Aug-20-07		keypusher: 41. Qd6+ seems to have been a hint for Black to resign. Wasn't Pollock a little strong for a simul? Anyone know the story behind this game? Lasker's first Ruy Lopez Exchange in the database.

Aug-20-07		paul1959: There are two games with Pollock in that sim and the second one is even worse. The early blunders do seem to indicate that W. H. K. Pollock ( a strong master) was not the opponent of Lasker in those games.

Aug-20-07		keypusher: I did a little bit more research. According to Steve Wrinn writing in Chesscafe, this game was played blindfold by both Pollock and Lasker. (His source, I think, was Whyld's <The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker>. That would explain the low quality, I guess.

Aug-21-07		Calli: <key> Right, this one is a both blindfold game and the other one, Lasker vs W Pollock, 1892 is one with consulting teams. Whyld does not name the partners for that game or how many. So, neither game is from a simul.

Aug-21-07		keypusher: <Calli> I would have guessed that the other game was blindfold. Or, had Alekhine been Black in that game...well, you know.

Aug-21-07		Calli: I read that wrong, Lasker did not have partners. He played 6 games against consulting teams.
