1898.11.22 Lasker Simul 24b, London (1898) (+18=4-1*1)

Last night the greatest of all masters, Herr Lasker, the champion of the world, visited the club to play a simultaneous match against 24 of the members of teh club. This was no light task, for the City Chess Club numbers some of the very strongest amateurs among its ranks, such men indeed as Dr. Bheden sic, Mr. Curnock, Mr. L. Zangwill (brother of the novelist), Mr. H. Johnson, and Mr. Leye, to name no others.

Mr. Lasker played simultaneously against twenty-four members of the City of London Chess Club on Tuesday evening. Starting at a little after six o'clock, he completed his heavy task in less than six hours—heavy task we say, because he had a number of first-class amateurs pitted against him. The result was that Lasker won eiehgteen games, drew four, and lost one against Mr. Leye, a young player of great promise.
