1899.01.05 Lasker Simul 25b, Glasgow (1899) (+23=2-0)

Play took place in the Athenæum... Mr Lasker gave an exceedingly interesting exhibition, and played so rapidly and decisively that in three hours he had won twenty-three of the twenty-five games which he undertook. The other two encounters were drawn. These were played by Messrs W. N. Paton and Peter B. M. Roberts... The player who gave Mr Lasker most trouble was Mr J. Borthwick, who in an ending from the Sicilian opening was a pawn to the good. Having to face the chaampion sic alone at the close, Mr Borthwick was overpowered, and his game added to the list of Mr Lasker's wins.
