The Unknown Emanuel Lasker
Compiled by MissScarlett

I meant to call this collection, <The Unknown Lasker> in homage to the book on Capablanca, but the scope for confusion with Berthold, Edward or any other passing Lasker was too great.

Kenneth Whyld's 1998 monograph <The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker> remains the essential collection of his games. Its enumeration goes as high as 1390, but that reckoning includes two classes of games that inflate the total - i) wholly missing games (i.e. those match or tournament games known to exist, but presently lost), ii) incomplete games that consist of a) stubs (where a substantial part of the game after the opening moves are unknown) and b) game positions (i.e. where the part of the game missing includes the opening). The missing games speak for themselves but the incomplete games will also not feature at <cg.com>.
