probably would've become world chess champion if it weren't for WW1

The big problem was not so much WW1, as lack of funding for match. Lasker and Rubinstein had the terms of a title match agreed, but couldn't get clubs interested in funding and hosting it. A great shame all round - it would have been an incredible match.
