Emanuel Lasker 2nd World Champion, 1894 - 1921 Emanuel Lasker was born in Berlinchen, Germany on 24th December, 1868. He was taught chess by his elder brother, Berthold. As a child Lasker displayed a talent for both chess and mathematics. He attended a school in Berlin to develop his mathematical skills further and he later went on to study mathematics at Erlangen University. He achieved the German master title in 1889. In 1892 he won his first important success in a small but strong tournament in London when he took first place a half a point ahead of Blackburne. Lasker then played a match against Blackburne and when he won decisively he began to think of the possibility of becoming world champion. He challenged Tarrasch but his challenge was declined. Lasker told him that he should first win a major tournament. However, there were still doubts about who was the best player. The general feeling was that, as Steinitz was 58 years old at this time, Lasker had won the world champion match because of Steinitz's advancing years. As Tarrasch said

However, the head of this new school was president of the local chess club and the mathematics master was the local chess champion, so in his new secondary school Emanuel continued to show remarkable talents at both mathematics and at chess. In 1888 he obtained his arbitur in Landsberg an der Warthe, now a Polish town named Gorzow Wielkopolski. The young master will be a formidable opponent in future contests. Although he failed to win the tournament at Amsterdam shortly afterwards, Hoffer reinforced his opinion:- Young Lasker only confirmed the opinion we expressed about him when we watched him in Breslau. He is only years of age, but possesses already the qualities of a first-class master - erudition, judgement of position, quickness of conception, imagination, great enthusiasm for the game, and above all, he is a man of culture and more than average intelligence.

Chess Express WORLD CHAMPION EMANUEL LASKER Emanuel Lasker became world champion in 1894 and kept this title until 1921. These almost incredible 27 years on the throne are more than enough to yield Lasker a very special place in the history of chess. However, Lasker's fantastic series of tournament successes which - like Kasparov's record of success today - didn't come to an end when he lost the title of the world champion, emphasize his extraordinary position in the chess world even more. Lasker's style wasn't understood by his contemporaries, and prejudice and misjudgement on his play persist until this day. That's why the ChessBase biography above all takes a very close look at Lasker's chess. Availability: Usually ships in 5-7 business days.

Emanuel Lasker (1894-1921) Emanuel Lasker (Berlinchen/Berlin, 1868 - New York, 1941) 27 éven át õrízte világbajnoki címét. Wilhelm Steinitzet 10:5-re gyõzte le, 4 döntetlen mellett 1894-ben. Lasker igazi területe a lélektan volt. Szerette kipuhatolni ellenfele gyengéit, hogy kihasználhassa azokat. Sokszor a legjobb lépés helyett inkább az ellenfél számára legkellemetlenebbet választotta. A korban ez a felfogás idegen volt mindenki mástól, s talán ennek volt köszönhetõ, hogy csak az osztrák Schlechter tudta megszorítani õt páros mérkõzésen. Az utolsó partiban tudott gyõzni Schlecter ellen, és döntetlenre menteni a vesztésre álló meccset. Világbajnoki címét megvédte Frank Marshall, és Schlecter, kétszer David Janowski és egyszer Siegbert Tarrasch ellen. A stafétabotot 1921-ben Capablanca vette át tõle.

Emanuel Lasker - 2nd World Champion Emanuel Lasker became the second world champion (1894-1921) in the history. Besides, he was a chess theorist and a literary man (worked as an editor for “Lasker’s Chess Magazine”). As a student he began taking part in Berlin chess society tournaments, and a bit later in international tournaments as well. Among Laskers’s most important victories are: Petersburg (1895/96), Nuernberg (1896), London (1899), Paris (1900), Petersburg (1909 and 1914). What concerns matches for the world championship, Lasker defeated: Steinitz (1896/7; score 12.5:4.5), Marshall (1907; score 11.5:3.5), Tarrasch (1908; score 10.5:5.5), Janowski (1909; score 8:2, 1910; score 9.5:1.5). In 1910 he played a draw with Schlechter (score 5:5). Lasker’s way of playing chess perfectly combined logic, highly developed technique (endgame in particular) and a psychologic approach of his own toward an opponent. “Most ideas of chess art are unimaginable without Lasker He sets an example for chess players both of the present generation and generations to come ” (Alexander Alekhine). We present the most complete collection of Emanuel Lasker’s games ever compiled. It contains 630 commented games, spanning the entire career of the 2nd World Chess Champion, who held the title for 26 consecutive years from 1896 to 1921. All the games are deeply annotated by GMs Khalifman and St. Petersburg IMs. Includes also a biography, the tournament and match records, and a number of rare photos.

EMANUEL LASKER (1868-1941) Lasker was a great man... Mathematician... Chess World Champion... A great man... Great. He was born on Christmas Eve, December 24th, 1868, in Brandenburg, Germany. One of my favorite music pieces is Johannes Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. Emanuel's older brother, Berthold Lasker, taught Emanuel chess at the age of 11. In 1889 in Breslau, at the age of 21, Emanuel won the German title of Master of Chess. But, most important, it was he that introduced the two-bishop sacrifice . This is the earliest example of that great chess strategy! Only Five years later, in 1894, Lasker challenged Steinitz for the World Chess Championship. Lasker won! He was to remain the World Chess Champion until 1921. The great chess player Steinitz who had been World Champion for 28 years was famous for his introduction of strategy to chess. Lasker is most famous for seeing that chess is a struggle between two minds. In practicing that theorem he smashed Steinitz, Pillsbury and Tchigorin. But before that, Lasker had terrific results. In 1890 in Berlin, he defeated Curt von Bardeleben and Jacques Mieses in a match and he and his brother tied for first place in a tournament as well.
