Emanuel Lasker was the chess champion of the world for 27 years, a record which will never be equalled. In a tournament career spanning almost half a century he was lower than third on only three occasions, the first of them being when he came out of retirement at the age of 65. The only one of his 2 matches which he lost was the last one, when he was defeated by Capablanca in a title contest.
His successor as world champion described Lasker as 'the most profound and imaginative player (and the greatest endgame exponent) I have ever known'.
This collection of almost 1400 games includes not only those from first-class events, but also many revealing and instructive clashes from such events as simultaneous displays.
