Emanuel Lasker (1868 - 1941) had the longest reign of any world champion in chess: 27 years. From 1894 through 1921, he wielded exceptional dominance over several generations of contemporaries and is still regarded as one of the strongest players the world has seen. A multifaceted personality, he excelled in other fields as well, and his life has been the subject of a recent deep-digging biographic trilogy.

This book presents for the first time a detailed examination of Lasker’s chess career, with a complete collection of games, many presented with analysis by Lasker and other first rank masters.

Historian Hans Renette is FIDE master in chess (with 2 IM norms). He lives in Bierbeek, Belgium.
