  chessgames.com: When we receive pgn files that say simply "Lasker" (and not "Ed. Lasker" or "Em. Lasker") we have to assume it's Emanuel Lasker, in the void of other information; just like when we see "Kasparov" we have assume it's Garry.

If you know for a fact that this is Edward then please cite your source and we'll fix it right away.

Feb-02-04  ughaibu: All I know is that Emanuel Lasker didn't play in a tournament in New York in 1931, so it could be Eric Lasker.
Feb-02-04  ughaibu: Chessgames.com: Is this any use? http://www.chesslinks.org/hof/misc/...

  paulalbert: This is definitely Edward Lasker who played in the NY 1931 Tournament. Capablanca won this tournament with ease, winning every game except 2 draws. Paul Albert
Feb-02-04  Calli: Chessgames: It is Edward. Actually, you are missing most of Capablanca's games in this tournament, but have a duplicate of the Horowitz game. I will submit a complete PGN of all 11 Capablanca games.
