1.d4 {Notes by Dr. Emanuel Lasker, Carl Schlechter and Leopold
Hoffer. *** Lasker: A game that in no way distinguishes itself
in the opening, novel though the course pursued by the two
brilliant masters may be, it is void of interest until the
endgame stage is reached. Then a position full of of varied
combinations is arrived at. A draw should, nevertheless, have
resulted. The first player concludes by a blunder, but his
game was hopeless then.} d5 2.Bf4 e6 3.e3 Bd6 4.Bg3 Nf6 5.Nd2
Bxg3 6.hxg3 Qe7 7.f4 {Lasker: To prevent 7...e5 which, in view
of the weakness of White on the black squares, would have
allowed Black a dominating sphere of action.} Ne4 {Lasker:
Hardly advancing his cause. 7...c5 at once would have yielded
a quicker development. *** Schlechter: Here 7...b6!? deserves
attention.} 8.Nxe4 dxe4 9.Qd2 Nd7 10.g4 Nb6 11.Be2 Bd7 12.Nh3
f6 13.Nf2 Bc6 14.c4 O-O-O 15.O-O-O h6 16.Qc2 f5 17.Qc3
{Hoffer: After 17.g3! White is better.} Kb8 18.gxf5 exf5 19.g4
Bd7 20.Rdg1 g5 21.Nh3 {Lasker: 21.fxg5 first would have
avoided the ensuing complication. The exchange of both pawns
on the kingside, though opening the rook file for Black, would
have resulted to the advantage of White, inasmuch as the extra
pawn on the queenside should be at greater value than the
isolated pawn of Black, all other things being equal. ***
Schlechter: Much better is 21.fxg5 hxg5 22.gxf5 with
advantage.} fxg4 22.Bxg4 Bxg4 23.Rxg4 Qe6 24.Rhg1 Qxc4 25.Qxc4
Nxc4 26.fxg5 hxg5 27.R4g3 {? Lasker: More natural is 27.Nxg5
Nxe3 28.Rxe4 Rhe8 which would have readily led to a draw. ***
Hoffer: Perhaps White should try 27.R1g3!?} g4 28.Nf2 Rh2
29.Nd1 {? Schlechter: Better is 29.Nxg4! Rxb2 30.Ne5 Rb4
31.Rg8 Rc8 32.Nxc4 Rxc4 33.Kb2.} c5 {! Lasker: Charming an
attack out of nothing. 30.dxc5 would now, of course, be bad,
as Black would then double his rooks on the 2nd rank, and at
the very least recoup himself.} 30.R3g2 {Schlechter and
Lasker: This loses a pawn and the game. But, 30.Rxg4 cxd4
31.Rxe4 is met by the elegant move 31...Rc8! whereupon 32.Rxd4
Na3+ 33.Nc3 Rc2+ 34.Kd1 Rxb2 35.Ne2 Rcc2 will ultimately win.}

opinion that Black, although two Pawns ahead, will not be able
