Mar-10-12		andrej1tomas: Why Lasker Resign?????

Mar-21-12		andrej1tomas: i see

May-22-12		rjsolcruz: These opening moves were repeated in Tapia vs Ruaya in One Meralco Jr Chess Master Tournament 2012 up to 5.Bg5. http://meralcochess.blogspot.com/20...

May-22-12		Sularus: Lasker was around 65/66 years old while Alekhine was around 42 years old at the time of this game.

May-22-12		King Death: <Sularus> Since this game was played in the summer of 1934 Lasker was 65 and Alekhine was 41.

Jun-04-12		FSR: Baked a Lasker.

Jun-15-12		sevenseaman: Didn't believe it but 'baked' is right. Stylish way to break the castle!

Jun-15-12		RookFile: < Model play rounded off with a nice little combo but I picture Alekhine wishing his first victory over his great predecessor to have been a more epic affair. > You mean the only time he ever beat him.

Jun-15-12		AylerKupp: Inspired pun. Thanks FSR!

Jun-15-12		FSR: Thanks, <AylerKupp>!

Jun-15-12		hellopolgar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baked_... for those who don't get the pun.

Jun-15-12		FSR: <rjsolcruz: These opening moves were repeated in Tapia vs Ruaya in One Meralco Jr Chess Master Tournament 2012 up to 5.Bg5. http://meralcochess.blogspot.com/20>... Not surprising. Those five moves have been played in over 5,000 games in this database alone. Opening Explorer

Jun-15-12		Tiggler: <DrMAL> <24.Rd3! sprung 24...f3? for beautiful 25.Nf5+! Kh8 26.Qh6! that ended game.> You meant 24... f6? of course. Lasker could have fought on after 24... Ndf6 25. e5 Rxd6.

Jun-15-12		vinidivici: nice and good game. Chessgames has a nice interface with good animation. Where can i download the interface like that...?

Jun-15-12		LoveThatJoker: This is a great and classic game! Great selection and pun, <FSR>! LTJ

Jun-15-12		MindCtrol9: Move <17 ...Qb6> I think brought all the problems.Lasker was a player I have allways admired,and he was great.I can say this:Lasker has been an idle to me.I tried to buy a book the other day "Essentials" but it was out of stock.Alexander Alekhine was a player with a great talent and very agressive although he never gave Capablanca the rematch,a shame.These games from the past give to any player the knowledge of chess,how to maneuver the pieces,how to create weak spot to explote later in the game.It's for me the way to play better even I have a program which I never use to comment or play againt anybody (Fritz 13)I use it to analize my mistakes after the game is over because I do not like to cheat.

Jun-15-12		MindCtrol9: <DrMAL> I had the same opinion of you when I saw <17. ...Qb6> which takes away the BQ and giving White the complete iniciative in the game where Alekhine was a good attacker.After one apparently normal move,look what it brought.

Jun-15-12		kevin86: The game looks like a recent puzzle.

Jun-15-12		vinidivici: Where can i get the interface like chessgames?

Jun-15-12		Tiggler: <vinidivici> I suggest you go to the user profile for <Viewer Deluxe> on this site.

Jun-15-12		FSR: <LoveThatJoker: This is a great and classic game! Great selection and pun, <FSR>!> Thanks, <LTJ>. I think this is the only game where I've ever succeeded in coming up with a pun for the "random game" that CG.com offered me. All my other puns have been in games that I've picked myself.

Jun-15-12		LoveThatJoker: <FSR> That's awesome, man! This is obviously a classic - I'm glad you spotted it via the random game feature, took action on it, and that <CG> made it (rightfully so) GOTD! LTJ

Jun-17-12		King Death: <FSR> This <rjsolcruz> is just a spammer, I've run across a bunch of his posts in other places that are as pointless as this one.

Jan-19-13		Check It Out: Nice use of d6 by Alekhine, and of course the finish is great. And another good pun by <FSR>.

Oct-10-14		Sharkmeister77: An extraordinary and beautiful game. Lasker held the world title for 27 years. He did not make a habit of losing miniatures.
