1.e4 {Notes by Lasker.} e6 2.c4 c5 {2...d5 looks sounder. If
3.cxd5 exd5 4.exd5 Nf6. If cxd5 exd5 4.e5 Black plays 4...d4
or c5, followed by Nc6, with good development and attack on
White's advanced post on e5.} 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 Nf6
6.Nc3 Bb4 7.Nxc6 {The alternative is 7.f3 d5 8.cxd5 exd5 9.Bb5
Bd7 or Qb6.} bxc6 8. Bd3 {If 8.e5 Ne4 9.Qd4 f5 10.exf6ep
Qxf6.} d5 9.cxd5 exd5 10.exd5 Nxd5 11.O-O Bxc3 {Weak would be
11.Nxc3 12.bxc3 Bxc3 13.Rb1 Be6 (or O-O) 14.Qc2 recovering the
pawn with a good position.} 12.bxc3 O-O 13.Qc2 Qh4 14.Re1 Bd7
15.Bd2 Rfe8 16.c4 Nf6 17.Bc3 Kh8 18.Qb2 Ng4 {The a-pawn and
c-pawn are welcome points of attack for the two White
Bishops. But Black should certainly play for counter attack by
c5, followed by Bc6; in fact, he should have done so on his
last move.} 19.h3 Nf6 {Now White wins by force , but in any
event Black stands poorly. A slight hope is offered by
23...Red8 followed by Kg8.} 20.Be5 Qg5 21. Re3 Nh5 22.Rae1 f6
