May-05-05 | | Calli: <notyetagm> Really? You think it might become famous? |

May-06-05 | | notyetagm: <Calli: <notyetagm> Really? You think it might become famous? > Just stating my admiration for Dr. Lasker's brilliant play, that's all. |

Aug-01-05 | | PaulLovric: lol, they are still annoyed
|
|
Aug-01-05 | | RookFile: They had a term for Emanuel Lasker,
I forget exactly what it is right now.
It was something like "fantastic energy", and conveyed the notion of a
genius, supremely motivated, giving the game everything he had. That was
what a formidable opponent he was in his best years. |

 | | offramp: I believe his close friends used to call him "Die Unwahrscheinlichspannkraftmeister". |
|
Aug-01-05 | | sneaky pete: <offramp> "Der" please, unless his name was Emanuela. |
|
Aug-01-05
 | | offramp: I was taking the noun as being Spannkraft. |
|
Aug-01-05 | | molle2006: The gender of a german noun is always taken from the last part of the word. This just by the way... This game is really impressive, because (with Kasparov's notes in the Fritz Database) it is really a game between two human beings and not just a sequence of moves. Both of them get nervous, make mistakes and so on, and you can really imagine these two brilliant men sitting at the chess board and trying to beat each other with the power of their minds. |

 | | chancho: This is the game where Pillsbury noted that 7 Bxf6 was a better move. He waited eight years to spring that novelty on Lasker. |
|
Aug-01-05 | | kevin86: Lasker takes Pillsbury to the woodshed;mate will follow in two after ♗d8+ |
|
Aug-01-05 | | britny rules: this is one of the best games i have ever seen!!! |
|
Aug-01-05 | | Hincho: 27...Q - f5+ 28.K-h8 is there a defence? Gentlemen start your computers. |
|
Aug-07-05 | | dac1990: <Hincho> No, there is not. |
|
Aug-20-05 | | patzer2: The most amazing thing about this game is the analysis done by Kasparov and friends for his forthcoming book. Initially, it appeared 28. Qf5! Kg8 29. Kb1 equalized and gave White a forced draw. However, at the Chessbase.com site provided above by <Sergey Sorokhtin>, Kasparov's subsequent analysis demonstrated a win for Black after 28. Qf5+! Kg8 29. Kb1 (29. Qe6+ Kh8 30. Kb1 Bxd4 ) 29... Bxd4! 30. Re1 Qb4+ 31. Kc1 Qc3+ 32. Qc2 Qa1+ 33. Qb1 Rc3+ 34. Rc2 Be3+ 35. Rxe3 Qxb1+ 36. Kxb1 Rxe3 (Sorokhtin). <Sergey Sorokhtin> am I correct in assuming you found the win for Black after 28. Qf5+ and provided the correction to Kasparov? |
|
Aug-20-05 | | Calli: Yeah its amazing how many times Kasparov can get it wrong and then be corrected by an amateur with a computer. |
|
Feb-12-06 | | MorphyMatt: The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games says that Pillsbury resigned after 28... Qc3+ |
|
Jun-17-06 | | GeauxCool: Lasker's superior development begins creating threats by move 17...Rxc3!! -Fine |
|
Jun-17-06 | | TheBB: This game is analyzed at the bottom of this Chessbase article: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... |
|
Jun-18-07 | | docofthree: pillsbury had win with 28 Qf5+ i have tremendous respect for lasker but i believe pillsbury was a better player and could have won the title in1895 or 1896 before his illness progressed |

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: <docofthree: pillsbury had win with 28 Qf5+> Is this some sort of joke? If so, you have a weird sense of humour. |
|
Jun-18-07 | | docofthree: no joke,you can win without a queen i believe queen sac gets at least a draw after 29 Qc3 |
|
Jun-18-07 | | docofthree: i meant 29 Qd3 |
|
Jun-18-07 | | ounos: <docofthree>, 29. Qd3 Rxd3. Maybe you played two moves for White by mistake. |
|
Jun-26-07 | | notyetagm: 18 ... ♖c3-a3!! followed eight moves later by 26 ... ♖c3xa3!!, offering to sacrifice the second rook on the exact same square on which the first rook was sacrificed, is brilliant beyond words. Position after 18 ... ♖c3-a3!!
