| Reszoe: See this: 13...Bxd4+ 14.Qxd4 Qxh1 15.Bxf4! Qh4+ (15...Qxa1? 16.Qd6 and wins) 16.Bg3 Qxg5 17.Qxa7 Qc5+ 18.Qxc5 Nxc5 19.Bxf7 with a better game (Tarrasch). Against Lasker!! |

| lopium: This openning is just too strong. I think Fischer refutated it, is it true? If yes, why it is still played?! |

| aw1988: <lopium> Fischer did "refute it". However, only in his own mind. His analysis is fairly good, but it can be improved. The verdict is that the King's Gambit is fully playable. |

| paladin at large: What a wonderful game by Charousek - with 18. Bxf4 the queen bishop enters the fray in the most efficient manner, completing development and White has a great position. It is indicative of Lasker's tenacity that he was able conjure up some resistance. |

| iron maiden: 11...Bxf3 looks a move too late. Why didn't Lasker play it on the tenth move? |

| Averageguy: <iron maiden> I suppose that Lasker simply wanted to develop his knight first. |

| who: Fischer doesn't talk about 3.Bc4 and in fact he played it himself Fischer vs Larry Evans, 1963. |

| chancho: Rudolph Charousek died in 1900. (He was only 26) Wilhelm Steinitz also died that year. The way Charousek took out the world champ in this game, is very impressive. |

| Jilted Rook: <chancho> Indeed - very slick transition into a won endgame. |

| madlydeeply: How about 17...f5? instead Nf6 block's his pawn and white king is secure behind his pawns. If 18 e5 then ...c5 after queen exchange the h pawn's power increases. Well I guess Lasker must have taken one look at the endgame and decided it was a lost cause... |

| guidomiguel: there is no endgame lol, its a knockout down a knight for a pawn... |

| Jilted Rook: <there is no endgame lol> That depends on what one considers are the factors that herald an endgame. It would not be unreasonable to judge the commencement of the aforementioned phase of the game at move 26 :) |

| JonathanJ: lasker's handling of the opening seems stupid in my eyes. i think it would be more natural to either give back the pawn OR give up the center. |
