Description:
For a World Champion to produce a monthly magazine would today be considered incredible, yet for Lasker it was possible, since for many years at a time he was not involved in tournaments. LCM was quite different to even other contemporary magazines, in that it often devoted much space to chess-related prose as well as the normal output of games (many annotated by Lasker) and problems. Amongst the many news items concerning American clubs and tournaments is a snippet about the famous Hastings and St. Leonards chess club and its tour of seven European cities. 292pp. (EUR 29,00)
