In round 9, former World Champion Emanuel Lasker was on the verge of defeat against Frank Marshall, and this close draw seems to have given him a boost in round 10. He refuted Reti's somewhat articificial treatment of the French with a number of energetic moves.
Efim Bogoljubow is known as a great optimist but with 3 wins, 4 losses and only one draw he has not been too successful in New York so far. However, against tailender Frederick Yates Bogoljubow played with his usual confidence and came to a smooth victory, which he secured with a nice combination.
When you look at the games of World Champion José Raúl Capablanca, you sometimes get the impression that he finds chess too easy. Against Frank Marshall, after nine moves the Cuban was clearly better with Black but just as in his round 4 game against Alekhine he did not make the most of the chances and allowed Marshall to escape into a draw.
Edward Lasker is an engineer by profession and the only amateur in the field. But so far he is doing relatively well in New York though he has missed a couple of chances. In a way, Lasker's game against Alekhine is typical: Lasker outplayed Alekhine convincingly but failed to strike in crucial moments.
Tartakower, too, could have done better with Black against Dawid Janowsky. Janowsky sacrificed a pawn in the opening but failed to get enough compensation. At least at first. However, in the further course of the game Janowsky's position got better and better until the game finally ended with a perpetual.
With his win against Reti, Emanuel Lasker could extend his lead. After ten of 22 rounds he now with 7.0/9. Alekhine and Capablanca follow one point behind with 6.0/9 (Alekhine) and 6.0/10 (Capablanca).
