Emmanuel Lasker - J.H.
Bauer; 1-0
(The first and
original type of game for this genre. The great Lasker sacrifices with abandon,
setting up
a
pattern that was to become the blueprint for this type of game. Its echoes can be
heard many years later -
over
100 years, to be exact!! {A game was played in 2002 with thus kind of
sacrifice.} Indeed, Garry
Kasparov could never have played his great brilliancy: GM G. Kasparov - GM L
Portisch;
Niksic, 1983;
without
this great game. So here is a game of the highest order of brilliancy ... that
has left its impression
on
virtually every Master and GM game that has followed it. Is it Lasker's greatest
brilliancy? Somehow
I
doubt this - he played far too many more contests and created many more games
against much stronger
players
for this to be his greatest game. But enjoy!
