{Das Superturnier des Jahres fand anlässlich der Weltausstellung in Paris
statt und wurde in überlegener Manier von Lasker gewonnen. Zwei
Schönheitspreise waren ausgesetzt (von Baron Albert von Rothschild). Einen
davon sicherte sich der Leipziger Jaques Mieses, der ob seines schneidigen
Angriffsstils gefürchtet war, doch für große Turniersiege reichte es bei ihm
selten.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. d3 d6 5. f4 {Das ist eine beliebte
