The winner of the match would be the first to win 10 games. Steinitz was 58 years old; Lasker was 26. Lasker later wrote in his Manual (p.187) of SteinitzHe was a thinker worthy of a seat in the halls of a University. A player, as the world believed he was, he was not; his studious temperament made that impossible; and thus he was conquered by a player and in the end little valued by the world, he died. And I who vanquished him must see to it that his great achievement, his theories should find justice, and I must avenge the wrongs he suffered.
