Yes! I KNOW its just a simul game! ó__ò

Nov-07-14  TheFocus: Lasker was taking on all comers at the German Exbition in London. Not a simul.

Played in early August.

  kingscrusher: It is fascinating to see this early evolution of the hugely popular Berlin Wall system - the move 6...bxc6 instead of 6....dxc6 which is the modern interpretation of "best representation"

Here I expected 26.Nxf7, but then Black can castle, though he is still losing. But Lasker instead plays 26.Rd1, forcing the rook to defend the bishop and taking away d8 from the king. Then 27.Qd6 and there is no defense to mate.

"If you see a good move...."
