has in mind the manoeuvre Nh1-f2-h3-g5, in conjunction with
Qh5, as a method of assaulting the position of Black's
king. When I first read My System I was so impressed by this
game that I deliberately created situations in my next few
games where the move Ng3-h1 was possible, in the belief that
this mystical retreat would somehow result in a miraculous
increase of energy in my position, irrespective of whatever
else may have been happening on the board at the time.}

{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
bxa6 {After ...b6 White would still maintain his advantage by
19 Qa4 followed by 20 b4.} 19. Rac1 Rc8 20. Nh4 {Forcing
material gain, since White threatens to win the Knight or the
Bishop.} Bb6 21. Nf5 Qe5 22. Bxe4 Qxe4 23. Nd6 Qxe2 24. Nxc8

strong passed pawn which might enable him to save the game so
long as he can avoid the exchange of rooks.} 25. Qd5 Qe6

Qf7 34. Qxf7+ Kxf7 35. Bg5 Nd3 36. Rb1 {Not, of course, Rc2
since Black would win a piece by ...Ne1 followed by ...Nf3+.}
Ke6 37. b3 Kd5 38. f3 a5 39. h4 Nc5 40. h5 d3 {Black is
hopelessly lost since there is no way to stop White from

are worthy of a World Champion.} 1-0
