Local Chess players who have at different times been entertained with the beautiful games of Dr. Lasker, and who have come into personal contact with him over the board, will be pleased to learn that he is still hearty and well. In a cheery letter, he refers to his old-time visits to this city, and other incidents.
“I have,” he concludes, “given up serious chess, because I need the time for other work, but occasionally I read chess games and look at problems and endings. I enjoy all that is artistic and that merits attention.”
After holding the championship of the world for 26 years and enriching the pages of chess literature with immortal games, one should not grudge the doctor his well-earned retirement.
