"That Lasker was a great fighter is an observation which is common to all studies of his play. Nobody can estimate what enormous will-power went into Lasker's fighting ability; and yet at the core of this quality was his belief that each position is unique, that it has some hidden aspect which the skeptic, the man of resource, will finally unearth."
