Najdorf variation. The d5 weakness Fischer inherits after playing e5 must be taken great care of, as otherwise the game could easily become yet another example of white obtaining a good knight vs a bad bishop. In addition to the battle surrounding d5 and the key minor piece exchanges to welcome/avoid, I found Fischer's use of the a-pawn particularly instructive. Lastly, a fairly rough thought/question entered my mind from this game..."Which colored enemy bishop is more annoying to a king who has only 2 pawns (rook/knight) as his shelter when major pieces are still present?".
