I’m looking for inspiration and direction at this point. I decided to put it out to my readers and will tally the votes over the next week or so.
Here are the Choices(due to my library):
A: Finish what I started with Lone Pine 1975 picking up where I left off?
B: St. Petersburg 1909 ( Book notated by Lasker who played. Other top players include Rubinstein, Speilmann, Teichman, and Schlecter to name only a few)
C: A review of some of the classic games out of Howard Staunton’s Chess Player’s Handbook ( vintage stuff but sure to please the Romantic and Classical era buffs).
D: A Deep dive of the games of Emanuel Lasker’s games of 1889-1914 ( I probably would round it off to include NY 1924 games as well).
School’s back in session. Blunderprone’s Magical History tour steam locomotive is stoking the burners with a fresh pile of coal and taking on passengers. Let me know which destination you prefer and I will set the course and clear the tracks.
ALL ABOARD!!!!!

My vote goes to Lone Pine
St Petersburg. Although you might enjoy finishing Lone Pines.
In addition to circling? I finished c1 last night.
I guess I'll say A, since that was the most contemporary, relevant to today's history.
Games-wise, definitely D, Lasker. History-wise, probably A. :-) Of course, Lasker was one of the most interesting players, history-wise.
I thought you did a great job of covering Lone Pine, but yeah if there is more there in the tank, player-wise, I wouldn't mind hearing those stories. ;-D
Hmm. Those are all good choices! I love Lasker. Gotta say B or D. Uhmm.. D!
ABCD
The D's are winning over on my mirrored site at Chess.com
They are all kind of tempting. St. Petersburg, but only if you thoroughly cover how Rasputin mind-controlled the participants so "his" guy would win.
Lone Pine of course :-)
