loud and clear
Susan, thanks for the interesting link.
I don’t recommend getting Edward Lasker’s books for instruction. Even he admitted that Nimzovich’s “My System” was a better book than his “Chess Strategy”. If you want to go “old school”, I recommend anything by Znosko-Borovsky.
Lasker is an entertaining writer. In that regard, I recommend “Chess for Fun and Chess For Blood” if you can get it in a language you speak.
“Chess Lessons I Learned From The Masters” is a CLASSIC. Get it!
Thanks for sharing GM Susan Polgar! I am always open for a free read:)
Charlie
Ken,
It is nice you mentioned Edward’s little tidbit, but we cannot simply take his word for it as authors will write anything to leave the reader in a mysterical state.
Until we know who that “someone” is and locate the exact promary source of the “Lasker family tree” there is no evidence to sup[port claim. Re-quoting something form a book by an author is not anything but merely secondary truth wihtout verification.
In that case, both Lasker’s were not related and again, you cannot tell us how “distant” they really were.

Hi Anonymous,
I am sure if you write to the chess magazine who are the source of the information, they will verify it for you.
However, while I can understand your point of view, and even agree with your outlook, then surely because you cannot prove that they were not related, its the same argument?
If you wish to believe that the are not related, than I respect your opinion, I will continue to believe otherwise.
Not getting the link. anyone got it ?
We need to remind readers that the photo in this section is the same one from the first Edward and emanuel Lasker photo but reversed.
