It is now almost exactly three years ago that Dr. Lasker lost his title of World Champion to José Raúl Capablanca in Havana. But anyone who had written Lasker off will have to revise his verdict: After yesterday's 20th round Lasker is the heavy favourite to win the New York tournament – ahead of Capablanca.
In his game against Geza Maroczy in round 20 Lasker had to survive some critical moments but as so often he managed to hold and to win in the end.
The 55-year old Lasker is close to another big triumph.
After miscalculating World Champion José Raúl Capablanca came into trouble against Frederick Yates but also managed to save his bad position. However, unlike Lasker he only drew and with two rounds to go he is now 1½ behind Lasker.

Alexander Alekhine played a fine game against Frank Marshall but in the end had to content himself with a draw. The 31-year old Alekhine is the youngest participant in New York and he can no longer win the tournament but with his ambition and his dedication to chess his time will certainly come.
Richard Reti started well into the tournament and played a number of remarkable games but against Edward Lasker he had a bad day.
At the end of the long tournament Reti seems tired.
Yates ½-½ Capablanca
Marshall ½-½ Alekhine
Em. Lasker 1-0 Maroczy
Ed. Lasker 1-0 Réti
Janowsky 0-1 Bogoljubow
