Sep-03-03  AgentRgent: Trading the Queen for the bishop pair proves insufficient. Yet another poor game for the Dr. in the Falkbeer.
Mar-05-12  TheFocus: This game was actually won by Frank Lynn's wife.

A few weeks later, she won the following game. This game is not in <CG>'s database, nor in Kenneth Whyld's book <The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker>.

As I have not seen this game anywhere else, I will claim it as my first Unknown Lasker game discovery.

What's the source for the score? I've seen reference to the game, but the score eludes me.

I told Edward Winter the source. That's as far as I go.

You could just wait for my book on Lasker. Be patient. All things come to those who wait.

Dec-20-15  TheFocus: Of course, now the score no longer eludes you.

Maybe Winter will put it in his next book?
