Chess Tactics: Edward Lasker - G. Thomas (London, 1912)

Interesting chess game presented by Serguei Vorojtsov. Subscribe to my channel & newsletter at http://vorojtsov.com/mail-list-sv/?p=subscribe High resolution videos are available here: http://vorojtsov.com/shop/ -------------------------------------------- Edward Lasker (Kempen, December 3, 1885 -- New York, March 25, 1981) was a leading American chess and Go player. He was awarded the title of International Master of chess by FIDE. Lasker was an engineer by profession, and an author. Edward Lasker published several books on American checkers, chess, and Go. He won five U.S. Open Chess Championships (1916, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1921). His best result was his narrow 8.5--9.5 loss in a match with Frank Marshall for the U.S. Championship in 1923. For that, Lasker was invited to participate in the legendary New York chess tournament in 1924, facing world-class masters like Alekhine, Capablanca, Rubinstein, Emanuel Lasker (a distant cousin), and Réti. -------------------------------------------- His most famous game is probably the queen sacrifice and king hunt against Sir George Thomas. Thomas said, "That was very nice", and Lasker was touched by his sportsmanship when it was translated into German (he had yet to learn English). But in his account, he gave a position missing the white pawn on d4, so Lasker contrasted Thomas's reaction with a typical reaction that other opponents would have given, "You were lucky ..." -------------------------------------------- He was friends with former World chess champion Emanuel Lasker. Some controversy exists as to whether they were related. Edward Lasker wrote in his memoirs of the New York 1924 tournament as published in the March 1974 edition of Chess Life magazine: "I did not discover that we were actually related until he (Emanuel Lasker) told me shortly before his death that someone had shown him a Lasker family tree on one of whose branches I was dangling."

Else Lasker Schüler "An mein Kind"

November 20, 2008 - 7:51 am No Comments

Ein tieftrauriges Gedicht, geschrieben aus Anlass des Todes des Sohnes von Else Lasker Schüler 1927. Die ergreifende Rezitation wurde gesprochen von Maria Becker (1958) Text: An mein Kind Immer wieder wirst du mir Im scheidenden Jahre sterben, mein Kind, Wenn das Laub zerfließt Und die Zweige schmal werden. Mit den roten Rose Hast du den Tod bitter gekostet, Nicht ein einziges welkendes Pochen Blieb dir erspart. Darum weine ich sehr, ewiglich..... In der Nacht meines Herzens. Noch seufzen aus mir die Schlummerlieder, Die dich in den Todesschlaf schluchzten, Und meine Augen wenden sich nicht mehr Der Welt zu; Das Grün des Laubes tut ihnen weh. — Aber der Ewige wohnt in mir. Die Liebe zu dir ist das Bildnis, Das man sich von Gott machen darf. Ich sah auch die Engel im Weinen, Im Wind und im Schneeregen.

Chess Game Theme One: Lasker Rooks

November 20, 2008 - 7:51 am No Comments

John Geder - Jon Zimmermann Bogo Indian Defense - Double Retreat 0-1 Check this out. My theme here is the use of diagonals and files... mainly with bishops and Lasker rooks, respectively. Me, black, retreated two of my pieces in order to remaneuver in counter queenside, to attack the center. Black played too cautiously and White gave up some key squares... mainly d5, which is why 2. c4 is played. Enjoy, leave comments, questions and ridicule and congratulations!!!

Else Lasker - Schüler "Ein Liebeslied"

November 20, 2008 - 7:51 am No Comments

wunderbares Gedicht aus dem Dichterinnen Projekt Text: Ein Liebeslied Else Lasker-Schüler Komm zu mir in der Nacht - wir schlafen eng verschlungen. Müde bin ich sehr, vom Wachen einsam. Ein fremder Vogel hat in dunkler Frühe schon gesungen, Als noch mein Traum mit sich und mir gerungen. Es öffnen Blumen sich vor allen Quellen und färben sich mit deiner Augen Immortellen... Komm zu mir in der Nacht auf Sieben- sternenschuhen In Liebe eingehüllt spät in mein Zelt. Es steigen Monde aus verstaubten Himmelstruhen. Wir wollen wie zwei seltene Tiere liebesruhen Im hohen Rohre hinter dieser Welt Rezitation: Gudrun Landgrebe Bild 1: William Waterhouse Bild 2: Edvard Munch Bild 3: Henri Toulouse Lautrec Bild 4: Johann Heinrich Füssli Bild 5: Andrew Wyeth Bild 6: Foto Else Lasker-Schüler
