| molle2006: The gender of a german noun is always taken from the last part of the word. This just by the way... This game is really impressive, because (with Kasparov's notes in the Fritz Database) it is really a game between two human beings and not just a sequence of moves. Both of them get nervous, make mistakes and so on, and you can really imagine these two brilliant men sitting at the chess board and trying to beat each other with the power of their minds. |

| chancho: This is the game where Pillsbury noted that 7 Bxf6 was a better move. He waited eight years to spring that novelty on Lasker. |

| patzer2: The most amazing thing about this game is the analysis done by Kasparov and friends for his forthcoming book. Initially, it appeared 28. Qf5! Kg8 29. Kb1 equalized and gave White a forced draw. However, at the Chessbase.com site provided above by <Sergey Sorokhtin>, Kasparov's subsequent analysis demonstrated a win for Black after 28. Qf5+! Kg8 29. Kb1 (29. Qe6+ Kh8 30. Kb1 Bxd4  ) 29... Bxd4! 30. Re1 Qb4+ 31. Kc1 Qc3+ 32. Qc2 Qa1+ 33. Qb1 Rc3+ 34. Rc2 Be3+ 35. Rxe3 Qxb1+ 36. Kxb1 Rxe3 (Sorokhtin). <Sergey Sorokhtin> am I correct in assuming you found the win for Black after 28. Qf5+ and provided the correction to Kasparov? |

| Calli: Yeah its amazing how many times Kasparov can get it wrong and then be corrected by an amateur with a computer. |

| SwitchingQuylthulg: <docofthree: pillsbury had win with 28 Qf5+> Is this some sort of joke? If so, you have a weird sense of humour. |
|
| Jun-18-07 |
| docofthree: no joke,you can win without a queen i believe queen sac gets at least a draw after 29 Qc3 |
|
| Jun-18-07 |
| docofthree: i meant 29 Qd3 |
|
| Jun-18-07 |
| ounos: <docofthree>, 29. Qd3 Rxd3. Maybe you played two moves for White by mistake. |

| Knight to f6: Despite the large number of errors by both sides, this game continues to inspire admiration within me every time I have seen it for the last three years. This was Lasker's finishing blow in his brief rivalry with Pillsbury, from which there really was no return (although Pillsbury did defeat Lasker several times between then and his death. Such moves as Rxc3!, Ra3!!, and 8 moves later Rxa3!!! (again!!) are unforgettable. |

| TheFocus: It is a commonly accepted myth that Pillsbury discovered Bxf6 and waited eight years to spring it on Lasker. The truth is that Pollock discovered the move and printed it in British Chess Magazine in 1896. His and Mason's notes later made up the book St. Petersburg 1895-96, printed in 1896. This is another one of those "chess myths" that seems to never die. |

| ZZer: And if White had played 28.Kb1? Would Lasker still win the game? |

| Sastre: <And if White had played 28.Kb1? Would Lasker still win the game?> Yes, Black is still winning after 28.Kb1 Bxd4. White can't play 29.Rxd4 because of 29...Qxa2 30.Kc1 Rc3#. One possible line is 29.Qf5+ Kg8 30.Re1 Qb4+ 31.Kc1 Qc3+ 32. Qc2 (not 32.Kd1 Qa1+ 33.Ke2 Re3+ 34.Kf2 Qxe1#) Qa1+ 33.Qb1 Rc3+ 34.Rc2 Be3+ 35.Rxe3 Qxb1+ 36.Kxb1 Rxe3 and Black has a two pawn advantage in the endgame. |
