was probably played and this is the move in Bird's booklet on the match and in
Lasker's Chess Magazine (which Kingston's "Lasker Reader" follows correctly).
Instead several sources give instead 31…b6 (or P to QKt3 as in The Field of
5 May 1894). The Deutsche Schachzeitung, Bachmann, Pickard and ChessBase are
among those who say the b-pawn was moved, with the reply 32 Ke4, but Hübner
points out that this makes less sense than …g6 because White could reply Be4.

to be truncated in databases. The Deutsche Schachzeitung says after Black's
46th move that the game was broken off as a draw. Bachmann copied but Kingston
goes to move 48 although Lasker's Chess Magazine actually gave 50 moves for
both sides which is confirmed in The Field, 19 May 1894, which said at move 50:
"Both players having made the same moves three times, the game was given up as
drawn after Black's fiftieth move."} 1/2-1/2

Daily News of 17 August 1895 and also the Deutsche Schachzeitung for September
1895.  The English tournament book printed Black’s 37th move as “Q to B
sq” (i.e., 37…Qc8). This mistake and many others in that book undoubtedly
arose because the editor (Horace F. Cheshire) did not work from the original
scoresheets but sent all the games to other competitors to annotate.} 38. Bc4 {
In Cheshire's book this is check.} Be6 39. e5 {The English centenary
tournament book (eds. Crouch and Haines) evidently noticed there was a problem
but retained 37…Qc8 and guessed White’s 39th move was Be5.} Bxc4 40. Nf5 {
In Cheshire's version this would just put the knight en prise.} 1-0

problematic in the whole set. Here the primary sources diverge, some giving 25
Qc2 (Q to QB2 in English notation) and others 25 Qf2 (Q to KB2).  The version
with Qf2 was the first to be seen in the West, for example in The Field and
the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, both for 21 November 1896. The
Deutsche Schachzeitung for December 1896 (page 367) also had 25 Qf2, but when
James Mason annotated the game for the January 1897 British Chess Magazine he
had 25 Qc2, which can be seen in Bachmann, Hooper and Pickard's collections,
Varnusz's book on Lasker, and also currently in NicBase online.  However, the
Weltgeschichte des Schachs collection on Lasker, Tartakower and DuMont's 500
Master Games of Chess and several databases have Qf2. Unfortunately (partly
because the Covid-19 pandemic means libraries that might help are currently
closed) we have not been able to find a Russian primary source which might
settle the question. Perhaps some reader can help. Our impression is that 25
Qc2 is a more useful move than Qf2 and so more likely to be correct.} f6 26.
