One of them was by the translator, Heinrich Fraenkel, better known as Assiac. <BR/><BR/>In C.N. 4705, Winter quoted Hannak, 'He died next day, on 13 January 1941’, and then noted that Lasker died on 11 January 1941. This also appears to be translator error. The German edition gives the correct date. - MarkMark Weekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101044127493771263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27359163.post-8011295037248158742007-02-21T06:27:00.000+01:002007-02-21T06:27:00.000+01:00I recall a 'Chess Note' where E.

According to him, not a good idea to trust the biographical <I>or</I> chess details...<BR/><BR/>I have read the book, and enjoyed it, however. Too bad it's not very reliable.Robert Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357942424904415208noreply@blogger.com
