The World Chess Championship 1896–1897 was a match for the World Chess Championship , contested between Emanuel Lasker and Wilhelm Steinitz . It was played in Moscow between November 6, 1896, and January 14, 1897. Lasker won by a score of 10 wins to 2 (with 5 draws), thus retaining his title.
Background
[ edit ]
Lasker had won the world title from Steinitz in 1894 , and this was his first time defending the world title. At the Saint Petersburg 1895–96 chess tournament , Steinitz came second behind Lasker, ahead of other potential challengers Harry Nelson Pillsbury and Mikhail Chigorin . This allowed Steinitz to raise support for a rematch.[1]
Results
[ edit ]
The first player to win 10 games would be champion. Lasker won by 10 games to 2, with 5 draws.
