Aug-17-05		who: Oddly, Janowski closes the open d-file instead of doubling his rooks on it, throwing away the advantage gained by Lasker's 2nd move, and giving Lasker a chance to double on the c-file.

Jan-07-07		Maatalkko: I think 3.Nf3 is superior to 3. dxe5

Mar-02-08		Knight13: <1 .d4 d6 2.e4 e5 3.dxe5 dxe5 4.Qxd8+ Kxd8> I bet no one ever does that these days. It's just weird... And I agree with <who>'s comment.

Jun-12-09		FSR: I agree with Maatalkko. I don't think that this ending gives White a meaningful advantage. And given that Janowski's strength was as a tactician, while Lasker was a great endgame player who liked to trade queens (remember St. Petersburg 1914, where he beat Capablanca with the Exchange Lopez with 5.d4, and played 5.Qe2 against Marshall's Petroff), 3.dxe5 is particularly poor choice for Janowski.

Jun-12-09		keypusher: <FSR> Lasker was better at everything than Janowski, except maybe mustaches, but certainly including tactics. He crushes Janowski in one middlegame after another in this match.

Jun-12-09		tamar: Janowski was better at drawing wealthy patrons though.
