I think that's it! I overestimated the number of forced moves/checks, but I think the Lasker-Thomas game is it. Thanks very much; you know how frustrating it can be to know about something but to be unable to find it. Thank you to Furling and BigDogProblem.

Mate in 11. The best part though is that Steinitz set this up, and walked out of the room. Upon returning he found a note from Von Bardeleben that said simply "Saw it, went home".

Originally posted by AlphaAlekhine There is an cool WIN in 12 that was constructed by Waitzkin and Pandolfini for the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer. The position never arose in the actual game between the two prodigies.
Speaking of such, does anyone know that kid's name that was Josh's rival? I heard he never pursued chess out of his scholastic years.
Just wondering
What was funny was that the moves his teacher was calculating to himself didn't matchup to the moves Josh eventually ended up doing (no mention of the race to promote the pawns).

Nuff respect!!
Well I provided as much information as I could! Sometimes one mentions just a couple of facts not hoping folks will do strenuous work, but just hoping someone is very familiar with the answer and can solve it without much effort.

Hmm. Will have to check into that later...I could swear my source ascribes the problem to Loyd.
