Emanuel Lasker held the World Chess Championship for a record
period from 1894-1921. During this time he dominated his
contemporaries in elite events such as St Petersburg 1896, London
1899, Paris 1900 and St Petersburg again in 1914. He won numerous
matches against such greats as Steinitz, Marshall, Janowski and
Tarrasch, as well as defending his title in a drawn match against
Schlechter. This account of Lasker's life and games reads like a
novel - how as a young man he fought his way to the world title
while still in his twenties, how he survived the First World War
and the later Nazi persecution of Jews in Germany, and how Lasker
emerged at over 60 years of age to once again carve out a career
for himself amongst the hungry young lions of world chess.
