Please do not confuse Emanuel Lasker with Edward Lasker ! BiographyEmanuel Lasker (1868-1941). A chess world champion (1894-1921) who liked to play Go, too. In 1908 he married and became husband, father, and grandfather all at once. During World War I he invested his savings in war bonds (and lost it all). His Ph.D. dissertation of 1902 on ideal numbers became a cornerstone of 20th century algebra.
Emanuel Lasker's older brother Berthold won the New York State chess championship in 1902. LinksThis is a copy of the living page "Emanuel Lasker" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
