I looked at the one you linked, it was about Magnus and why he is so good. I am afraid I do mot follow tge side conversations well, but I do a lot better than I did 10 years ago.
@sonhousesaid Looks like R-f6+ forking king and that rook after that move. Knight on F6 is protected now that black rook is moved, by the bishop on C3.
Max Euwe (White) vs. Em. Lasker (Black), Zurich 1934. Euwe was three years away from winning the WC from Alekhine, Lasker was 13 years past his loss to Capa but still formidable.

This game is so strategically thematic, and Lasker's play with rooks and knights at the end so flowing, that I feel like I get better at chess just by hitting the play button and watching the moves.
Each move is like a single note- just a sound by itself, but part of a symphony when played together.
Yes, Lasker's handling of a four-piece attack against a three-piece defence is simply dazzling. The manner in which he systematically peels away the White king's defences, and then brings the rooks into position to set up a mating net is most instructive. He could not possibly have calculated all that in advance when he sacked the queen. All the more tribute to his positional judgment.
