All the games are marvels and show the chess craft, read ingenuity or cleverness, of those players that are at a higher level.
Why didn't he play o-o-o#
He must have liked kd2 more, mating by a discovered attack from a king.
Probably the same reason he chose the longer mate and not the shorter one with 16.Kf1 which looks a lot less fancy.
I don't think 16 Kf1 works (due to 16... gf).
16..Gxf 17.Nh2#
Good call (never mind...)
Edward Lasker vs. George Alan Thomas, lol , I enjoyed the game.......blacks king was in really hurry, what a blunder n then what a harassment .......aaaaaahahaha !!!!! it was really funny 2 c blacks king was in whits king position.....aaaaaahahahah!!!! man I can stop laughing.......mmmmuuhahahaha !!!!!!
I love this thread. Maybe someone can figure out what game I am thinking of by my horrible description(I BELIEVE it was botvinik that played it) where the combination starts with a queen and 2 or 3 rooks hanging(NONE of which can be taken because of a forced mate). There is a knight on the kingside that assists the mating attack
