Apr-06-04  badbadLeroyBrown: What an ugly beatdown! NN didn't bring his "A" game.
Feb-09-05  Granite: I really enjoy that he didn't both taking white's queen which probably would have prompted a resignation, but instead went for mate.
Nov-01-05  lentil: shouldn't chessgames give credit where credit is due and acknowledge that White is the famous and long-lived punchng bag "NN"?
Dec-31-06  shadboltbill: I love Lasker, but hasn't anyone noticed that he could have mated a move earlier with 11...qd4++?
Dec-31-06  Sibahi: A mate with the knight is more aesthetically pleasing ..
May-25-08  JG27Pyth: Patzer vs Legendary World Champion... Patzer plays King's Gambit... hmmm wonder how this one will turn out?

  GrahamClayton: <parinda>i have to admit i laughed out loud during this game . but the final position is charming.

Parinda,
The final position is amazing:

a) the White Knights side by side
b) the Black bishops side by side
c) the Black Knights side by side

  Alex Schindler: Was this played April, 1 1900? That final position is something between art and macabre humor lol
Mar-21-15  sydbarrett: I'll one-up the previous comments and say that that is the most outrageous final position I've seen

Me too. At least we'd be in the anthologies. And this is the only immortality you and I may share, my <OCF>.

  FSR: A picturesque final position. Note that if Black's queen were removed, he would still have a forced mate after (a) 13.Ke4 f5+ 14.Kf4 and now either 14...g5+ 15.Kxg5 Rg8+ (my line) or 14...Ng6+ (which Houdini points out mates a move faster) or (b) 13.Kf4 g5+ 14.Kxg5 (14.Ke4 f5#) Rg8+.

  Phony Benoni: Note that there are no pieces in the immediate vicinity of White's king. It reminds me of the Famous Last Words of General John Sedgwick during a battle in the U.S. Civil War:

"Don't worry, boys! They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance!"

  perfidious: <PB> Ah, lovely--after that classic utterance, Gen Sedgwick did see the elephant.
Dec-02-15  pumping707: Lasker humiliate the king....dts very classical...

  offramp: The rarest of mates: a mirror mate.

Mar-20-18  CheckMateEndsTheGame: Lasker being a troll master by not going for mate with qd4++!

  FSR: If you're a beginner playing two of the strongest players on the planet, the King's Gambit may not be your best choice of opening. Unless you need to get home soon, that is.
