  • Soviet Vintage Chess Book: My Game with Capablanca. E. Lasker. 1925
    book

    28.00 $

    RUB

    Author: E. Lasker Title: My Game with Capablanca Published: Leningrad, 1925 Binding: Softback Language: Russian Pages: 64Emanuel Lasker — German chess player and mathematician, representative of the positional school, the second world chess champion (won this title from Steinitz in 1894 and lost to Capablanca in 1921). Lasker kept the title of world champion for 27 years, which is a record achievement for chess. Even after losing the title, he continued to perform at the highest level until he was 68 years old.Lasker had a universal style of play, but his strongest sides were considered positional flair and endgame. Many biographers and researchers call Lasker the discoverer of the psychological approach to chess: it is believed that Lasker was often ready to go to the deterioration of its position to direct the game in an inconvenient direction for a particular opponent. This point of view is popular even now, although some experts consider it a mistake and explains Lasker's achievements with a deep understanding of chess and the ability to assess the pros and cons of a particular continuation of the party.Throughout his chess career, Lasker repeatedly stopped performing for several years to study mathematics and philosophy. Lasker defended his doctoral thesis in mathematics in 1901, and his main achievement in mathematics was a theorem called by his name and the name of Emmy Noether, which generalized Lasker's original result. In addition, Lasker published several philosophical works and literary works.
