  alexrawlings: How about 11 Bh6? This is the only game in the database where black survives 4.. g6 5 Nxg5. I looked it up because someone just played it against me in a correspondance game.

  Honza Cervenka: 4...f6 is a howler, which should lose the game. 11.Bh6 is okay and 12.Bh6 looks even better. But white had utterly won game in the text as well until 15.Rf3? Instead of that 15.Bd2 or 15.Rd1 should win easily. Lasker apparently hoped in 16...Qxa1? 17.Rg3 and overlooked that after 16...Qxg2+! 17.Ke3? (17.Ke1 was still relatively good for white) 17...Rxh7! turns the table as 18.Qxh7 Bc5+ leads to quick mate. It can happen even to such a genius like him in a simul game.
