 | | RookFile: White might play e5 himself. Black is also asking himself where the bishop on c8 is going to live. I think Capa thought it might go to e6 and then f7. Lasker's 12. f5 was terrific. |

|
| Aug-24-14 | | ljfyffe: That, of course, is "correspondence"; intending ...Ng6. |
|
| Aug-24-14 | | ljfyffe: Typo:should be 11...Rhe8. Attack against the centre pawns has a clearer air about it, does it not?(in reference to "barleycorn" comment). |
|
| Aug-24-14 | | ljfyffe: <foofaraw>Hope our comments are a bit insightful, and air-purifying, now that I realize "John" was answering your inquiry by quoting Capablanca. |
|
| Mar-02-16 | | bengalcat47: <the goodanarchist> There is a variation of chess played on a 10 by 10 board. A new piece called a "prince" is added to the games, and both sides have 2 princes. The prince can move both like a queen and a knight, making it even stronger than the queen. |

Spassky vs Petrosian, 1969 |

Okay I've done that. Now what? |
|
| Dec-29-16 | | Howard: Ditto! What's the point of comparing these two games ? |
|
| Jul-26-17 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: The point, which seems to have been wasted on both of you, is the beautiful move e5! Spassky must have been familiar with this game and actually got to play the move in a world championship match. |
|
| Jul-26-17 | | ughaibu: But Spassky was in the process of winning the world championship and a world champion can be expected to find a pawn sacrifice that opens a square for a knight, without needing a previous example to draw on. In any case, a far more impressive example, that Spassky would certainly be familiar with, is Kholmov vs Bronstein, 1965 |
|
| Jul-27-17 | | sudoplatov: Nimzovich (I think) analyzed this game and pointed out that Lasker's plan works because he can switch between two targets thus limiting Black's defence. I'd also like to note that Lasker didn't generally play "bad" moves as much a moves that created a puzzle for the opponent. Chess is often a reciprocal puzzle battle between the opponents. |

| | WorstPlayerEver: PS it shows what tactical monster Lasker was; except the world champion match the score is 2-2 between Lasker and Capa. |
|
| Mar-12-18 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: Thanks, Ughaibu.
That's a beautiful combination. |

 | | HarryP: I've played this game over many times. It's one of Lasker's most admirable wins. It inspired me years ago to take up the Exchange Ruy, and I played it for some time and had some successes with it. |
|
| Jun-21-19 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: Here's another nice e4-e5 pawn sacrifice:
G Kuzmin vs M Mukhin, 1972 |
|
| Feb-22-20 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: I think 21 ... Ba8 was a bad move and
black should have sacrificed the exchange on e6. Instead, he got a very passive position, with very little space to move, and was reduced to waiting for white to finish him off, which Lasker did expertly. |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | sudoplatov: But the match scores do count. Sans matches, Marshall has a plus score against Tarrasch and Rubinstein. |
|
