Though born in Germany, Lasker also wrote and spoke English very
well, and spent much time in both England and America.
<< How do ve know zhat zie translazion is really correkt? >>
If he wrote it in English, no translation was necessary.
<< And who vast zie intended audience for zhis book, vhen it wast
actually written? >>
As noted earlier in this thread, and by Louis Blair on page 272 of
Winter's "Chess Explorations," the book in question has been issued
under two titles: "Lasker's Chess Primer" and "Lasker's How to Play
Chess." Therefore it seems clear that the intended audience is chess
beginners.
