Dec-03-08		WhiteRook48: Ha ha ha ha!!! c8Q?? was stalemate!!! With c8R, Lasker gets mated!!

Jan-03-09		WhiteRook48: even Lasker couldn't keep his opponent from winning

Jan-10-09		WhiteRook48: I'm thinking maybe 68. c8=B also wins: 68. c8=B Ka8 69. a6 Ka7 70. Bb7...

Feb-17-09		WhiteRook48: why not 64. Kb6? it wins faster

Mar-27-09		WhiteRook48: 9. Rd1+ won for Short in the 8 passed pawns game

Sep-27-09		whiteshark: Lasker overdraw his position. <39...Bg7> and move repetition would have been appropriate.

May-11-11		TheFocus: This was not a simultaneous game. It was part of an exhibition match series against members of the Manhattan Chess Club. Lasker won 2-1 against Simonson.

Mar-23-12		GrahamClayton: Here is an interesting story about a literary hoax that involved Simonson: http://chillifrog.tumblr.com/post/1...

May-21-13		Phony Benoni: Promoting to a bishop also wins, but would only have been worth doing a few years later when Lasker was world champion. Why waste it on an ordinary master? If Lasker had been in his prime, White would have promoted to a knight and added to the legend of Lasker's ability to escape lost positions.
