The ChessCafe World Chess Champions Series Emanuel Lasker was a
great chess fighter, thinker and researcher. He was possessed of
gigantic playing strength, retaining the title of Worlds Number One
Chessplayer for 27(!) years. Even after losing his crown, he kept
his ability for a long time, as shown by his victories and
prize-winning finishes in immensely powerful international
tournaments when he was 54 (Moravska-Ostrava 1923), 55 (New York
1924), 56 (Moscow 1925), and even at 66 (Moscow 1935)! One of the
chief postulates of the Second World Champion was the battle of
honor. On the chessboard, lies and dishonesty have no place. These
words of Lasker could serve, even today, as an example to every
young chessplayer of how to relate to the Great Game. Emanuel
Lasker was the first in history to achieve a universal style. This
was a Style of the Future, which is why the Second World Champion
would not be understood by many of his contemporaries, who believed
that he had no style at all. Laskers games of chess, like his
entire chess legacy, will live forever! Join Russian chess
historians Isaak and Vladimir Linder as they take you on a journey
exploring the life and games of the great world champion Emanuel
Lasker.
