Annotated Games

Lasker v. Steinitz

World Championship Match
New York, Philadelphia, and Montreal 1894


In 1894 the defending World Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, Champion for the preceding 28 years, played a match for the title with Emmanuel Lasker.  The match was won by Lasker, who would go on to hold the title for 27 years himself, by a score of +10 -5 =4.  We've gathered the scores of these 19 games together, along with annotations by both combatants as well as American Champion Jackson Showalter - The Kentucky Lion.  Each game can be followed on the screen using the diagrams provided, or on an interactive javascript board.
