10/28/2025 – Some days ago, we presented the tough and complex battle that ensued between Emanuel Lasker and Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin. In a semi-endgame the young German world champion held the pair of bishops, but it was the Russian forefighter with the pair of knights who emerged victorious in the end. The game has been the subject of controversy for 130 years, so we asked readers five questions about critical positions to shed some more light on it.

10/12/2025 – Already in the second round of the famous Hastings tournament of 1895, two of the favourites faced each other in a tough and complex battle. After just thirteen moves, the game had reached a semi-endgame with two rooks and two minor pieces each. Lasker held the pair of bishops, but it was Chigorin with the pair of knights who emerged victorious in the end. The game made history, and its course has been interpreted very differently over time. We invite our readers to join us in the search for new insights.
