Tbh long castle -mate was much cooler rather than king D2 mate🙂 in that position

[chca]

mating by 0-0-0 instead Kd2 would have been much cooler.

My coach told me to solve this puzzle a while back. That definitely kept me thinking for a while, a truly beautiful game!

Playing by Edward Lasker… It’s from a Dutch defense

[nishusaif]

This game is Edward Lasker's immortal game called the king's walk.

The knight on f6 be gangsta hanging 3 ways while surviving till the end of the game.

Not checkmate by a king, checkmate by rook, revealed by king move

That was Edward Lasker's queen sac king hunt vs George Alan Thomas in 1912 (Oct 29, London)

I remember seeing this game a lot of times for the fact that the grandmaster could have even did a castle checkmate in this position but didnt

Edward Lasker vs. George Alan Thomas this is his most famous checkmate. Look at the ending position, black army and black king, pure art. Lasker had a great partner, I'm happy he didn't wuss out and resign early.

Edit: Edward Lasker, not world champion Emanuel Lasker

[Catoru]

Btw long castle check is the most rarest checkmate

[pickaxe]

Castling is better than Kd2 in general

[djdoc]

Could have demonstrated the point with just the end part of the video. Discovered check or castle would be the options.

[ramanan]

Killer king . Still need to earn that title 🥹

[mao-janlin]

I remembered reading somewhere Edward Lasker comment that he thought Kd2 is more "efficient" than OOO. It may be something to do with his engineering background.

[binhminhsam]

In this position white can also play the check mate by playing o-o-o

[LegendAkiraToriyama]

I have had the same game exactly same game i lured out the king to my side from his and then mated him with castle mate

[sohamsainju]

Be4+# would have ended the game earlier
