Emanuel Lasker was world champion for a remarkable 27 years
(1894-1921) and is generally regarded as having been way ahead of
his time in his understanding of chess. He primarily regarded chess
as a fight and considered that the strongest move in a position was
the one that created greatest problems for the opponent and not
necessarily the one that was objectively "best". His strengths
included: ----- * His skill at accumulating small advantages with
quiet manoeuvring. --- * His astonishing ability to find tactical
resources in defence. --- * His uncanny knack of provoking errors
in balanced positions. ----- Lasker was, essentially, a complete
chessplayer and his games feel thoroughly modern. Indeed many
contemporary elite players (the most obvious one being the current
world champion Magnus Carlsen) exhibit a very similar style. -----
The Move by Move series provides an ideal format for the keen
chessplayer to improve their game. While reading you are
continually challenged to answer probing questions - a method that
greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just
as much as the traditional assimilation of chess knowledge.
Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you
actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you
learn. This is an excellent way to study chess while providing the
best possible chance to retain what has been learnt.
