285 games, 1879-1894 - Why Lasker Matters
|
This collection gathers the 100 games annotated in Andrew Soltis 2006 book; Why Lasker Matters. Soltis sums up Lasker as follows: "[Lasker] employed many of the techniques that have become common today. He violated general principles when he felt confident in doing so. He played "practical" moves. He focused on specifics, such as targets, rather than the theoretical. He didn't calculate what didn't need to be calculated. He realized the clock was the 33rd piece. He complicated before his position got bad. He took calculated risks. He sacrificed for purely positional compensation. He used tactics to advance positional goals. It used to be said that Lasker, unlike his contemporaries, formed no school of thought. But we're all his students."
