Sep-22-04		iron maiden: This is the game that won Lasker the world championship, if I'm not mistaken. Interesting stat: Lasker is the only player in chess history to win more than half of the games in an official WC match, and he did this five times: twice against Steinitz, twice against Janowsky and against Marshall in 1907. He also won against Tarrasch in 1908 by winning half of the sixteen games played. In fact, the only two championship matches in which he did not win at least half of all games played were the Schlechter match in 1910, and the loss to Capa in 1921.

Jan-06-08		keypusher: This was the second time in the match Lasker won from this unpromising opening. Cf. Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2000

Feb-29-08		Knight13: "Three hurrahs for the new WORLD CHAMPION!" --- The Smiling Steinitz.

Dec-20-08		kevin86: Here's a irony! The chess title changes hands on the very day of the year that will eventually become the day of inauguration for American presidents (January 20). At the time,however,that day was March 4th. In 1937,the day was changed by way of constutional amendment #20

Dec-16-10		Phony Benoni: <kevin86> Sorry, but your observation doesn't work because the dates on the PGN for games in this match are screwed up. This game was actually played in Montreal on Saturday, May 26, 1894. http://books.google.com/books?id=Gb...
