Lasker's Chess Magazine, November 1905 - April 1906 (Volume 3, 1905-1906)

Description:
Like Steinitz Lasker conducts his own Game Department, but the style otherwise is very different. Lasker's editorials are far gentler, being far more generous and diplomatic about his opponents. However, he can't resist describing Tarrasch as someone who must always be correct. The Lasker - Tarrasch negotiations we excpect, like Banquo's line, to reach out to the crack of doom. As well as the usual reports, lengthy prose pieces were a regular feature. Two pieces entitled the elephant game explain the rules and strategy of Chinese Chess, whilst an article on women players criticises separate ladies' clubs as perpetuating mediocrity and advocates integrated tournaments between the sexes. 292pp. (EUR 29,00)
