Copying Bobby Fischer

In this Philidor defense game (3+2 tourney game - 6-2-0,30 acpl) I thought about Bobby Fischer's Qe8 plan to attack pawn a4 (See second game below), and I thought "Why not ?" :


Here's the game by Fischer, with the Alekhine defense.
As a teenager I remember that I was surprised. At that time I didn't understand why Fischer was so greedy wanting that a-pawn, and I never saw before such a way to attack a pawn so many times :)
