Sep-19-06  Autoreparaturwerkbau: Nice attack. The final move wins due to totally unsafe black king.
Aug-12-09  birthtimes: Lasker writes, "If 5. Nxe5 c6 6. Nc4 Ng6 the White pieces get into difficulty."

"White here [6th move] should have proceeded with h4, which disarranges the Black position again."

"Black ought to have driven the knight away by 8...h6. The knight would have gone to e4 with a good game for White; nevertheless, that was Blsck's best chance."

After 10...Be6, "Now the diagonal a4-e8 has no defense."

  MissScarlett: Chess-Monthly, November 1890, p.96:

<We are also informed by [J. Berger] of the curious fact that Game 1206 of the same Sept. No. has been played move by move right up to the end by Mr. Blake, of Southampton, against Mr. Fraser, also by correspondence. Herr Berger need not have assured us that he never saw that game, and that he showed the whole final combination at the Graz Chess Club on February 15, and Mr. Gaspary, his opponent, resigned on April 5.>
