Lol, not only small and light, but a small light, a dim one my friend, and is it any wonder? Who can master the immortal game? for it seems that every time I learn a principle there is quite another waiting to refute that which has been learned.
Oh, Capa and Kasparov and them Masters they could play according to their own rules; but this happens because they spent their youth playing by the rules.
Greenpawn will soon flip should ye along with Romanticus keep up behaving not; and last thing we want him to do is to start playing bridge😵

Lovely game Agreed! I busted out laughing while going over the game. I wonder if Lasker was giggling to himself during the game. 🙂

I know think he had foreseen internet chess fora and knew a thread like this would pop up and he did it to help us annoy people like GP 🙄

Maybe he was an efficiency freak. Why move two pieces when you only need to move one?
