This book is the second part of the trilogy about the second world chess champion, Emanuel Lasker.

In this second volume, Mihail Marin and John Donaldson shed new light on some of Lasker's most important encounters in the middle of his chess career, beginning with the famous tenth match against Carl Schlechter and culminating in his famous victory at New York in 1924. Richard Forster examines the bitter consequences of this crucial event, which contributed to Lasker's subsequent long retirement from chess.

The volume also provides an in-depth look at Lasker's involvement in various mind games beyond chess, with expert analyses of his achievements and contributions to Go and Bridge by Theo van Ees/Christian Wohlfarth and Bob van de Velde. Wolfang Angerstein contributes a detailed essay on Lasker's own board game Lasca, and Lasker's contributions to the emerging field of game theory are clearly laid out by Jörg Bewersdorff. Finally, Lasker's life in the United States and Berlin between 1902 and 1914, as well as his later years in Holland, are covered with much new biographical insight by Michael Negele, Richard Forster, and Bob van de Velde, with a special contribution by Floribert Baudet on Lasker's unique friendship with the mathematician Han Baudet.
