Dec-27-05		Caissanist: Many of the games of the Lasker-Janowski world championship match have a kind of hilarious sameness to them: Lasker plays some outrageous move (21...h5!?) designed to lure Janowski into launching an unsound attack against Lasker's king. Janowski falls for it. The attack fails. Lasker collects the point.

Sep-06-07		Petrosianic: <Many of the games of the Lasker-Janowski world championship match have a kind of hilarious sameness to them:> True, but... <Lasker plays some outrageous move (21...h5!?) designed to lure Janowski into launching an unsound attack against Lasker's king.> ...In this case, I don't think that is the case. I think that Janowski's 21. P-B5 was in fact a blunder, and Lasker's "outrageous" reply was actually the correct way of taking advantage of it. How is White supposed to reply here? If 22. Qg3, then exf5 and Black's just gotten a pawn for nothing. If 22. Qf3 Nc3!. I bet that Janowski saw the Knight fork, but couldn't find anything better.

Mar-02-08		Knight13: < Queen Pawn Game: Colle System (D04)> This game actually transposed into one of the Queen's Gambit Acceptedlines. <How is White supposed to reply here? If 22. Qg3, then exf5 and Black's just gotten a pawn for nothing. If 22. Qf3 Nc3!. I bet that Janowski saw the Knight fork, but couldn't find anything better.> I think your 22. Qg3 is better than taking the pawn and gettin' forked.

Sep-21-10		soothsayer8: cool game! Love the Lasker counter-attack.

Jan-29-11		Llawdogg: Janowski would attack, run out of gas, and then lose to Lasker. Lather, rinse, repeat.
