| | Emanuel Lasker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One of Lasker's most famous games is Lasker - Bauer, Amsterdam, 1889, in which he sacrificed both bishops in a maneuver later repeated in a number of games. | | | Ken Whyld, The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker (The Chess Player, 1998) | | | Lasker's line curbs White's aggressive intentions, and according to Reuben Fine, the resulting simplified position "is psychologically depressing for the gambit player." |

| | From 1901 to 1914, Lasker played in only three chess tournaments. | | | In 1884 Emanuel Lasker became a serious chess player. | | | Lasker was convinced that Tarrasch had hypnotic powers and wanted to play the match from a different room. |

| | A Lasker Article |
| | Lasker understood that playing a good position can pose players mental problems, there can be a tendency to relax, and in the face of dogged defensive play a player’s head can go down, even if he still has an advantage. | | | Because there is a blend of both strategy and tactics in Lasker’s games they are instructive for the club player. | | | Club players are notoriously reluctant to play through old games but Lasker’s games are instructive and they are well worth the small effort involved. |

| | The chess games of Emanuel Lasker |
| | : Lasker played 520 games in a chesslife from 1889 to 1940 and was worldchampion for 27 years. | | | Lasker was a very great player but not, apparently, one whose play is easy to grasp or emulate, at least in the view of a number of top masters. | | | I have seen many people recommend studying Rubienstein"s games, and one Soviet GM said he knew titled players who by making a deep study of Rubienstein"s games picked up 10-15 ELO points which is a lot at the GM level. |

| | Lasker |
| | Lasker was attracted to play through the large purse at stake despite being disillusioned and not overly enthusiastic about the game. | | | Lasker's game philosophy from a psychological perspective, is extremely interesting because he uniquely put human frailty into the equation for being an effective chess player. | | | This is a kind of echo of Lasker- who was not so much interested in trying to play a "perfect", correct game of chess, as much as an effective game of chess]. |

| | 1908 World Championship Match |
| | Lasker was angry at Tarrasch over the snub, Tarrasch (a medical doctor who could afford to play chess for free if he wished), was angry about Lasker's large financial demands for every event he played in. | | | Marshall was Dr. Lasker's opponent, and, as is equally well known, the champion had not the slightest difficulty in retaining his title, passing through the contest without the loss of a single game. | | | Given the best possible play on the part of Tarrasch, which it must be admitted was not forthcoming in many of the games, we are inclined to think that Lasker would have been capable of putting forth that great effort which he was not called upon to make. |

| | 1921 World Championship Match |
| | Capablanca disputed several of Lasker's conditions, including time limit, the stakes, the short playing time, the 30 game limit, and especially the requirement that the Challenger must win by 2 points to win the title. | | | The purse was $20,000, with Lasker to receive $11,000 and Capablanca $9,000, regardless of the final score. | | | After 4 draws, Lasker sacrificed a Pawn, then the exchange, finally blundering on Move 45 to lose a game that probably still could have been drawn. |

| | Despite the potentially dangerous pieces still in play, Lasker's king is going to march into the center of the board and take everything that's not nailed down. | | | Here we see an unusual number of Lasker losses and draws, but as Whyld notes in his introduction, "the master can be generous in order to foster public relations." We see that clearly here in a simul game against a young schoolboy. | | | While few of these games are short, one senses that Lasker did not have to exert himself. |

| | Lasker was also a starting point for my friendship with Ken, as my stumbling across a previously unknown Lasker game in a Philadelphia chess column was the reason I contacted him early in 2000. | | | The second Lasker game from Mitchell's column is, perhaps, the game that caused Whyld to question the attribution to Lasker. | | | As it stands we can admit the first game to the Lasker canon with the qualification that we cannot place the event, or determine if it was an exhibition game or from a simultaneous display. |
