The game is over after Lasker blunders with 19...Na5? Perhaps on a longer time
control Lasker would have seen that this move loses. It takes CM9_SKR 0:45 on an
AMD 2500 to switch to Kh7.

Additionally, this game features some of the highest non-mate scores I have ever
seen in a high-level game. 35.Ne8 (NOT the move you played) gets a score of more
than +28!

Well played!
