Game No. 102 in the book (round 11): a Ruy Lopez won by Emanuel Lasker (White) against Milan Vidmar, annotated by Lasker himself.
6…g6A new attempt to shorten the manoeuvre, B - K 2 - K B 1; P - K Kt 3 and B - Kt 2, by the two apparently useless moves. But now White takes up a totally different formation, and takes advantage of the weakness of Black's K B 3 and K R 3 in a more decisive way than would be possible in the line of play mentioned.
8…Nf6If 8) .... K Kt - K 2, the White K R P advances at once to R 4 and R 5.
13…Nc4Apparently Black obtains a lively and most promising attack by attacking the Knights by P - B 4, followed by P - B 5, P - Kt 5 and P - B 6; that is not so, however; the Pawns would fall on their way. If 13) .... P - B 4; 14) B x B; and after 14) .... P x Kt; 15) B x Kt now P x Kt would lose on account of Q x Q P. On the other hand, after 14) .... K x B; 15) Kt - Kt 3, Black's Pawns are feeble; for 15) .... P - B 5 or 15) .... P - Kt 5 would be met by Q x Q P, and against 15) .... Kt - B 5; 16) Q - B 4 would be sufficient, threatening B x Kt, followed by Kt - Q 2, and also P - K Kt 4 and P - R 5.
15…c615) .... Kt x R P; 16) B x B, K x B; 17) P - K Kt 4, Kt - B 3; 18) Q - R 6 ch, K - Kt 1; 19) Kt - Q 5, or, stronger still, 19) P - Kt 5, Kt - R 4; 20) Kt - Q 5 and R x Kt.
24.Rd6R x R was threatened, followed by R x P ch, and also R x R, R x R, P - K 5, R - K 3; Kt - B 4.
