Just recently found this response to Q's Gambit. Everything I've found says Albin played it against Lasker, and implies that Lasker got beat, thus Lasker's Trap. But DID HE get beat?? The tourny was in New York in 1893. Does anyone know? DID Mr. Lasker get beat with it?
(once the trap is set, the brilliant move is black's pawn promotes to a knight!! instead of Q. Then white capturing seems very logical, as several moves prior for white. But white loses the Q and probably several more pieces or mate. )
