[edit] Background
Lasker and Janowski played two exhibition matches in 1909, the first drawn (+2 -2) and the second won convicingly by Laster (+7 =2 -1). The longer 1909 match has sometimes been called a world championship match,[1] but research by Edward Winter indicates that the title was not at stake.[2]
[edit] Results
The first player to win eight games would be World Champion.
