I think the move just looks worse here, than it is actually. Tiger calculates
from the beginning, that he can free the bishop by the maneuvre a2-a4-a5. So
it's not the simple bishop cageing problem (1.Bxa7 b6 2.a4 Kd7 3.a5 Kc6 4.axb6
cxb6 [4...Kb7 5.bxc7] 5.Bb8 etc.).

Btw. this idea doesn't work in this position:

[D]5k2/pp4pp/3bpp2/1P6/8/P2KP3/5PPP/2B5 b - - 0 28

Here, the bishop cannot escape because of the e3 pawn, i.e. 28...Bxh2 29.g3 h5
30.Ke2 h4 31.Kf3 hxg3 32.fxg3 Bg1

Chess Tiger sees it quickly (P3/700, 32 MB Hash):

Spassky,B - Fischer,R
5k2/pp4pp/3bpp2/1P6/8/P2KP3/5PPP/2B5 b - - 0 1

Analysis by Chess Tiger 14.0:

29...Bxh2 30.g3 h5 31.Ke4 h4 32.gxh4 Ke7 33.a4 Bd6 34.Bb2 f5+ 35.Kd4 Kf6
  ยต  (-0.96)   Depth: 10   00:00:00  103kN
  =  (0.02)   Depth: 12   00:00:03  742kN
29...Ke7 30.f4 Bc5 31.a4 a6 32.Bb2
  =  (-0.10)   Depth: 12   00:00:20  4521kN
29...a6 30.bxa6 bxa6 31.f4 Ke7 32.a4 Kd7 33.Bb2 Kc7 34.Ke4 Kc6 35.Bd4 Bb4 36.g3
  =  (-0.20)   Depth: 12   00:00:25  5815kN
  =  (-0.18)   Depth: 13   00:00:27  6161kN

Fischer took the pawn, Tiger doesn't... :o)
