Aug-15-05  Knight13: After 28.Qf8+ White at least have a draw. But the win is better. Marshall must've had a miscalculation. 27. Qb4! is good.

  Phony Benoni: The error on White's 29th move:

May have come fro the American Chess Bulletin (1942, p. 8). There the move is given as 39.R-Q3 (39.Rd3), which is obviously ridiculous. ChessBase (and hence our score) have changed ths to 29.Rd4.

However, Lasker himself, writing notes to the game in ACB, states:

<"If RxR, QhR8ch wins the Queen. But the text move leads to mazte.">

That makes it clear the move was <39.Rd6+>, as given n "Chess Secrets."

With the rook on d6 instead of d4:

There is no mate in two at the end; instead, Lasker's 31.Rd5+ is the quickest way to mate.

We'll see if we can straighten this out.
