Emanuel Lasker was a German chess player who was World Chess Champion for 27 years, from 1894 to 1921, the longest reign of any officially recognized World Chess Champion in history. The Ruy Lopez remains the most commonly used opening amongst the open games in master play. Due to the difficulty for Black in achieving equality, a common nickname for the opening is "The Spanish Torture".
