In the same year as his immortal double bishop sacrifice against Bauer, future world chess champion, Emanuel Lasker, played a wonderful game against Jacques Mieses. Had he finished with a flourish, perhaps this would have been one of Lasker’s most famous masterpieces?
Lessons (so many!):
* Don’t develop your queen early! The game is a perfect illustration of this classic principle.
* Don’t open with wing-pawn pushes. …f5 AND …c5?! [surprise]
* When you get a lead in development, don’t let your opponent castle.
* Include all the pieces (especially rooks) in your attack.
