What's the white to mate end if this game continued?

There is a danger of stale-mate if
you aren't careful as white. But
i'm sure Fischer wouldn't have blown it.

Great. Thanks. Too bad this book
is out of print.

I like the way the King stays on the black
squares, so he can safely move around without
getting into check and having to stay close to the bishop.

After converting from descriptive notation,
in "My 60 Memorable Games", Fischer gives:

81. ... Bb3 82. Kf4 Kh8 83. Ke5 Bc4 84. Kd6 Bb3
85. Ke7 Bc4 86. Bf7 Bd3 87. Be8! Bc4 88. Bd7 Bg8
89. Be6 Bh7 90. f7 and queens.

Regards,
John

White will position his King on e5 and then move his Bishop to e6. Black
can't stop this maneuver. Black's King is confined to g8-h8 because if he
moves to f8 then White plays h7 and Black can't stop the pawn from queening.
