After the Queen sacrifice by Black Move 30, most moves are forced upon
White.
There are only 4 or 5 chances for alternate moves at all the last nineteen
moves to the Resign. But each of those has about the same four or six
alternatives than the White move actually chosen by Averbakh.
First try: instead of retaking the Bishop after 41 ...Bxg5,
'42 Nxf4' as correction falls upon 42 ...Bxf4.
Is this then the first perfect game after a clear-cut brilliancy?
