"The ELO calculations are Jeff Sonas' ... Lasker's level of domination
did not reach that of Capablanca."

I have high regard for Mr. Sonas' work, but frankly I just don't see
that the record bears out this particular conclusion. Nor, it appears,
does Elo's graph on pages 88-89 of "The Rating of Chessplayers Past
and Present." The overall distance between Lasker's rating arc and
those of his most important contemporaries is noticeably greater, for
a longer period of time, than Capablanca's.
