<Do either of you know what the book by Forster, Negele and Tischbierek on Lasker says on this event? I haven't seen this book.>

Your post of kibitz #22027 would also indicate a subscription is required, so thanks for posting the information.

Given the existence of <Z truth 000000001>'s great find of 30 May 2016 and the great reputation of Forster and Negele, I'm a bit surprised these latter didn't investigate this more, but maybe that wasn't their focus.

Not sure, but the buck stops with Mark. Wasn't aware there was any difference in terms of availability.

IN THE NEW VIENNA CHESS CLUB (I., Am Hof No. 11, Mezzanine) there is already a lively chess life again, to which the competition that has just started between Messrs B. Englisch and E. Lasker (from Berlin) contributes a lot. Of the five games played, the young Berlin champion won two, the other three remained a draw.

IM NEUEN WIENER SCHACHCLUB (I., Am Hof Nr. 11, Mezzanin) herrscht bereits wieder ein reges Schachleben, wozu der soeben im Gange befindliche Wettkampf zwischen den Herren B. Englisch und E. Lasker (aus Berlin) viel beiträgt. Von den gespielten fünf Partien gewann der jugendliche Berliner Meister zwei, die anderen drei blieben unentschieden.

My 2016 find actually has a little more about the games. But the above confirms the prize amounts, and shows that Lasker didn't lose a single game in the five game match (+2 =3 -0)

* (Chess match English-Lasker.) On the 14th of d. M. started a match between the Viennese chess master English and the Berlin master Lasker in the clubhouse of the New Vienna Chess Club. The winner is the one who first won five games. So far five games have been played, three of which have been drawn while Mr Lasker has won two. <<The last of the games played so far, the rejected King's Gambit, had already been won for Mr. Englisch when he made a mistake, whereupon Mr. Lasker offered a draw, which was accepted by Mr. Englisch.>> The games themselves were very interesting and there were also a large number of spectators.

* (Schachmatch Englisch-Lasker.) Am 14. d. M. begann im Klublokale des Neuen Wiener Schachklubs, wie bereits gemeldet, ein Match zwischen dem Wiener Schachmeister Englisch und dem Berliner Meister Lasker. Sieger ist Derjenige, der zuerst fünf Partien gewonnen hat. Bis jetzt wurden fünf Partien gespielt, von denen drei remis wurden, während Herr Lasker zwei gewann. Die letzte der bis jetzt gespielten Partien, abgelehnles Königsgambit, war schon sür Herrn Englisch gewonnen, als er einen Fehlzug machte, worauf Herr Lasker remis aubot, was von Herrn Englisch angenommen wurde. Die Partien selbst verliefen sehr interessant und es halten sich auch zahlreiche Zuschauer eingefundeu.

Really great to have this part of Lasker's record sorted.

Englisch's mistake in Game 5 would seem to be a blunder of a pawn, according to your 2016 find.

One presumes from that 2016 find that therefore Lasker won Games 1 and 4, and drew Games 2, 3, and 5.

For what it's worth, I found two other items relating to this in New Zealand newspapers:

(1) "New Zealand Mail", 12 December 1890, page 6 https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/n... "A short match between Herr E. Lasker and Herr B. Englisch was played at Vienna recently, and resulted in a victory for the former, with the score of three wins, one loss, and one draw.-Bradford Observer." [No date given for the "Bradford Observer" source.] Here the news item says directly that Lasker lost a game. I wonder if the British items garbled Englisch having a won game in Game 5 into an actual win. (<MissScarlett>, perhaps you might like to check the "Bradford Observer" to see if there is any elaboration of this item there.)
