...black has the advantage.

He pushes his pieces forward in a general way, and with 20...exf4, is a pawn up.

On move 29 Lasker also wins the ♙d3. Ettlinger seems to see something brilliant; he gives up the exchange, Rd1xd3, and then a bishop, to reach this position, after 32.Qxf6:

White is threatening 33.Qg5+. 33...Kh8 would allow perpetual check and 33...Kf8 would lose the ♖d3 to 34.Qf5+.

But it is not much of a threat. Lasker deals with it easily and essentially the game is over.

A bit of a cakewalk for Lasker.
