Description:
The international chess congress at St. Petersburg, Russia, was played early in 1909 at the cusp between two generations in the chess world. Chigorin and Pillsbury were no more; the rise of Alekhine and Capablanca was just over the horizon. The importance of the tournament is increased by the fact that it was the only one Dr. Emanuel Lasker (then the world champion) contested between Cambridge Springs 1904 and the 1914 St. Petersburg event; he was concentrating on matches, exhibition tours, and non-chess activities. The tournament featured a duel between Lasker and the emerging talent, Akiva Rubinstein, which certainly made up for the absence of three men who challenged for the world title in the 1900s: Tarrasch, Janowski, and Marshall. The result encouraged Rubinstein to seek a title match himself, but unfortunately it never happened.
