Without error, there can be no brilliancy (Lasker) - Source?
Sort:
Hello everyone!
One of my favourite players is Emmanuel Lasker. Researching about his life, I ended up finding one of his famous quotes (in several chess websites), which I've become fascinated about: "Without error, there can be no brilliancy".
However, I'm having a hard time to find a source where he actually said/wrote those words. Was it a book? A magazine? Was it something other people witnessed him saying?
Does anyone have any information on this?
Thanks a lot!
