It has been said that Capablanca waited for his opponent to make mistakes, but Lasker made his opponent to make mistakes.

The following game features several traps - the first two is Capa style, the third Lasker style (I know I am not even 1000th the playing strength of either, but I am talking about style). The first two waited for the opponent to make mistake (which he didn't) but the third provoked him to make mistake. Black has also made several other blunders which cost him the game.

That was fun to watch. I learned some things from that game, thanks.

The rook sac's strategy was very insightful for me. Nice game!
