From the mid-thirties, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chess_games
alternate-directionally, where does Black go wrong:
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1264050? Esteban Canal is
Peruvian, and the title since Peru borders Columbia, 'a man a plan a canal'
requires 'panama' to be palindrome.

Above game there has been a brilliancy upon 8 Qxf3 let's say. The error by Black is to prepare to castle on the wrong side, when all three White diagonallers are trained that way. Revised '9 ...N-e7' should delay the outcome for possible Draw.

Next, where does Black go wrong in year 1938: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1031957? Brilliancy would appear to be 30 B-a3 Qxa3 sacrificing Bishop outright for empty space. Everything before Move 30 therefore is no-comment set-in-stone. So where does Black go wrong in the last eleven moves to try to reverse this outcome?
