See our pages with many corrections to late-career Steinitz games. Several involve Lasker too.

These instructive articles remain available.
Senior World Championship details now available
FIDE have at last published the regulations for the individual world seniors championships. See our Seniors news page. Visit our senior tournament calendar for listings of tournaments for senior players later this year and in 2027.
Our database research
We continue to explore the career of Carl Schlechter and have many new findings, some of which we hope to post here later this summer. We intend to begin with the Hastings 1895 tournament (in which he played) because there are many problems about the record of that event which we are trying to resolve.
Please do not send us any money
Occasionally people send us money (which we immediately refund) for our correspondence chess database UltraCorr. That was withdrawn from sale over a year ago.
