 | | GrahamClayton: I think that chessgames.com has the wrong details. Black is actually NM Macleod, the Canadian whose main claim to fame is holding the record for the most defeats in a single tournament - 31 at New York, 1889. The game was played in Quebec in 1892. Can the database be changed?
I am only aware of one other game where a player continued to play while 2 Queens down: H Wolf vs Duras, 1907

 | | FSR: The game ends with a weird quasi-epaulet mate. |
|
| Jul-07-14 | | ljfyffe: Nicholas MacLeod was indeed Black. D.R. (Donald Ross) MacLeod was a Quebec player of
that time. Could be the father of Nicholas because Nicholas' brother was William D.R. MacLeod. Not sure though. The brothers moved to the US. MacLeod Cup donated by Nicholas' family to the Canadian Chess Association after Nicholas took possession of the C.C.A. trophy in 1888. |
|
| Aug-02-14 | | ljfyffe: Donald MacLeod played in the 1881 and 1882 Canadian Championships. |
|
| Oct-18-14 | | TheFocus: Lasker, the eternal optimist, plays on even when down by two Queens!! |
|
| Oct-22-14 | | ljfyffe: Nicholas was the only player to beat Lasker in the Quebec simul event. |
|
| Oct-22-14 | | ljfyffe: I see that Donald also played in the 1886 Canadian Chsmpionship. |
|
| Oct-22-14 | | ljfyffe: Championship. Donald ranked 3rd in '82 and '86. |
|
| Nov-13-14 | | TheFocus: From a simul in Quebec on November 26, 1892. Date above is wrong. Lasker scored +15=2-1. |
|
| Dec-18-15 | | joddon: Lasker just gets mauled in the endgame.....a very drawish game can turn into a mess if your not counting properly in the end!LOL |

 | | MissScarlett: MacLeod beat Lasker in another simul 10 years later in Minneapolis, on January 22nd, 1903; again it was Lasker's sole defeat. |
|
| Dec-19-15 | | Fiona Macleod: The pain of this defeat Lasker carried with him to his grave. |
|
| Dec-20-15 | | TheFocus: There is a mate in 2 after 57...Qb1, 57...Qh1 or 57...Qg7. |

In the morning he played three off-hand games of chess against McLeod, champion of Canada; Pope, and Chilk. He won all the games. In the afternoon he played eighteen Quebec players in a simultaneous exhibition. He began at 3 o'clock, and by six o'clock had won
fifteen games, lost one to McLeod, and drew two against Chilk and Mrs. Robertson. In the evening Andrews was pitted against Lasker, which also ended in favor of Lasker. > Source: The Sun, 28 November 1892, Page 6 |

 | | jnpope: <Herr Lasker arrived in this city on Saturday morning, and according to appointment, made his bow before a Quebec audience, in the hall of the Morrin College, and soon convinced those present that he knew something of the royal game.
At the morning seance he encountered simultaneously Messrs. C. P. Champion, N. MacLeod, E. Pope, R. McLimont and W. Chalk, all of whom had to yield to the young champion.
The afternoon sitting was interesting. The hall was crowded with spectators, and quite a number of the fair sex graced the meeting. The champion encountered sixteen players, viz.: Madame E. Joly de Lotbiniere, Messrs O. E. Dorion, L. Brunet, N. MacLeod, E. Pope, R. McLimont, A. Robertson, C. P. Champion, E. Walsh, L. F. Burroughs, W. Chalk, H. S. Thompson, J. E. Walsh, A. J. Maxham, E. Jones and Mr. Ferrie. Play commenced shortly after 3.00 p.m., and before 6.00 o'clock Herr Lasker had won thirteen games, lost one, to Mr. N. MacLeod and drawn with Madame E. Joly de Lotbiniere and Mr. W. Chalk.>
