Oct-31-04		Chessical: An extremely effective attacking game by Lasker aginst the Falkbeer Counter Gambit: After <8...Nd7?> Wahltuch was always on the defensive due to Lasker's accurate prosecution of his initiative. <8...exf4> 9.d4 Nd7= <15.Ng5!> was another alternative for Lasker, but he already has a winning scheme in mind. <19...Kg8> offers no escpae for Wahltuch, 20.Qxg4 hxg5 21.Qe6+ Kh7 22.Qf5+ Kg8 23.Qf7+ Kh7 24.Nf5 Bf8 25.Rf3 The end is inevitable: <23.Rad1> Qxe6 (23...Kf8 24.Nd6+) 24.Nxg7#

Oct-31-04		azaris: Qxf1+ prevents mate but there is no reason to play on.
