Default Repetition in Capablanca-Lasker Wch game 5, 1921

Whoa! If GM Lasker were physically incapacitated
while in Cuba, he would have been hospitalized there,
per common sense. Only a reasonably well man would
dare venture to cross the Atlantic back then -- or a darned
fool, or a man running from something.


The competitor's health state is not a black & white issue.
Someone may be in a proor shape at the beginning of
the event, then his/her health may get either worse or
better.

Lasker always had delicate health.

During the match he asked Capablanca for a break
and postponement. Capablanca refused and Lasker
resigned the match. For a contrast, Karpov tried to
**impose** a postponement on his terms. Campo
followed the Karpov's instruction but not quite :-)

After returning to Europe, Lasker was hospitalized
for months. His had a serious health condition.

I agree with Taylor that you make sense and are fun
to read only in the context of Sanny and his GetClub.
I wish you would diversify without losing quality.
