  chancho: This game is one of a few selected by Lasker as an example of how a master conceives a plan in his classic book: Lasker's Manual Of Chess. A fine game btw.
Jan-31-09  brazil chess: I have the feeling Lasker didn't like Spielmann very much...
Jun-20-19  zydeco: 26.Qh1 is pretty. It's rare that a retreating move like that is so integral to a decisive attack.
Sep-06-20  sea7kenp: <brazil chess>, it doesn't look that way, does it?
