Reviews
"The editors combined with ten (!) high calibre contributors to produce an outstanding work on Lasker's early years up to about 1909. All aspects of Lasker's complex character are explored. Not all the many chapters can be mentioned here; two outstanding are the examination of the World Championship match with Tarrasch in 1908 and Marin's deep analysis of Lasker's style. Expensive, but worth every penny."-- English Chess Federation ; "For a player with such a prodigious career as Lasker's, the widely spread syntagm that he was mainly paying attention to the psychological aspects of the over the board fight is not only unfair, but also presents the risk of lowering his purely technical merits in the public opinion's eyes. There are a few more objective and deeper elements that make his best games instructive for the modern player. Lasker was an universal player, able to find his way in a wide range of positions, from the most quiet (or boring) ones to the most chaotic and irrational ones. As a general thread, he possessed the ability of generating ideas out of the blue, as a player who would not just follow the requirements of the position, but make the game flow along his own plans. From this point of view I would compare him with David Bronstein and Magnus Carlsen. In an era dominated by computers, the modern player can learn from Lasker's games how to think independently, a most dangerous weapon against the opponents dependent on the dry '+1.00' way of reasoning. On more concrete terms and even though by far not all his games are linear and flawless, players of all ages and levels will find a handful of positions and sequences perfectly suited for training or learning and, quite surely a lot of fun."--Mihail Marin; "This volume, the first of three, presents Lasker in a depth and breadth never before seen. His life, in all its astonishing facets, is reflected in the many contributions by eminent figures in their fields. I can't speak for my own contribution, but I can for the rest of the book: beautifully bound, handsomely illustrated, finely written, impeccably edited, Emanuel Lasker is that rarest of chess biographies: a worthy historical tribute and a fascinating read."-- John Hilbert.
