24... f6 |
As you can now see a rather sweet pattern would result from 24. h6 25. Nf5 Kh7 26. Nxh6! f6 27. Nf5! fxg5 28. Rh3 with checkmate to follow! | |||||

25. Nf5+ Kh8 |
Black's only move.... | |||||

26. Qxg6 |
Black resigns here. Lasker laid down his King because he had no desire to suffer through 26. hxg6 27. Rh3 Nh6 28. Rxh6 Checkmate. A very very devastating victory for Alexander Alekhine. | |||||
