Sep-07-03  ughaibu: Another charming final position.
Apr-06-04  parinda: i have to admit i laughed out loud during this game . but the final position is charming because look who is in possession of the ranks around the white king

3rd rank: bishops
4th rank: queen
5th rank: knights
6th rank: pawns

of course the king and rooks were guarding the 8th rank in case of any shenanigans.

Apr-06-04  Kenkaku: It's also amusing that Lasker is actually up in material at the end.
Apr-06-04  badbadLeroyBrown: What an ugly beatdown! NN didn't bring his "A" game.
Feb-09-05  Granite: I really enjoy that he didn't both taking white's queen which probably would have prompted a resignation, but instead went for mate.
Nov-01-05  lentil: shouldn't chessgames give credit where credit is due and acknowledge that White is the famous and long-lived punchng bag "NN"?
Dec-31-06  shadboltbill: I love Lasker, but hasn't anyone noticed that he could have mated a move earlier with 11...qd4++?
Dec-31-06  Sibahi: A mate with the knight is more aesthetically pleasing ..
May-25-08  JG27Pyth: Patzer vs Legendary World Champion... Patzer plays King's Gambit... hmmm wonder how this one will turn out?

Parinda,
The final position is amazing:

a) the White Knights side by side
b) the Black bishops side by side
c) the Black Knights side by side
