opposite of an expression

[William Ryan]

I have read the other suggestions for a possible translation, but it 
seems to me that a little more context is required to be sure what is 
meant - Lasker was well known for playing apparently bad moves (e.g. 
sacrifices of pieces) to secure a later positional advantage. Which 
particular 'kombinatsiia Laskera' is being referred to may well be 
significant.
