May-26-25 M Filipcic vs Lasker, 1924 
| |
| Mathematicar: <stone free or die>, thank you for reply. Sad to hear <TheFocus> is not with us anymore. How old was he? I am asking because I need the source for Croatian Wikipedia. I am proud to say Lasker's article on Croatian Wiki is one of the most thorough ones. |
