I would agree with Jimmy that the Lasker book does not contain enough value for an experienced player. I like the capablanca book then more in that category of books.
Should I Buy "Lasker's Manual of Chess"?
Sort:
Canadian GM Kevin Spraggett says that Lasker's Manual is one of his favourite books. It's a thick book that touches on a wide range of topics, e.g. Steinitz's ideas on when and when not to attack, the principle of economy, combinations. In its time, it was a very important book. If you like chess history, you'd probably like it.
Lasker also wrote a primer which is more for beginners.
I'm undecided as to whether or not to buy "Lasker's Manual of Chess". From amazon.com's reviews it had positive reception, but I'm already 2000+ USCF/FIDE and I don't know if the material will be a worthwhile read. I heard it talks about how the pieces move and how to play the opening but I already know how the pieces move and openings from the past are seriously outdated compared to today. Should I get this book despite my rating?
