Simultaneous and Exhibition Games
F.W. Sieber-Lasker, simul, Nuremberg, 1913. Aside from the game vs. Steinitz
given at the beginning of this article, this is the only other recorded instance of
Lasker losing on either side of the Variation. White s play would do credit to the
Master himself. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.d4 exd4 6.Qxd4

Grigoriev-Lasker, exhibition game, Moscow, February 1924. White seems to
overreach in the endgame. After, say, 38.Rd2, it is very hard to see how Black
could have won. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.Nc3 f6 6.d4 exd4
