The International Chess Congress, St. Petersburg, 1909.
Emanuel Lasker.
Dover. 1971. 192 pp. English Descriptive notation. ISBN 0486224414.
This Dover edition, first published in 1971, is an unabridged and unaltered
republication of the work originally published by Emanuel Lasker in 1910.
This is a book in which analysis is accurate.
The games in this book show the working of the mind of the master, and the commentary has been intended to guide the thought of him who plays over these games so that he may perceive weakness and merit. Notes have been made solely for that purpose. The glossary was meant to be both necessary and sufficient. Nowhere will it be found lacking in supplying explanation needed, but there are no superfluities.
The work has been translated from German, all but the early part, by Mr. R. Teichmann, and some valuable advice has been given to me by Mr. Teichmann, for which I beg to thank him here.
Emanuel Lasker.
New York, May 10, 1910.
There is an unusually high number of typos in the game scores. This is mostly just mildly irritating, since it is generally obvious what the right move is; but here and there it can be hard to figure out the actual course of a game!
