Oct-11-06		tamar: Lasker's King easily outmanoeuvers the Black rooks, using his bishop as a shield (24 Bc5 and 26 Ba3)

Feb-29-08		Knight13: 10...Nc6?! I hate this move!

Jul-13-09		WhiteRook48: 45...Bh4!!! wins

Oct-15-09		keypusher: <WhiteRook48: 45...Bh4!!! wins> No it doesn't. White wins easily after either 46. c4 Be1 47. Bg1 or just 46. Kxe5 Bg3+ 47. f4 Bh2 48. b4 and the four pawns beat the bishop.

Nov-24-09		ounos: Lasker's King play is breathtaking.

Nov-24-09		WhiteRook48: 12...Nb5?!

Jun-11-10		ethan stech: Beautifully played endgame by Lasker. Particularly how he handles his king; first making efficient use of castling queenside to seize the d file, then playing c3 followed by Kc2, Kb3 and Kb4, taking out the weak queenside pawns. Simply magnificent.

Sep-13-10		soothsayer8: 10...Nc6 isn't bad, I think it's the best move, but 12...Nb5?! is sort of a head scratcher. 12...Nb3+ 13. cxb3 Rxd8 looks superior, why not double white's pawns instead of allowing him to double yours?

Jan-19-11		Llawdogg: The way Lasker used his king as an offensive weapon, it was like he was up a piece in this game. Even though there were four rooks and two bishops on the board, the white king was the dominant piece in the game from 28 Kb4 until the end of the contest over twenty moves later.
