La Grande Storia degli Scacchi and the Berliner Schachverband website give +1-1=2; the British Chess Magazine of Aug. 1891 (p.392) gives +1-1=1; all other sources give +2-1=1 for Lasker. Michael Negele (p.24) clarifies that the fourth games was not completed, but was broken off in a probably lost position for von Bardeleben. This is counted as a win for Lasker by most sources.
