Lasker had Bird in perpetual check (abt 1890) for about
20-moves.  Bird was one move to queen-ing a pawn but as long as
lasker could check, Bird would not get the pawn in home.  looks like
to me that Bird simply ran out of time and the Lasker was declared
the winner.  This is about 50th or 51st game for Lasker.
