No one gave him much of a chance to defeat Euwe who was at that time one of the hottest
players on the planet - indeed he went on to win the World Championship a couple of years

If you do not know this game - beg steal or borrow a set of annotations, the game has
appeared in a few anthologies over the years but I am afraid I can't put them on the
Internet because of copyright.
The image will just keep repeating and repeating - nice to copy and paste
onto your desktop if you like the game.
Note the fabulous queen sacrifice that Lasker finds (well he had to it is
forced) in this game. Truly wonderful chess and highly instructive.
