Talk:Emanuel Lasker

Evidence

Reference N° 62. There is no mention of David Hilbert on that source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.1.47.224 (talk) 19:07, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

"Recent analysis, however, indicates that he was ahead of his time and used a more flexible approach than his contemporaries, which mystified many of them." What recent analysis? By whom? When? This should have a source. Tpkatsa (talk) 19:53, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

I think it's difficult to briefly summarize the fairly extensive discussion in the Emanuel Lasker#Assessment section, but this part of the lead could probably be improved. I'm not sure that that sentence is the best bit from the assessment section to put in the lead. Quale (talk) 22:51, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Historians debate or not?

This is for Quale to explain their repeated reversion, after I explained and asked not to. Quale, you just reverted without explanation, and instead asked me not to! Amazing. I see on your talk page people have objected to you doing this before - repeatedly reverting without explanation. I have explained (briefly) why I thought those links were better deleted - you have referred to such things as what appeared in a Ray Keene book as 'historians debating'. Which strikes me as ludicrous. If there is the actual debate of historians that you claim, then including reference to a Keene book is superfluous. If not, it's doing nothing but misleading. I ask you again not to just revert without explanation as you have already done once. I see you have contributed to a lot of chess pages, so maybe you feel like you can do whatever you like on here without being civil, or justifying your actions at all. I feel you have acted entirely inappropriately. I deleted what I did because I felt it improved the page, and I've explained why. Now it's your turn. 110.20.168.169 (talk) 05:11, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

You removed four cites from the page, not just one cite by Keene. Justify removal of all four, please. Your edit comment "Sorry, but to portray such things as an error in a Keene book as historians disagreeing about something, is just silly" does not justify removing four cites. In fact there has been disagreement by chess writers whether the 1909 Janowski match was for the WC, although I think it's generally agreed today that it was not. Probably the text describing that issue can be improved substantially both here and at World Chess Championship 1910 (Lasker–Janowski), but in my opinion removing it completely is not an improvement. Quale (talk) 03:29, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Emanuel Lasker: The Life of a Chess Master by Dr. J. Hannak, first published in 1959, also says that the 1909 match was for the title, but Winter's research looks convincing to me. I like the statement at World Chess Championship 1910 (Lasker–Janowski): "The longer 1909 match has sometimes been called a world championship match, but research by Edward Winter indicates that the title was not at stake."

Birth place in Infobox

@Oliszydlowski and GiantSnowman: I was following this earlier edit. But it is true, I do not know of an explicit rule that would require this; it only seems natural, given the abbreviated nature of everything in the infobox. Bruce leverett (talk) 05:00, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
