  fredthebear: I'm not sure Stockfish would agree with Lasker's comments, but that would likely apply to most games.

St. Petersburg 1909: https://www.bing.com/images/search?...

St. Petersburg 1909 is one of the great chess tournaments in history. Lasker tied with Rubinstein for first place; it was thought that Rubinstein would become his next challenger for the title. Lasker authored the original tournament book.

Duras finished higher than Vidmar in the tournament, but Vidmar was superior in their careers.
