    „Wilhelm Steinitz“ (WM 1886-1894) war ein Pionier und gewissenhafter Forscher. Darin war er all seinen Zeitgenossen überlegen„ (Jose Raoul Capablanca). “Der größte Schachweltmeister ist unbestritten Emanuel Lasker (WM 1894-1921). Auf dem Schachbrett vollbrachte er das Unmögliche" (Michail Tal). Der zweite Weltmeister Emanuel Lasker (1868-1941) hatte 27 Jahre lang die Schachkrone inne. Ein absoluter Rekord!
