Jul-26-08  Macbeth: Great game by Lasker. Look at the pawn structure after 17. Bxh5. He got an overwhelming advantage in the endgame.

  tpstar: 21. h4 was a straight-up Pawn trade offer (21 ... Bxh4 22. Bxf4), yet Black sacrificed a Pawn with 21 ... c4!? 22. Qxc4 Bxh4 23. Bxf4 and White was better. Black headed for a BOOC endgame but White exploited the weak back rank starting with 30. Re1, then won material with 33. Be5! Rcxf2 (33 ... dxe5? 34. Rd8+ mates) 34. Bxf6+ Rxf6 35. Rf1 trading down to an easy win.
Jul-05-10  Oceanlake: Lasker improved quickly.
Jan-18-13  alllexiss: 33.Be5.....just perfect....
