24. Rd3
! White is correct to bring in his reinforcements to get at the Black King.

 
24... f6
As you can now see a rather sweet pattern would result from 24. h6 25. Nf5 Kh7 26. Nxh6! f6 27. Nf5! fxg5 28. Rh3 with checkmate to follow!

 
25. Nf5+ Kh8
Black's only move....

 
26. Qxg6
Black resigns here. Lasker laid down his King because he had no desire to suffer through 26. hxg6 27. Rh3 Nh6 28. Rxh6 Checkmate. A very very devastating victory for Alexander Alekhine.
