Nd5 11.Bxe7 Rxe7 12.O-O Nf8 13.Rfd1 Bd7 {I do not consider the
system adopted by Dr. Lasker in this game to be any good.}
14.e4 Nb6 {...Nxc3 would have simplified matters somewhat, but
it would have left Black in avery awkward position. The text
move, by driving back the bishop, gains time for the defense.}
15.Bf1 Rc8 16.b4 {To prevent c5, either now or a later
stage. There is no Black bishop and White’s whole plan is
based on that fact. He will attempt, in due time, to place a
knight on d6.} Be8 17.Qb3 {White might have played a4 at once,
but wanted at first to prevent the Black Queen from coming out
via d6 an f4.} Rec7 18.a4 Ng6 19.a5 Nd7 20.e5 b6 21.Ne4 Rb8
22.Qc3 {Qa3 at once was best. The text move gives Black a
chance to gain time.} Nf4 23.Nd6 Nd5 {Had the White Queen been
at a3 Black could not have gained this very important tempo.}
24.Qa3 f6 25.Nxe8 {This Bishop had to be taken, since it
threatened to go to h5, pinning the Knight.} Qxe8 26.exf6 gxf6
{To retake with either Knight would have left the e Pawn
extremely weak.} 27.b5 {With this move White gets rid of his
Queen's side Pawns.} Rbc8 28.bxc6 Rxc6 29.Rxc6 Rxc6 30.axb6
axb6 31.Re1 {Bb5 was better.} Qc8 32.Nd2 {This was my sealed
move and unquestionably the only move to keep the initiative.}
Nf8 {...Rc3 would have been met by Qa1.} 33.Ne4 {The White
Knight stands now in a very commanding position. Black's game
is far more difficult than appears at first glance and I
believe that the only good system of defense would have to be
based on ...f5, after ...h6, driving back the White Knight.}
Qd8 34.h4 Rc7 {This might be said to be the losing move. Black
had to play ...h6 in order to be ready to continue with ...f5,
forcing the White Knight to withdraw.} 35.Qb3 {White's plan
consists in getting rid of Black's powerfully posted Knight at
d5, which is the key to Black's defense.} Rg7 36.g3 Ra7 37.Bc4
Ra5 38.Nc3 Nxc3 39.Qxc3 Kf7 40.Qe3 Qd6 41.Qe4 Ra4 {Neither one
of us had very much time left at this stage of the
game. Black's alternative was ...Ra7, which would have been
met by d5, leaving Black with what in my opinion is a lost
position.} 42.Qb7+ Kg6 {If 42...Qe7 43.Qc6 wins.} 43.Qc8 Qb4
44.Rc1 Qe7 {Black's game was now hopeless; for instance
44...Qa3 (best) 45.Bd3+! f5 (best) 46.Qe8+ Kh6 47.Re1 Ra8
48.Rxe6+ Nxe6 49.Qxe6+ Kg7 50.Qe5+, etc. In practically all
the other variations the check with the Bishop at d3 wins.}
45.Bd3+ Kh6 {..f5 would have prolonged the game a few moves
only. 46.Rc7 would always win.} 46.Rc7 Ra1+ 47.Kg2 Qd6
48.Qxf8+ 1-0

{Considered up to now the best answer for Black, but I believe
to have had the pleasure of finding over the board in this
game the one way to knock it out.} 10.Qc6 Rb8 11.Nxd5 Bb7
12.Nxe7+ Qxe7 13.Qa4 Rbc8 14.Qa3 {This move might be said to
be the key of White's whole plan. The main point was to be
able to play Ba6.} Qe6 15.Bxf6 {This exchange had to be made
before putting the plan into execution.} Qxf6 16.Ba6 Bxf3
{Dr. Lasker thought for over half an hour before deciding on
this continuation. It is not only the best, but it shows at
the same time the fine hand of the master. An ordinary player
would never have thought of giving up the exchange in order to
keep the initiative in this position, which was really the
only reasonable way in which he could hope to draw the game.}
17.Bxc8 Rxc8 18.gxf3 Qxf3 19.Rg1 Re8 20.Qd3 g6 21.Kf1 {The
play here was extremely difficult. I probably did not find the
best system of defense. I can not yet tell which was the best
defense here, but it is my believe that with the best play
White should win.} Re4 22.Qd1 Qh3+ 23.Rg2 Nf6 24.Kg1 cxd4
25.Rc4 {The move with which I counted upon to check Black’s
attack.} dxe3 26.Rxe4 Nxe4 27.Qd8+ Kg7 28.Qd4+ Nf6 29.fxe3 Qe6
30.Rf2 g5 31.h4 gxh4 {This was Lasker's sealed move. It was
not the best. His chance to draw was to play Kg6.Any other
continuation should lose.} 32.Qxh4 Ng4 33.Qg5+ Kf8 34.Rf5 {Not
the best. Rd2 would have won. The text move gives Black a
chance to draw the game.} h5 35.Qd8+ Kg7 36.Qg5+ Kf8 37.Qd8+

43.Qf3 Qd4 44.Qa8+ {Not the best.Kh1 offered better chances of
success.} Ke7 45.Qb7+ Kf8 {A blunder, which loses what would
otherwise have been a drawn game. It will be noticed that it
was Dr. Lasker's forty-fifth move. He had very little time to
think and, furthermore, by his own admission, he entirely
misjudged the value of the position, believing that he had
chances of winning, when, in fact, all he could hope for was a
draw.} 46.Qb8+ 1-0

O-O 11.Rae1 h6 12.Bh4 Nh7 13.Bxe7 Qxe7 14.Nd5 Qd8 15.c4 {White
has now a powerful position and Black has to play with extreme
care in order to avoid drifting into a hopeless position.} Re8
16.f4 c6 {This weakens the queen's pawn, but something had to
be done to obtain manouvering space for the White
pieces. Besides, with the advance of the f-Pawn, White's
king's pawn becomes also weak, which is somewhat of a
compensation.} 17.Nc3 Qb6 18.b3 Rad8 {Unnecessary. Re7 was the
proper move.} 19.Kh1 Nf6 20.h3 Bc8 21.Rd1 {This is waste of
time. In order to obain an advantage, White will have to make
an attack on the king's side, since Black's queen's pawn,
though weak, cannot be won through a direct attack against
it.} Re7 22.Rfe1 Rde8 23.Re2 Qa5 24.Rf1 Qh5 25.Kg1 a6 26.Rff2
Qg6 27.Rf3 {If 27.Nf5 Bxf5 28.exf5 Qh5 29.Rxe7 Rxe7 and Black
has a good game.} Qh5 28.f5 {Of doutbful value. While it shuts
off the bishop, it weakens furthermore the king's pawn and
also creates a hole on e5 for Black's pieces. The position at
first glance, looks very much in favor of White, but careful
analysis will show that is much more apparent than true.} Qh4
29.Kh2 {A blunder, made under time pressure combined with
difficulties attached to the position.} Ng4+ 30.Kh1 Ne5 31.Qd2
Nxf3 32.Nxf3 Qf6 {Qg3 was dangerous and might lead to the loss
of some material} 33.a4 {To prevent b5. There are a number of
variations where White would regain the quality in exchange
for a pawn had he played 33. g4, to be followed by e5 and
Ne4,but the resulting ending would be so much in favor of
Black that the course pursued by White may be considered the
best.} g6 34.fxg6 fxg6 35.Re3 Bf5 36.Qd3 {There were some very
interesting variations beginning with 36.Rd3, viz.,36...Bxe4
37.Rxd6 Qg7 38.Nh4 Bf5 39.Nxf5 gxf5 40.Rxh6 Re1+ 41.Kh2 Qe5+
42.g3 Qxc3, and White is lost.} g5 37.Nd2 Bg6 38.b4 {White's
idea is to change as many pawns as possible, hoping to reach
an ending where the advantage of the exchange may not be
sufficient to win.} Qe6 39.b5 axb5 40.axb5 Ra8 41.Qb1 Qe5
42.Qe1 Kh7 43.bxc6 bxc6 44.Qg3 Qxg3 45.Rxg3 Ra3 46.Kh2 Rb7
47.c5 {Forced, as Rb2, winning a piece, was threatened.} dxc5
48.Nc4 Ra1 49.Ne5 Rc1 {The moves of this rook are worth
studying. I believe that Black had no better way to play.}
50.h4 {This brings the game to a climax, for which Black is
now ready.} Re7 51.Nxc6 Re6 52.Nd8 gxh4 53.Rd3 Rf6 {The key to
Black's defence. The holding of the KB file.} 54.Rd7+ Kh8

cxd4 11.exd4 dxc4 12.Bxc4 Nb6 13.Bb3 Bd7 14.O-O {The
development is now complete. White has a lone d Pawn, but, on
the otherhand, Black is somewhat hampered in the manoeuvering
of his pieces.} Rac8 15.Ne5 Bb5 {With this move and the
following, Black brings about an exchange of pieces, which
leaves him with a free game.} 16.Rfe1 Nbd5 17.Bxd5 Nxd5
18.Bxe7 Nxe7 19.Qb3 Bc6 {Not Ba6 because of Nd7, followed by
Nc5.} 20.Nxc6 bxc6 21.Re5 Qb6 22.Qc2 Rfd8 23.Ne2 {Probably
White's first mistake. He wants to take a good defensive
position, but he should instead have counter-attacked with Na4
and Rc5.} Rd5 24.Rxd5 cxd5 {Black has now the open file and
his left side Pawn position is very solid, while White has a
weak d-Pawn. The apparently weak Black a Pawn is not actually
weak because White has no way to attack it.} 25.Qd2 Nf5 26.b3
{In order to free the Queen from the defense of the b-Pawn and
also to prevent Rc4 at any stage.} h5 { In order to prevent g4
at a later stage. Also to make a demonstration on the king’s
side, prepatory to further operations on the other side.}
27.h3 {Weak, but White wants to be ready to play g4.} h4 {To
tie up White's King side. Later on it will be seen that White
is compelled to play g4 and thus further weaken his game.}
28.Qd3 Rc6 29.Kf1 g6 30.Qb1 Qb4 31.Kg1 {This was White's
sealed move. It was not the best move, but it is doubtful if
White has any good system of defense.} a5 32.Qb2 a4 {Now Black
exchanges the pawn and leaves White with a weak, isolated
b-Pawn, which will fall sooner or later.} 33.Qd2 Qxd2 34.Rxd2
axb3 35.axb3 Rb6 {In order to force Rd3 and thus prevent the
White rook from supporting his b-Pawn by Rb2 later on. It
means practically tying up the White rook to the defense of
his two weak pawns. } 36.Rd3 Ra6 37.g4 hxg3 38.fxg3 Ra2 39.Nc3
Rc2 40.Nd1 {The alternative Na4, was not any better. White’s
game is doomed. } Ne7 41.Nc3 Rc1+ 42.Kf2 Nc6 43.Nd1 Rb1 {Not
Nb4 because of 44. Rd2 Rb1 45. Nb2 Rxb2 46.Rxb2 Nd3+ 47.Ke2
Nxb2 48.Kd2, and Black could not win. } 44.Ke2 {Not a mistake,
but played deliberately. White had no way to protect his
b-Pawn.} Rxb3 45.Ke3 Rb4 46.Nc3 Ne7 47.Ne2 Nf5+ 48.Kf2 g5

64.Re3 e5 {This was my sealed move and unquestionably the best
way to win.} 65.Rd3 {If 65.Ne2 Nd2+ 66.Kf2 e4 67.Rc3 Nf3
68.Ke3 Ne1 69.Kf2 Ng2. and White would be helpless. If 65.Nf3
Nd2+ exchanging knights wins.} exd4 66.Rxd4 Kc5 67.Rd1 d4
68.Rc1+ Kd5 {There is nothing left. The Black pawn will
advance and White will have to give up his Knight for it. This
is the finest win of the match and probably took away from
Dr. Lasker his last real hope of winning or drawing the
match.} 0-1

1. d4 {Notes by Capablanca} Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Qc2 d5
5. cxd5 exd5 6. Bg5 Qd6 {To unpin the Knight. To go back with
6... Be7 would be a regular variation of the Queen's Gambit
with Black a move behind. To play 6... h6 7. Bh4 7...g5 would
be too risky.} 7. e3 Ne4 8. Bf4 Qg6 {The alternatives would be
8... Qe7 or 8...Qc6. The other Queen moves are much less
satisfactory. It should be noticed that in the eight moves
played so far, Black has moved his Queen twice and his King's
Knight twice also. In a closed position such things are often
possible and good, but in a rather open position they can very
seldom be done without getting into trouble.} 9. a3 {Black
threatened 9...Nxc3. The text move forces Black to exchange
the Bishop for the Knight, thereby not only releasing the
pressure against the Queen's Knight and the King, but also
strengthening White's position.} 9...Bxc3+ 10. bxc3 Bf5 {This
involves the loss of a pawn, but Black had very little
choice. The only way to avoid immediate loss would be to play
10...Qc6, another Queen move in ten. 10...c6 was not feasible
because of 11. f3 Nf6 12. Bd3 Qh5 13. h4 and Black cannot stop
14.g4 winning a piece.} 11. Qb3 O-O {Black plays for
attack. He is slightly ahead in development and now offers a
pawn in order to gain more time.} 12. f3 {Should White play
12. Qxb7 12...Nc6 would give Black such an advantage in
development that it would be impossible for White to avoid
serious loss. White, however, could have played 12. Qxd5 and
obtained the better game thus: 12...Nxc3 13. Qb3 Ne4 14. Nf3
Qb6 [best; if 14...Nc6 15. Rc1 Nd6 16. Ne5 Nxe5 17. dxe5 with
a winning position] 15. Qxb6 axb6 16. Bd3 with what should be
a winning position. White could also play 12. Nf3 and obtain a
winning game since Black's best answer would be 12...Qb6 and
then would follow 13. Qxb6 cxb6 14. c4. Instead of adopting
the simple course White went in for complications: a policy
not to be advised when there is a simple continuation in sight
offering a definite advantage.} 12...Nd6 13. g4 Bd3 {Black
insists in playing an attack at all costs: a wrong policy in a
case like this where the number of pieces for the attack is
inferior to the number of pieces for the defense. Black could
succeed only if he were able to throw into the fray the
balance of his pieces before White could bring his to the
defense. Since that is not the case he is bound to suffer the
consequences. He should have played 13...Be6 when White would
probably have played 14.Rd1 in order to start an attack
against Black's King through Bd3. The continuation 14. Bxd6
cxd6 15. Qxb7 15...Nd7 would give White a very doubtful game.}
14. Qxd5 Bxf1 15. Kxf1 Qd3+ 16. Ne2 Nc4 17. Kf2 17...Nxe3 {! A
very clever sacrifice.} 18. Qxb7 { White cannot take 18. Bxe3
because of 18...Re8 which would regain the piece for Black
with a good game. But unfortunately for Black he has not
enough force for the attack. All he is attacking with is a
Queen and a Knight, and the only other piece he can throw
immediately into the battle is the King's Rook. Against that
White has all his pieces ready to go to the defense of his
King. Under such conditions, unless the position is of a very
unusual nature, the attack cannot succeed.} 18...Na6 19. Qb1
19...Qxb1 {Black had to exchange Queens to avoid the loss of
the Knight. As a result White comes out a pawn ahead with a
good game, advantage enough to win with proper play.}
20. Raxb1 Nc4 21. a4 Rab8 22. Rb5 Rb6 23. Rhb1 Re8 24. Ng3 Rf6
25. Rf5 {White wants to keep his Bishop at f4 where it
controls the moves of the two Black Knights. At the same time
he wants to place his Knight at e4 in order to block any
possible entrance of the Rook at e8 into White's position. The
Knight at e4 would be in a very strong central position. It is
true that as a result of this maneuver Black will be able to
reunite his Queenside pawns and also White's pieces will be
crowding one another a little, but as White's ultimate
intention is to advance on the Kingside, the overcrowding of
White's pieces will not become too serious a fault. The
alternatives would be either 25.Nf5 or 25. Bc1 [threatening
26.Ne4]. The first move would prevent the placing of the
Knight at e4. The second move would remove the Bishop from the
one square where he controls most of the moves of both the
Black Knights. The course of the game vindicated White's
judgment in playing the text move.} 25...Rb6 26. Rxb6 axb6
27. Ne4 f6 28. h4 c6 29. h5 Kf7 {Black could not play 29...h6
because of 30. Bxh6.} 30. Bc1 {? A bad move. White should have
gone on with his original plan, which would have won without
much trouble thus: 30. h6 30...Rxe4 31. fxe4 g6 32. Rb5 cxb5
33. axb5 and White would regain the piece with a won
position. White made the text move forgetting that it released
the Knight at a6.} 30...Re6 {A blunder due to time
pressure. The game was being played at the rate of 32 moves in
two hours. Black was short of time and probably tired from the
ordeal. Incidentally it has been assumed by all annotators
that Black could now easily draw by playing 30...Nc7. They
have stated that White could not play 31. a5 because of
31...Nd5, threatening to win the Rook by 32...g6. The
assertion is entirely wrong. Not only can White play 31.a5 but
it is the best move, and the one move that gives White the
best winning chances. The position is so interesting that it
will repay study. Suppose 32. axb6 g6 33. Rf4 Rb8 [ Let us go
back again. If 33...Re7 34. Ng5+ followed by 35.Re4 with
winning chances. Black's best chance for a draw is to play
33...Nxf4 34. Bxf4 Nxb6 35. Nd6+ Ke7 36. Nxe8 Kxe8 37. Ke2 and
while it would be hard to prove a win, White would have
chances for victory. ] 34. Nxf6 Nxf4 35. Bxf4 Rxb6 36. Nxh7
and with three pawns for the Exchange White has an excellent
chance to win.} 31. Ng5+ 1-0

1. e4 {Notes by Capablanca.} e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bc4
{The normal move, 4. Bb5, is stronger. Nimzowitsch must have
had some new idea in mind when he chose this line in
preference to the other which he generally adopts.} 4...Bc5
{If 4... Bb4 5. Nd5 gives White an excellent game.} 5. d3 d6
6. Bg5 Be6 {With the idea of driving the Queen's Bishop back
at the proper time by ...h6 and ...g5, and thus bringing the
game to a position full of complications and unknown
possibilities where Black hoped to outplay his adversary.}
7. Bb5 h6 8. Bh4 Bb4 {To prepare against d3-d4, after or
before Bxc6 which was the intention indicated by White's
7.Bb5.} 9. d4 Bd7 10. O-O Bxc3 11. bxc3 g5 {There were a dozen
select spectators around our table, one of them Nimzowitsch's
father, a fairly good player, and they looked at one another
when they saw the bold course I was pursuing, reckless on my
part, they thought, and bound to bring disaster, especially
after my next move 12...Nxe4, when I had not castled and my
King was in the center of the board.} 12. Bg3 Nxe4 13. Bxc6
{Not the best way to continue the attack, as by exchanging
pieces the Black King will not be submitted to the strong
attack that would be necessary to compensate for the material
advantage obtained by Black and the disarrangement of White's
Queenside pawns. 13. Qd3 was the best move to keep up the
pressure.} 13...Bxc6 14. dxe5 dxe5 15. Bxe5 {Some people have
suggested 15. Nxe5. It has its good and bad points, but at all
events Black will come out with the better game in any
variation.} 15...Qxd1 16. Raxd1 16... f6 $1 {The key to my
maneuver in this variation. I had counted on it, together with
17...Kf7, when I played 11...g5.} 17. Bd4 {17. Bxc7 would
leave the c-file open for the Black Rooks to act against
White's c-pawns. My opponent must have thought that on account
of the Bishops of opposite colors he had a safe game.}
17... Kf7 {Now the Black King is much more useful than
White's.} 18. Nd2 18... Rhe8 {Notwithstanding the Bishops of
opposite colors I did not hesitate to exchange. Those who wish
to learn should do well in carefully studying this game. It is
one of the finest endings I ever played, and I have had very
often the great pleasure of hearing my opponent pay tribute to
the skill displayed by me in winning it.} 19. f3 Nxd2 20. Rxd2
Rad8 21. g4 Bb5 22. Rb1 Ba6 23. Rbd1 {Not 23. Kf2 because of
23...c5! 24. Be3 Rxd2+ 25. Bxd2 25... Re2+, winning a piece.}
23... Re2 $1 {Still exchanging.} 24. Rxe2 Bxe2 25. Re1 Bxf3
26. Rf1 26. c5 $1 {The move that gives Black the advantage.}
27. Bxf6 {If now 27. Rxf3 cxd4 28. Rd3 Rc8 and for all
practical purposes Black is a pawn ahead. My opponent chose
the other line of play in order to keep Bishops of opposite
colors, which he thought should give him a draw.} 27...Rd1
28. Be5 Rxf1+ 29. Kxf1 29... Bxg4 {The ending is now won by
force. Several months after the game was played, when
Nimzowitsch had come to St. Petersburg to play in the
All-Russian Masters Tournament, he told me that he had studied
the game and thought that he had finally found a way to draw
this ending. Although I had not seen the game since it was
played I offered to make him a small sporting bet, giving him
odds of a draw in any position from now on. The offer was
immediately accepted and we sat down. In a few moves he saw
that his idea was wrong and gave up the game.} 30. a4 Ke6
31. Bb8 {It would seem that had White played 31. Bg7 and then
followed with a4-a5, he could have drawn; but such is not the
case, as 31...h5 32. a5 a6 would also have won, though taking
much longer.} 31...a5 $1 32. Ke1 {White cannot attack the pawn
by 32. Bc7 as 32...b5! wins.} 32...Kd5 33. Kd2 Bd7 34. Bc7 Kc6
35. Bd8 {White cannot take the pawn with 35. Bxa5 because of
35...b6} 35... b6 36. c4 Kb7 37. Kc3 Bxa4 38. Kb2 Bd7 39. Kb3
Be6 40. Kc3 a4 41. Kd3 Kc6 42. Kc3 g4 43. Bh4 h5 44. Bg3 a3
45. Kb3 Bxc4+ $1 {If White now plays 46.Kxc4 then 46... a2
47. Be5 h4 48. Kb3 g3 49. hxg3 49... h3! and wins, as one of
the two Rook's pawns will Queen.} 46. Kxa3 b5 47. c3 Kd5
48. Bf2 Be2 {In order to make room for the King at c4.}
49. Kb3 Bd1+ 50. Kb2 Kc4 51. Kc1 Bf3 52. Kd2 b4 53. cxb4 cxb4
54. Bh4 Be4 55. Bf6 Bg6 56. Bh4 b3 57. Bf6 h4 58. Ke3 g3
59. hxg3 h3 60. Kf2 Bf5 {So as to prevent the advance of
White's single pawn. Now the Black King marches down to the
support of the b-pawn and wins the Bishop, and then comes back
and forces the other pawn to the eighth rank winning.} 61. g4
Bxg4 62. Kg3 Kd3 63. Kh2 Kc2 64. Kg3 b2 {White resigns.} 0-1
