 | | offramp: Poor black has to do everything except a belly dance to last even 12 moves. |
|
| Dec-18-15 | | joddon: why would a World Champion like Lasker pull out his Queen like a pure amateur.........SURPRISE THE HECK OUT OF ME. |
|
| Dec-18-15 | | RookFile: It was just a blitz game. Lasker was fooling around. |
|
| Feb-26-16 | | whiteshark: Me thinks, dis not one of Lasker's finest... |

 | | chancho: When you have a head to head record like this, http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... for Lasker getting mated in blitz by Bird was not exactly a blow to his ego. Lasker probably had a nice laugh with Bird after this game. |
|
| Jun-12-16 | | Dhikey: 6.Qg5 was unnecessary.. By Lasker.. He had already had the advantage..6.Nc6 was the best move for black.. |
|
| Sep-25-16 | | kishore4u: Its bird game |
|
| Oct-18-16 | | Aunt Jemima: Bird must have been smiling all night after this one! What an awesome game for him. |

 | | JointheArmy: I wonder if this might look like a Morphy-Lasker blitz game if they ever happened. Morphy was undefeated against Bird, just fyi. ;) |

| | JointheArmy: <Bird also had trouble against the LA Laskers, in the 1980s...> This made me LOL. |
|
| Mar-29-20 | | morfishine: Spectators would flock to Bird's table to watch him play |

 | | GrahamClayton: 7... Qh3 8. Bxf7+ Kd8 9. Rxg7 Ne7 10. Rg3 winning material. |
|
| Nov-13-24 | | Lugia: Crazy game, a world champion being defeated in 12 moves is just insane. |
|

 | | Williebob: Lasker wasn't World Champion yet, and this was a blitz game.
This game appears to have been played sometime during their serious five-game match -- Lasker - Bird (1892) -- which Lasker dominated, winning all five games.
So we can call it some leisurely fun between two chess giants on a day off. |

click for larger viewany interposition would seem a greater concession than moving the king: 8. Nc3 would block the b2-bishop; 8. Bc3 would permit this attacking piece to be traded; 8. Nbd2 Bxd2+ would apparently force 9. Kxd2, which in turn would allow 9...Qxf2+. |

 | | mifralu: < A Pretty "Bon-Bon." When Mr. H. E. Bird visited the Newcastle Club, Mr. E. Lasker happened to be in the North. Our local players took the advantage of entertaining both masters at the County Hotel. After dinner the two distinguished visitors opposed each other in a series of skittles. The play was fast and furious. Some fourteen games were played under two hours. At the conclusion, the president asked Mr. Lasker if his head was aching. "No," he replied, but my arm is."> Source "Newcastle Evening Chronicle, 15 January 1930, p. 10" |
