Lasker’s Simultaneous Exhibitions

Like most great champions of the past, Emanuel Lasker played countless simultaneous exhibitions. This page attempts to list these exhibitions, fully understanding that this endeavor will never be fully completed. New insights and sources are to be added at regular intervals.

The starting point is the table put together by Ken Whyld in his 1998 book The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker, pp. 9–13 (hereafter cited as Whyld98). Since then, over 150 further exhibitions have come to light and were added to the list; in addition, numerous corrections have been made. The Quarterly for Chess History by Vlastimil Fiala also contains various items dealing with Lasker’s exhibitions (see issues no. 4, 6, 9, 16, 17, 18, 21, 23 etc.); unfortunately they cannot be fully relied upon (e.g. for the performance in Liverpool on 28 January 1895, both the month and the result were misprinted). In general, no attempt has been made to point out mistakes by earlier compilers.

The number of sources given below varies and does not claim to be exhaustive, but wherever possible at least one relevant contemporary source has been cited.

Note: For any additions and corrections, please use the feedback page (corrections and various additions have been received with thanks from Peter Anderberg, Steven Davies, Isaac Fieri, Michael Kühl, Nick Pope, Alan Smith).

Up to 1899

1889

As a young student in Berlin, Lasker probably also gave some informal chess exhibitions, but no evidence has been preserved.
Whyld98 dated a first simultaneous exhibition to Amsterdam, August/September 1889, presumably based on game no. 19 (p. 17 in Whyld’s Lasker book). The source for that game read: “Probably at time of tournament [i.e. 26 August–1 September]. Lothar Schmid, Lipke Manuscript.” The details of that manuscript are not known, but the game in question was printed in the Magdeburgische Zeitung, 17 October 1889, without indication of source or circumstances except that it had been played during the Amsterdam congress (information kindly provided by Peter Anderberg). Thus, there does not seem to be any hard evidence for the game being played in a simultaneous exhibition and it seems rather doubtful that such an exhibition took place.

7 Sep 1890Sonnegg (blindfold)2200During the Graz tournament, on an outing to Sonnegg, Lasker played and won two blindfold games. The Lesehalle (pointed out by Peter Anderberg) talked about a “production”. Whether the two games were played concurrently is not entirely clear.Oesterreichische Lesehalle, November 1890, p. 340
1891

From 3 to 30 August 1891 Lasker performed almost daily at the “German Exhibition” at Earls Court in London, usually contesting four games simultaneously, with fresh opponents taking any vacant seats. No complete record of these encounters exists, only the larger extra exhibitions were reported on.
A second series started on 19 September, but no detailed information was preserved.

3–30 Aug 1891London, German Exhibition (fourfold)200+ca. 200?4The London Daily News, 8 August 1891, noted that Lasker had won all games on the previous day, bringing his overall score to 79 wins and 1 draw, whereas the London Evening News and Post of the same day mentioned that Lasker had won so far over 80 games, ceding only one draw to Miss Notts. On 12 August Lasker had a “bad quarter-of-an-hour,” when against a strong quartet he won only one and lost the other three games (see London Evening News and Post, 14 and 15 August 1891, and British Chess Magazine, September 1891, p. 401).
The total given here is based on a note in the Western Morning News, indicating that in total Lasker had played over 200 games at the German Exhibition, losing only four (sic).

Lasker’s tour of the United States began with set games against strong amateurs in New York and was complemented by simultaneous exhibitions, lectures and a brief series of games with Showalter. A longer stay in Philadelphia at the end of the year also saw several one-on-one encounters and two simultaneous exhibitions.

Lasker stayed for about a month in Havana, where he played a series of small matches and offhand games. Only one simultaneous exhibition seems to have been arranged. Whyld98 also listed a second blindfold simultaneous exhibition on 10 February 1893 in Havana (without any results), but this appears to be a mix-up as Lasker just played two individual blindfold games on 10 and 11 February (The Sun, 21 February 1893).
Later Lasker spent several months in New Orleans, Chicago, and Kentucky, before returing to New York in August, where he issued a challenge to Steinitz, played several serious individual games, and won the “impromptu” tournament in the first half of October.

Ahead of the world championship match with Steinitz (played from March to May in New York, Philadelphia, and Montreal), Lasker put in only very few public appearances. After winning the title, he sought rest and limited his public appearances. He planned several exhibitions in late fall in the United Kingdom, but fell seriously ill with typhoid fever and had to cancel all plans.

A blindfold exhibition on four boards (+3 =0 –1) given in Berlin, 26 November 1895, is occasionally attributed to Lasker (e.g. in The Standard, 28 November 1895), but it was actually performed by his brother Berthold (see e.g. Altonaer Nachrichten, 30 November 1895).

Some confusion exists around Lasker’s Moscow exhibitions in February 1896. Whyld98 has two spurios entries on 4 and 6 February and the exhibition of 3 February is dated 5 February. Note that all dates given here are in the Western calendar style.

There seems to be no hard evidence for an exhibition in Newport in mid-November (listed in Whyld98, without any results). Lasker did give a lecture, however, at Newport, Monouthshire around the 18th of November (mentioned e.g. in the Northern Whig, 24 November 1898).

The results of Lasker’s Moscow stay are again the subject of much confusion. For instance, Whyld listed at simultaneous exhibition on 12 February 1899, but Lasker only played a consultation game on that day. Earlier, on 7 February, he played several offhand games and the result may have been 10 wins, one draw and one loss (or a second draw). His overall results in Moscow (including consultation games) were reported as +102 =19 –9, with 3 games undecided (see Novoye Vremya, 15 [27] February 1899, and Russkiye Vedomosti, 11 [23] February 1899).

In 1901 Lasker took up residence in Manchester. It is likely that in his position as a chess teacher at the North Manchester Club he also gave some informal exhibitions that were not mentioned in the press. Whyld98 lists additional exhibitions which, however, seem to be duplicates.

An additional exhibition mentioned by Whyld (Memphis in March) could not be corroborated, although reports confirm that Lasker visited the place on his tour. See also the brief summary in Lasker’s Chess Magazine, April 1906, p. 246. Later in the year, Lasker was expected for an exhibition in Washington D.C. on 22 November, but did not make it on time and it does not seem like the exhibition was played on the following day either.

Lasker’s tour after the Marshall match was also to contain an exhibition at Sioux City, but he was unable to show up due to illness (Sioux City Journal, 12 June 1907). Later that year, although Lasker visited the Franklin C.C. in Philadelphia on 22-23 November, he did not give a simultaneous exhibition on that occasion.

1908

The year saw Lasker’s largest tour of all. According to the London Evening Standard, 8 May 1908, the total of the British tour was 64 exhibitions with 1349 games resulting in +1094 =196 –60. In 28 exhibitions Lasker did not lose a single game; in addition, eight consultation games resulted in a score of +7 =1 –0. Presumably, these figures were provided by Lasker himself or his tour manager C.S. Howell. The figures match the figures given below quite well.

On Lasker’s trip to the United States in October/November (which also served as some sort of honeymoon), he made some appearances that were not connected with a simultaneous exhibition (Memphis on 25 October and Brooklyn Institute of Arts & Sciences on 4 November). Other stops (Kansas City, Chicago) were planned but seem not to have materialized in the end. Still, one exhibition is possibly missing as the overall result was reported in the New York Sun (according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, 26 November 1911, as +230 =20 –3 (sic!).

Whyld98 listed an exhibition in Carlsbad, 21 August 1915, but while Dörfler & Schindler, Der Schachkongress zu Braunau, Leipzig 1926, pp. 20-21, gave a game lost by Lasker on that day in Carlsbad against Victor Tietz, no evidence for this being from an actual simultaneous exhibition has been found. Nor did 35 Jahre Karlsbader Schachklub (1934) contain any reference to Lasker’s stay in 1915.

Whyld98 also lists a fifty-board exhibition at the New York Stuyvesant C.C., ca. May 1924, but the only evidence appears to be a report half a century later by Norman Lessing (Saidy & Lessing, The World of Chess, 1974, pp. 133–135), and it may well be a mixup with an exhibition at the same club four years later.

1925

Lasker’s 1925 exhibitions have been researched by Dr. Gerhard Drebes in Schleswig, and an overview was printed in Der Flensburger Schachklub von 1876 im Spiegel der Zeit (2010) by Jürgen Nickel, p. 543. It is referred to below as “Nickel, Flensburger Schachklub, p. 543.” Still, it remains one of the least covered tours of Lasker’s, and presumably quite a few exhibitions are still missing in this table.

1926

The large 1926 US tour was organized by Herman Helms, who also reported most of the results in either the Brooklyn Eagle or the American Chess Bulletin. Whyld98 also lists a number of other planned stops on Lasker’s tour (St. Louis, Salt Lake City, Monroe, Louisville, Pittsburgh), but no evidence for actual simultaneous exhibitions in those places have turned up. For example, Lasker appeared on 5 April at the Riverside Club in Monroe, but the report in the American Chess Bulletin, April 1926, p. 52, suggests that he played more casually on the occasion.
An exhibition in early August 1926 in Ströbeck was given by Berthold Lasker and not Emanuel as was occasionally reported (e.g. by Düsseldorfer Stadt-Anzeiger, 29 August 1926). Berthold wrote an article on the occasion for the Vossische Zeitung at the time.

In January 1936, Lasker probably gave one or two further exhibitions in Leningrad, details of which are missing. For example, the USSR Central Chess Club Bulletin, no. 2–3, Februrary-March 1970, p. 17, spoke of a 30-board exhibition in the LDKA (Leningrad House of the Red Army). Shakhmatny Peterburg, March 2002, pp. 36f., had some memoirs of a séance at the Printers’ House in Leningrad (but at least the date given, 19 January, must be mistaken as Lasker was back in Moscow then).
