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
this kind of
sacrifice.} Indeed, Garry Kasparov could
never have played his great brilliancy:
GM Garry Kasparov -
GM Lajos 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!
