"Modern Chess Strategy: With an Appendix on Go" by Edward Lasker About the Book: Author: Edward Lasker, a German-American chess and Go player, engineer, and author. Publisher: David McKay Company, Philadelphia. Notable Feature: Includes an appendix on Go, the ancient Asian board game, which was uncommon in Western chess books at the time. Content Overview: Focus: This book primarily explores advanced principles of chess strategy, including positional play, combinations, and endgame techniques. Style: Lasker presents clear, logical explanations, often using famous games as examples. Audience: Intermediate to advanced chess players seeking to deepen their strategic understanding. Appendix on Go: Introduces the rules, strategies, and philosophical underpinnings of Go, reflecting Lasker s broader interest in board games and analytical thinking. Edward Lasker was a strong player in his own right and a contemporary of the world champion Emanuel Lasker (though not closely related). His contributions helped popularize both chess and Go in the United States during the early 20th century.
