Emanuel Lasker: The Life of a Chess Master de Hannah (preface d'Albert Einstein!) est une excellente biographie de Lasker. A lire absolument!

Hannah?...Hannak! J'avais sur Lasker le suivant:Hannak,JEMANUEL LASKER, The Life and Games of a Chess MasterDover, 1991, environ $10(dolares). Biographie passioné, mais...avec des erreurs, et jugements pressés sur la personalité de Lasker. Parfois du romance et peu objectivité, mais on sent le soufle de vie, dans cette vie fascinant de Lasker. J'avais en espagnol:

ref Arlindov Je suis d'accord avec toi, l'absence de bons bouquins sur Lasker est effarante. Ses parties sont une merveille. How To Defend in Chess, de Crouch, est une excellente introduction au style de Lasker, decrit superbement bien ses capacites defensives et sa vision personnelle du jeu.
PS: Bien sur Hannak! Merci d'avoir corrige. J'ai du confrondre avec Daryl!Bon weekend.

A vos magnétoscopes ! Vous avez demlandé le D. J. Hannak, le voici !
In « Emanuel Lasker : The Life of a Chess Master », du Dr. J. Hannak, aux Editions Simon and Schuster (New York, 1959)
Préface de A. Einstein (p. 7/8)
Emanuel Lasker was undoubtedly one of the most interesting people I came to know in my later life. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who have troubled to acquaint contemporary and future generations with his life-story. For few indeed can have combined such a unique independence of personality with so eager an interest in all the great problems of mankind.
I am no chess player myself, so I am not in a position to admire his mental powers in the sphere of his greatest intellectual achievements; indeed I have to confess that I have always disliked the fierce competitive spirit embodied in that highly intellectual game.
I met Emanuel Lasker in the house of my old friend Alexander Moszkowski, and I came to know him well during the many walks we took together, discussing ideas on a variety of subjects. It was a somewhat unilateral discussion in which, almost invariably, I was in the position of listener for it seemed to be the natural thing for this eminently creative man to generate his own ideas rather than adjust himself to those of someone else.
Whenever we met I seemed to detect a somewhat tragic note in his personality, in spite of a fundamentally optimistic inclination always to seek some positive meaning in life. His mind which had that exceptional elasticity characteristic of chess players was imbued with chess to such an extent that he could never quite rid himself of the spirit of the game, even while dealing with philosophical and human problems. Nevertheless, I had the impression that to him chess was a means of livelihood rather than the real object of his life.
What he really yearned for was some scientific understanding and that beauty peculiar to the process of logical creation, a beauty from whose magic spell no one can escape who has ever felt even its slightest influence. Spinoza
