	Einstein and Chess by Bill Wall (Aug 18, 2004)
		Lasker thought Einstein's theory of relativity was wrong and that the speed of light was limited due to particles in space.
		But why for such a trivial and unimportant topic?" Edward Lasker replied, "A friend of mine recently said the following, and I must say I agree with it: 'We are born and we die, and in between these two events of a lifetime, there is a lot of time that must be wasted.
		Lasker's keen analytical mind had immediately clearly recognized that the central point of the whole question is that the velocity of light (in a vacuum) is a constant.

		Lasker was known as the "best and ripest fruit" of the several colonies of its sponsoring Montefiore Agricultural Aid Society.

		I was fortunate to meet Edward in NY when he was in his nineties, about a year before he died.
		At the Marshall there is still an annual tournament in Edward Lasker's honor, and I have occasionally given a short talk of my meeting with Edward Lasker, but there are others at the Marshall who had much more extensive friendship with Edward who give much more comprehensive recollections in his honor.

		Lasker’s subsequent tournament results proved overwhelming, eclipsing the standard set by Adolf Anderssen in the 1860s and 1870s and, in turn, to be eclipsed by Alexander Alekhine from 1927 to 1935.
		Indeed, Lasker had earlier offered to surrender the title to his young Cuban pursuer, agreeing to play only because of the enormous $25,000 prize fund raised by Capablanca, a sum not exceeded in terms of real dollars until, probably, the Kaprov - Korchnoi match of 1978 in the Philippines.
		Most tellingly, Lasker scored -5 =5 against the top half of the Moscow 1936 crosstable and not much better against the leaders at Nottingham, which would prove to be his last tournament.

		One mildly redeeming feature is it's "table of openings"in the back, but other than this, Lasker's writing style andteaching method will put even a Grandmaster to sleep.

	A Tribute to Ken Whyld : Three New Lasker Games By Neil Brennen
		Lasker was also a starting point for my friendship with Ken, as my stumbling across a previously unknown Lasker game in a Philadelphia chess column was the reason I contacted him early in 2000.
		Lasker, coming off a simul the day before in Washington DC, managed a score of 19 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw against the Philadelphia players.
		As it stands we can admit the first game to the Lasker canon with the qualification that we cannot place the event, or determine if it was an exhibition game or from a simultaneous display.

	Re: Was Emanuel Lasker a racist?
		In Lasker's day, I believe the general situation was much the same: northern European countries and their colonies led the way, and the rest of the world was more or less appalling by comparison.
		It was a simpler time, and Lasker and his contemporaries had only appearances to go on.
		They lacked the sophisticated academic research that has since proven "whites" are no better than any other race--in fact they are somewhat worse, for they are responsible for all the problems of the other races.

		It is therefore advisable for White to develop his QB at Kt2 instead of at Kt5, in order not to give Black a chance of exchanging his troublesome Bishop.

	Re: Was Emanuel Lasker a racist?
		But the available evidence (as described by Edward Lasker) supports the opposite conclusion.
		If Emanuel Lasker imagined that he could become a 'Go master' (in a Japanese professional sense) after only 'a few months' of practice with Japanese Go masters, then he was being absurdly optimistic.
		Based on the available evidence, Emanuel Lasker was a novice Go player with an extremely optimistic perception of his own strength at Go.

	"Lasker-Maas" rules for the game of "Go"
		These rules are a slight modification by me from the rules in the Appendix on Go in Edward Lasker's "Modern Chess Strategy".
		If several groups of the same color satisfy this no-breathing-spaces condition, ALL of them are immediately captured (all the stones of all the captured groups are immediately removed).
		Playing stage two from the prisoner's storage is equivalent to deciding what's alive and what's dead by the Chinese or Lasker "kill it, or else it's alive" rule, without screwing up the essentially Japanese score.
