	A Lasker Article

		In contrast, Lasker (1868-1941) was a truly monumental figure in the history of chess.
		However, Lasker was a scholar who valued substance over form, and it might well have pleased him to be represented by this modest-looking but surprisingly substantial volume.
		Here we see an unusual number of Lasker losses and draws, but as Whyld notes in his introduction, "the master can be generous in order to foster public relations." We see that clearly here in a simul game against a young schoolboy.

	The Studio of American Fencing - Strategic Balance is Chess and Fencing

		The dimension of Lasker's chess strategy which includes the concept of strategic balance is that to which Lasker referred as "the theory of Steinitz."
