Lasker - 2nd World Champion
Emanuel Lasker - A dashing young man with a passion for philosophy appeared on the global
stage in 1894 to challenge the reigning World Chess Champion Wilhelm Steinitz.
Emanuel Lasker, 25, faced the 58 year old Steinitz in a three city, grueling
match, in which the first man to achieve 10 outright wins would wear the crown
of World Chess Champion.
The first six games of the match were a head-to-head struggle, with each man
winning two games and drawing two games. Then Lasker gathered his resources and
went on to win the next two games, charging ahead to capture the title. Lasker
became the 2nd World Champion in Montreal, with a score of ten games to five
with four games drawn. He would retain the World Chess Championship title for a
incredible record of 27 years.
