Oct-13-07  Infohunter: Black just didn't have an answer to that last move of White's. It is to be admitted, though, that he could have delayed the end either with a) 19...Rg8 20.Nf6 Rg7 or b) 19...Ne6 20.Nf6 Ng5, but playing it out a Queen down would have been hopeless, especially against Dr. Lasker.
