Knight vs Bishop -> Grandmaster EndGame

Mato Damjanovic vs Robert James Fischer
Buenos Aires (1970); English Opening (A31)


After 37 moves, both Queens were exchanged and the below position was reached with White to play.
Black's N is more stronger because White's B is a bad bishop (has less mobility due to many white pawns on white squares).
