1. e4 {Notes by L. Gunsberg} e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 {If a
census were taken of the games played with the d6 defence as
against any other defence to the Ruy Lopez, it would be found
that this move has up to the present produced the worst
proportionate results.} 4. Ba4 d6 5. O-O Ne7 6. c3 Bd7 7. d4
Ng6 8. Re1 Be7 9. Nbd2 O-O 10. Nf1 Qe8 {Somehow or other we do
not believe in the manouvre of bringing the White Queen’s
Knight over on to the King’s side; we think too much time is
lost thereby, and it is advisable for Black to adopt an
aggressive policy before White has time to fully develop his
Pieces. Suppose Black played exd4 instead of Qe8, and if 11
cxd4 , then b5 12 Bc2 Nb4 13 Bb3 c5 14 d5 c4 15 Bc2 Nxc2 16
Qxc2 f5. The point is to do something while the Knight is on
f1, and before it can get g3.} 11. Bc2 Kh8 12. Ng3 Bg4 {We do
not see what good can come from this move; anyway it would
have been stronger if exd4 had preceded it.} 13. d5 Nb8 14. h3
Bc8 {The fact that the Bishop ought not to have gone to g4 at
all must now be clear.Bxf3 would not have been an improvement,
as that would bring White’s Queen into play.} 15. Nf5 Bd8
16. g4 Ne7 17. Ng3 Ng8 {Black has now completed his strategic
movement towards the rear. If this is good strategy, then the
modern theory of development must be all wrong. One fact,
however, must be borne in mind. Black, having all his Pieces
concentrated on his base, is certainly less assailable, and
should White rashly advance against that formation, Black
might probably be able to break up the White line with
advantage to himself.} 18. Kg2 {Considering that Black’s only
hope lies in an advance of the King’s Bishop’s Pawn, we should
have preferred to play Kh2, so as to be able to occupy the
King’s Knight’s file with the Rook, which would effectually
prevent f5 at any future time. And, after developing his
Rooks, White could take his own time about cautiously turning
on the pressure.} Nd7 19. Be3 Nb6 20. b3 Bd7 21. c4 Nc8 {There
seems little prospect of Black being able to harass White by a
flank attack on the Queen’s side. Yet it is the only way at
present that promises some relief.} 22. Qd2 Nce7 23. c5 g6
24. Qc3 f5 {It was pointed out by Mr. Steinitz that he would
have done much better if he had played h6 first. In this we
perfectly agree with him, as it would have given the King some
elbow room, and would, therefore, have made the impending
sacrifice less profitable, which by-theby must have stared
Black in the face in rather an obvious manner.} 25. Nxe5 dxe5
26. Qxe5+ Nf6 27. Bd4 {White’s play is extremely
interesting. If he had simply contented himself with 27 g5,
Black might have replied in several ways: i.e. Nxd5 28 Bd4 Nb4
29 Bb1 Kg8 30 gxf6 Bxf6 31 Qxd8 Raxd8, etc. Though these moves
may be varied, we still think this line would have been
profitable for Black.} fxg4 {Kg8 would not have released the
Knight, as White would, nevertheless, have played g5, and the
Knight could not move. f4 also looks an enticing move, but
then White would have replied with 28. g5, and Black could not
take the Knight.} 28. hxg4 Bxg4 { This was a deceptive
move. It seemed no doubt advantageous to get rid of this
Knight’s Pawn, but it did not result favourably.} 29. Qg5 Qd7
30. Bxf6+ Kg8 31. Bd1 Bh3+ 32. Kg1 Nxd5 {Black played the
following moves with desperate ingenuity. The move of Rxf6
does not promise much, nor is h6 any better, except that it
would allow Black to play Kh7 on the following move, which
would give him more liberty of action.} 33. Bxd8 Nf4 34. Bf6
Qd2 35. Re2 {Though this is the only move on the board, yet it
answers all practical purposes of defence.} Nxe2+ 36. Bxe2 Qd7
37. Rd1 Qf7 {Black having failed in his counter-attack, there
is Iitth left for him to do. If he had played Qe8 or Qc6 it
would not have made much difference in the position.} 38. Bc4
Be6 39. e5 Bxc4 40. Nf5 {A neat finish to a brilliantly played
game.} 1-0

40.h4 Kg4 41.Kf6 c4 42.bxc4 bxc4 43.Ke5 c3 44.bxc3 a4 45.Kd4

the h-pawn and White's King thereby wins space and time. It is
as though, in the variation just given, White had not moved to
f6, but in one move, at once to f5. From there he can easily
hold up the a-pawn, since his journey does not lead him over
e5 and d4, but over e4 and d3, where his own pawn is not in
the way. Now Black must still make exertions to save the

unorthodox opening, Black is rather cramped.} 9.Ng5 {Marshall
starts a violent attack which would seem to be perfectly
justified. Yet in the midst of it, just as if Lasker had
exercised a spell on him, he falters, and all f a sudden it is
the World Champion who has the winning advantage.} g6 10.f4

development by Bd2 and Rae1 without the slightest risk, but
now he throws caution to the wind. What with e5 being mainly
defended by the d-pawn, Black will try to eliminate the
defending Pawn by ...c5 and if he can do that and get his own
Kt to e5 before White's attack has prospered, he will be on
top.} Ng4 13.Nf3 c5 14.fxg6 fxg6 15.h3 {? Very feebly played
and almost inexplicable except for Lasker's queer knack of
'willing' his opponents to make weak moves. Against any other

{Usually in this variation, what with the White Kt on c3, this
move wins a tempo which makes all the difference and gives
Black the superior position. Here, however, the move loses an
important tempo which should have better been used for
development.} 10. Nb3 Bb6 11. Qd3 {! Lasker now refutes the
ill- considered pawn-push very shrewdly. Since his pawn would
get lost by Rd1, Black must go in for an unfavourable
exchange.} Be6 12. Rd1 Bxb3 13. Qxb3 {Here, as will soon be
evident, the White Queen is excellently placed.} Qe7 {So as to
dodge the attack of the e-pawn. Black's position now looks
reasonably good, but he is a tempo behind in develop men and
that makes all the difference.} 14. Bd2 O-O 15. a4 {A very
subtle move, the force of which Black fails to recognise. The
pawn is to push on to a6 so as to loosen the position of the
Black pieces, particularly the Queen Knight. Naturally Black
must not take the e-pawn since 16 Re1 Qa6 17 Bf1 would cost
him the Queen.} Ne4 {It would have been best to stop the
further advance of the pawn by either ...Bc5 or a6 but White
would have had the better game in any case; Black's position,
though, may still have been tenable, whereas now it breaks
down very quickly.} 16. Be1 Rad8 {? Rac8!} 17. a5 Bc5 18. a6
