We are helping out White who lost 80 years ago,
Euwe-Reti.
Black Queen has spent three moves to get to '11 ...Qc5'.
Trading Queens at that first opportunity takes those three moves
away as wasted. So instead of what actually played, the following
two are forced for Black: 12 Qxc5 Bxc5 13 Nxe4 fxe4 14 Rxe4 Check.
Upon which, Black can either move Bishop back or give up castling
by moving King. Regardless, White is ahead the Pawn for pretty easy
coast to Win, and so much for another classic OrthoChesser long-saved
for posterity.
Where does White go wrong in the first one, Glucksberg-Najdorf?
This is classic not least because the Pawn performs the checkmate once Black is down four pieces! Where is White's best counterplay,
or does it have to go back all the way to before the brilliancy '9 ...Bxh2'? That would be un-kosher and tantamount
to acknowledging this being the first really perfect game so far, after a brilliancy -- all the other 16 or 18 immortal scores, including several
Spassky-Fischer 1972, having been disproved as such by a better move. Finding one here does not look so promising.
