This is Emanuel Lasker vs Rudolf Johannes Loman, 1903*, a very strong amateur (Dutch champion 1912) , in a simul...  Lasker gets a won game with a brilliant finesse of a passed pawn -- and then in most unLaskerlike fashion lets his guard down -- and the wily amateur, a true coffee shop genius... finds a saving resource to win...  (*I've got the date screwed up in the annotations to the game... but 1903 is the correct date of this game)
