Emanuel Lasker: A Chess Biography with 1,832 Games

By Hans Renette

Book Overview

Emanuel Lasker (1868-1941) had the longest reign of any world champion in chess--27 years. From 1894 through 1921, he wielded exceptional dominance over several generations of contemporaries and is still regarded as one of the strongest players the world has seen. A multifaceted personality, he excelled in other fields as well, and his life has been the subject of a recent deep-digging biographic trilogy.

This book presents for the first time a detailed examination of Lasker's chess career, with a complete collection of games, many presented with analysis by Lasker and other first rank masters.
