LCM was quite different to even other contemporary magazines, in that it often devoted much space to chess-related prose as well as the normal output of games (many annotated by Lasker) and problems. Amongst the many news items concerning American clubs and tournaments is a snippet about the famous Hastings and St. Leonards chess club and its tour of seven European cities.

As well as the usual reports, lengthy prose pieces were a regular feature. Two pieces entitled the elephant game explain the rules and strategy of Chinese Chess, whilst an article on women players criticises separate ladies' clubs as perpetuating mediocrity and advocates integrated tournaments between the sexes.

Emanuel Lasker (Ed)
"The latest stoutly-bound reprint of Lasker's journal contains the usual entertaining pot-pourri of annotated games, chess-related fiction, and reports from around the world. Thus, while Lasker defeats Frank Marshall in a title match, and rails against some organizers who hoard game scores and charge for their publication, at the Shanghai Chess Club the colonial players pride themselves on their enlightened approach: ""We are a very democratic assembly. No race or class distinctions are permitted - hence the ladies hold aloof. Moreover they can't play, so it doesn't matter much."" Another sign of the times is shown in the penchant for invention in this case the less-than-serious illustrated plans for ""The Chess See-Saw"" from January 1907. Moving on from the reasonable theorem that ""Chess clocks are pivoted. Why not pivot the players also? A series of platforms and ropes elevate the players high above the board after each move, thus ensuring that ""the player engaged ion his move is not hindered by the smoking, fidgeting coughing chuckling, snoring or whistling of his opponent."" No doubt FIDE are currently considering a digital version for the new millenium. (Reviewed by BCM)"

"Amongst the items of interest are Lasker's in-depth review of his match with Marshall, and an incredible fable of an obsessed German ""chess town"" named Strobeck (pages 6-7), where ""no native of the town is allowed to marry a girl from any of the surrounding villages if she is not a first-class chess player, under penalty of a heavy fine.""

"Lasker's journal especially shone in its attention devoted to chess-related prose, such as the tale of General Rahl (p.267), the unfortunate English general in the American was of independence who (engrossed in a chess game) ignored the fateful note telling him of George Washington's approach. Elsewhere, we learn of a chess analogy with American football (p.87) and of King Oscar II of Sweden's ""second solution"" to a chess problem on top of his anniversary cake (p.192). He cut it with his cake knife, ""cleaving the black king in twain."". (Reviewed by BCM)"

"Quaintly sub-titled ""a monthly record of chess science and chess doings"", this magazine was a lively and chatty chronicle of chess in the early part of this century. There is in/depth coverage of the great Prague 1908 tournament (won by Duras and Schlechter), with performance assessments of all the competitors. Lasker's peregrination through Europe then moves on to Duesseldorf and his long-awaited showdown with Tarrasch (which, from the fifth game onward, moved to Munich). The magazine does not eschew giving results of the humblest regional and club competitions, making it a tremendous source for the historian. There is also a fascinating nine-page article on Howard Staunton by H.J.R. Murray, originally published in British Chess Magazine. (Reviewed by BCM)"
