In round 16 Emanuel Lasker won a fighting game against Richard Reti and in round 17 the 55-year-old former World Champion again proved his fighting spirit. He played with Black against Frederick Yates and in a balanced position Lasker patiently set his opponent problems until Yates finally cracked in the endgame.
Round 17 also saw the first loss on time in the entire tournament. In New York, the players have two hours to make 30 moves, but in his game against Dawid Janowsky, Geza Maroczy thought for too long and only managed to make 29 moves in two hours and lost on time.
Richard Reti scored a nice win with Black against Savielly Tartakower. In a Ruy Lopez Reti soon seized the initiative and then sacrificed the exchange to add some pressure. Tartakower found no defense and resigned after 47 moves.
Efim Bogoljubwo and Alexander Alekhine played the longest game of the round. After an exciting and long fight they drew in 85 moves.
Frank Marshall and Edward Lasker are old rivals: in 1923 they played a match for the US Championship, which Marshall narrowly won with 9½-8½. Marshall also won against Edward Lasker in the first half of the tournament in New York, but their game in round 17 ended in a draw.
E. Bogoljubow ½-½ A. Alekhine
S. Tartakower 0-1 R. Reti
F. Yates 0-1 Em. Lasker
F. Marshall ½-½ Ed. Lasker
D. Janowsky 1-0 G. Maroczy
