Lasker was so good and profound that even Fischer couldn't fathom him. Even later when he tried to, shall we say, backtrack, even then his remarks were not in the least insightful. I suspect that at the rrime of each, Lasker might have lost their first game just to get the sounding of his man, and that would have been all for Bobby. Korchnoi had a similar effect on Fischer, both K and L playing messy chess. A Lion in a Thicket that was what you had with Lasker.
@ Arlindoerm Was that Lasker's brother at 3:30, Steinitz at 3:50 and 3:55, Frank Marshall at 4:00, Bogoljubow at 4:26, Tarrasch at 4:31 and 4:45, Alekhine at 4:35, Capablanca at 4:50 and 5:11, Salo Flohr with the white pieces at 4:59, Euwe at 5:06, Marshall again at 5:11, Capablanca at 5:11, Botvinnik at 5:26, Keres at 5:33? Absolutely fascinating montage of Emmanual Lasker, the great man and chessplayer.
Yes ...very good video.I have beaten numerous Grandmasters over the years and Lasker helped me!! While a genius over the board,he still knew the power of "playing the man" at critical points in his career.There are actually times when he played the SECOND best move to lure his foe into becoming dangerously optimistic!!! Great work in playing and posting !! :) This giant was the greatest in terms of seeing chess psychology at its best from a reigning champion.
