Did Lasker say or write this phrase?
https://www.chesshistory.com/winter/winter100.html#7837._A_better_move
A version of the quote appears in the work of Pedro Damiãno (1512) and was repeated by such a writer as Rodrigo Lopez (I think others, too—lots of advice was copied from one writer to another). The supposition that Lasker repeated this ancient maxim has not been verified by any citations to his writing.
Crediting Lasker with the advice is an example of historical confusion.
