I would have just played 0-0-0 mate.  Does Lasker have no style?

Very nice.  :)  Also I believe 17 0-0-0 with the threat of 18 Rdg1# and 18 Rh2# works as well.  :)  Unless 0-0-0 was not permitted in the game but judging from the move number it was most likely that white still had castling rights.  :)
