Changing the move order

I recently read a suggestion (possibly from Hans Ree), that if a combination doesn't seem to work, try changing the move order. Playing a less obvious move may bring greater rewards than charging headlong into the gates.
I recently gave a game from the 1953 Zurich Candidates tournament where Paul Keres came unstuck after trying a novelty in the opening. To balance the ledger I have a game from the same event, where Keres benefited from an unsuccessful innovation from Isaac Boleslavsky. It also illustrates the point of this article, in that Boleslavsky only looked at Keres' possible replies in one order, and didn't consider the alternative.
