The match went D-D-D-D-W-D-D-D-D-W-W-D-D-W, so there were two
streaks of 4 draws in a row. Then, with the score 4-0 in Capa's favor,
Lasker resigned the match, even though it had been planned to last up
to 30 games, says Hannak. Besides feeling he had no chance to beat
Capablanca, Lasker found the Havana heat unendurable, in fact he was
hospitalized for some time after returning to Europe.


Whoa! If GM Lasker were physically incapacitated
while in Cuba, he would have been hospitalized there,


Unless, of course, the problem was the Cuban climate, and he had to
get away from it. No air conditioning back then.


Exactly so.
