Notes by R. Teichmann.

1. 11…Nxc5 Instead of this move, which leaves the Queen's Pawn isolated, I prefer PxP. The two Pawns can in this variation be sufficiently supported, and will form the basis of a counter-attack on the Queen's side.
2. 14…Kh8 This is certainly a weakening move, but the position is very delicate and Black is at a loss what to do.
3. 16.Qf3 Threatening now Q to R 3, followed by Kt x B P.
4. 21…Nxf4 This exchange is ill-judged and causes serious trouble. It would have been better to retire the Knight to B sq, where it would support K R 2, and then to try a counter-attack on the Queen's side, where his Rooks are in commanding positions.
5. 22…g5 And this premature advance compromises his King's side irretrievably. An attack on the King's side is, on the face of it, without prospect.
6. 24…f5 Creating another weakness. One of these two weak Pawns (Q 4 and K B 4) must fall in a few moves.
7. 28.Qd2 Very subtle. The Queen is excellently posted here, and the Rook can now take possession of the important Queen's Bishop's file. (See diagram.)
8. 30.h4 This powerful move leaves Black defenceless. The whole game was very well played by Mr. Lasker, and it is a good specimen of this variation of the Queen’s Gambit, in which White maintains an advantage throughout by combining a direct attack on the King with a continuous pressure on the weak isolated Queen’s Pawn.
