statistical ranking systems place lasker high among the greatest players of all time. the book "warriors of the mind" places him sixth, behind garry kasparov, anatoly karpov, fischer, mikhail botvinnik and capablanca. in his 1978 book "the rating of chessplayers, past and present", arpad elo gave retrospective ratings to players based on their performance over the best five-year span of their career. he concluded that lasker was the joint second strongest player of those surveyed (tied with botvinnik and behind capablanca). the most up-to-date system, chessmetrics, is rather sensitive to the length of the periods being compared, and ranks lasker between fifth and second strongest of all time for peak periods ranging in length from one to twenty years. its author, the statistician jeff sonas, concluded that only kasparov and karpov surpassed lasker's long-term dominance of the game. by chessmetrics' reckoning, lasker was the number 1 player in 292 different months—a total of over 24 years. his first no. 1 rank was in june 1890, and his last in december 1926—a span of 36½ years. chessmetrics also considers him the strongest 67-year-old in history: in december 1935, at age 67 years and 0 months, his rating was 2691 (number 7 in the world), well above second-place viktor korchnoi's rating at that age (2660, number 39 in the world, in march 1998).
