I don't see the finish in your line if Black simply takes the queen: 12. Ng5+ Kg8 13. Qh4 Re8 14. Qh7+ Kf8 15. Qh8+ Ng8 16. Qxg8+ <Kxg8>.

Moreover, after 12. Ng5+ Kg8 13. Qh4, I think Black improves with <13...Qxc2>. In that case, I don't even see perpetual check for White anymore.

So I think Bronstein's 12. Qh4+ and 13. Qxe7 was best.

Analysing without a board when tired is fraught with danger! :)
Jun-24-19  Inocencio: Managing Bad Bishop. Korchnoi is an expert in managing a bad bishop. Korchnoi has a solid position, Bronstein could not penetrate despite several attempts of breakthroughs.
