  ChessCoachClark: Excellent point by <Nomen Nescio>. This contest is game #5018 on page 970 in the tome CHESS: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games by Laszlo Polgar, but he, like Schlechter, also misses this earlier maneuvering point.
Jan-30-23  Procyon2020: I'm pretty sure this game is featured in 'How to Force Checkmate' by Fred Reinfeld, but it implies a different score with at least 2 more moves: 16...Kg6 17. Qd3+ f5 18. exf6+ Kh5 are the logical moves leading to the resulting position which is a mate in 2 in two different ways (diagram 37). Are these additional moves from analysis by Reinfeld or is the game shown here incomplete here?
