I chose Manila.how prophetic! The old story is in. With new information in standard text. And a protected harbor along the shoreline. Mixed with the neoclassical of the U.S. Government.

If only black could get his queen coordinated with his rook on a1, he might have some chances at counterplay via the a8-h1 diagonal. Now that his queen is under attack, Lasker had to find a way to get out of the line of fire of white's rook and still defend the knight on f8. Lasker played 47. Qd6. Capablanca delivered the crushing and game-winning move 47. Qf8! Then 48. Rh7. Mate Fritz suggested 47. Ra8. Discovered c...
