A spurious zugzwang stamp…
"In this 'Capablanca - Lasker', […] there followed 1.Nxc7 Nxc7 2.Ra8+!! Nxa8 3.Kc8 and Black resigned.
The reason for the [quotation marks] is that a game with that ending can be found nowhere, and that the position of the stamp, no matter how often it has been reprinted as 'Capablanca - Lasker', has never really occurred. What did happen is, according to Dale Brandreth in 'The Unknown Capablanca', that in 1914 Capablanca and Lasker met in Berlin, where they played a short blitz match (I wonder what sort of blitz, I can't really picture them demolishing clocks), won by Capablanca with 6½-3½. The stamp-endgame arose in the post-mortem of one of those games, and must be seen as a joint composition by the two world champions. Lasker then published it in his column in Der Vossische Zeitung, apparently worded in a way that left room for him to become the loser." - Tim Krabbé, Open Chess Diary (bold text mine)
