World Chess Championship 1910 (Lasker-Janowski)
- World Chess Championship 1910 (Lasker-Janowski)
Emanuel Lasker faced David Janowski in the second 1910 World Chess Championship. It was played from November 8 to December 8, 1910 in Berlin, Lasker successfully defending his title.
Background
Lasker and Janowski played two exhibition matches in 1909, the first drawn (+2 -2) and the second won convicingly by Laster (+7 =2 -1). The longer 1909 match has sometimes been called a world championship match, [For instance: "From Morphy to Fischer", Israel Horowitz, Batsford 1973, p. 64; "The Centenary Match - Kasparov-Karpov III", Raymond Keene and David Goodman, Batsford 1986] but research by Edward Winter indicates that the title was not at stake.
