  stoy: This game is not the only example that I have seen of Emanuel Lasker playing black in a simultaneous exhibition.
Jan-15-09  Granny O Doul: The score says it's a blindfold simul, where the exhibitor usually prefers to alternate colors to facilitate keeping the games straight in his head.
Jan-15-09  Calli: <blindfold simul> Actually, it wasn't. This and the other game from 1892 are part of a set of ten individual games that Lasker played against 5 Franklin CC members. Two games each against Shipley, HG Voight, DM Martinez, AK Robinson and GC Reichhelm. These were regular one on one games, not simuls. I think Lasker won all games except the second one against Shipley.

  GrahamClayton: This game was played on the 24th of December. By arrangement with Shipley, Lasker played 5...♘e5.
Sep-16-10  TheFocus: Shipley suggested the openings in both of their games. He won one and lost the other.

These games were part of a series of exhibition matches against the Manhattan, Brooklyn and Franklin players.

Lasker scored +35=2-3 against some of the strongest players in American.

His success in these games persuaded many to back him in his match against Steinitz.
