Edward Lasker (1885 – 1981) was a leading American chess and Go player.In Berlin, he won the City Championship (1909).Edward Lasker published several books on American checkers, chess, and Go. He won five U.S. Open Chess Championships (1916, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1921). His best result was his narrow 8.5–9.5 loss in a match with Frank Marshall for the U.S. Championship in 1923. For that, Lasker was invited to participate in the legendary New York 1924 chess tournament, facing world-class masters like Alekhine, Capablanca, Rubinstein, Emanuel Lasker and Réti. He finished 10th out of 11 players.His most famous game is probably the queen sacrifice and king hunt against Sir George Thomas.This game we are going to see below:

wow!! Qxh7 looks like a hard move to play..

Great Game!

Very good!

Beautiful tactical moves! 

                                      97 years on?

                  Those are the good old days of chess!

if he do a long castle its more fun

Many thanks for this what an excellent example of sacrifice. Did not see it until the very end

yeah i know that game its perfect chess.
He's the greatest chess player of all time, in my opinion.

All those years thinking that this perl was a Lasker's game... but no, it's a Lasker's game...

I remember this game from some time ago. Its just as fascinating now. I agree with zurca that castling long would have been more comical.

Edward Lasker thought Sir George Thomas would have been peaved, having been beaten in this way.  However, he was a perfect English gentleman and actually congratulated Lasker.
