When I first saw this game, I wondered why white walked into the checkmating combination with Kg1. I think instead of resigning or dragging it out a few more moves, Byrne realized how epic of a game it was, and wanted to finish it and make the ending as spectacular as possible.
@andthatsforthewin You're right. He could see the game was lost. Apparently he asked those watching if he should "let the kid checkmate him." Fischer was 14. He knew it was something special.
