<Lasker in the 'University Chess Club'>

(21 May 1924, +19 -1 =0)

After a surprising victory at the International Chess Masters Tournament (New York (1924)), Emanuel Lasker gave three simultaneous exhibitions in New York: University Chess Club, the Brooklyn Jewish Centre and at the New York Athletic Club (The final two simuls are missing in Whyld - 1998).

The game-score above is from the 'Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1924.05.30':

'More or less light-hearted parting with a pawn, which later on became passed and the deciding factor, cost Dr. Lasker a game in his exhibition against 20 opponents at the University Club in Manhattan. Maj. Albert William Putnam was the fortunate player, who had the ability to turn this advantage to account and place the game with his famous adversary to his credit.'
