Lasker Draws Marshall.
Dr. Emanuel Lasker, champion from 1894 to 1920, came to the United States about two years ago for a national tour. After the schedule, he intended to take over a mathematics professorship at a Soviet university, but the European turmoil caused a change in his plans.
Following a series of lectures on chess philosophy and mathematics in New York, the former world champion began a series of match games with Frank J. Marshall, retired United States champion. Marshall won the first game. The second, a draw, is given here. On the defensive, Marshall counters with an unusual, although sound, line of tactical maneuvers that only a true master may follow with success.
