Qh5 Nf6 24. Qg6+ Qg7 25. Qxg7+ Bxg7 26. f4 {Lasker later admitted that this was a bad continuation. Yet even this bad move displays Lasker's fighting instinct. The fact is that the relatively less bad move 26. Pf3 would have certainly led to eventual loss as the White would have no counterplay} 26... Nd7 27. Rad1 Bf7 (27... exf4 28. Bxf4 Bf7 (28... Bxb2 29.
