Lasker's Manual of Chess

Emanuel Lasker was probably the greatest chess player of modern times. Certainly no man has ever held the world championship longer - 28 years - or kept his powers so long. In his sixties, Lasker began what amounted to a fresh career in chess by playing his first serious game in ten years, and defeating Max Euwe, the man who was the following year to become world champion. The secret behind his extraordinary abilities may perhaps be found in Laskers wide knowledge of every phase of the game, and his ability to be independent of schools or fashions.
