I remember a chess tutorial book that had an opening story that described some famous chess player in the early 1900, (maybe lasker?), someone who was poor, and a rich guy offered him money to make some of his opening moves that would lead to the rich guy getting his queen early in the game. This way he could say he beat a great chess player, but he still lost anyway. The moral of the story being to never give up.

Does anyone know which book that was?
