the 2nd official World Champion of chess.
White to move and win!

hint: White must manuever into a position which allows him to
sacrifice his rook for the sake of promoting his pawn.

This study, along with three other Lasker compositions, is given on
page 215 of "The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker" (edited by Ken
Whyld, The Chess Player, Nottingham UK, 1998). It was first published
in Deutsches Wochenschach in 1890, and according to Whyld it was
"perhaps inspired by Charlick's analysis of a similar position arising
during the game Tullidge-Wilton, Adelaide 1887."
One minor difference: Whyld has the white king on c8, not a8, at the
start. However, this seems not to matter; after 1.Kb7 there is no
difference. 1.Kb8 also works in either case.

His first name is Emanuel. I have never seen this study associated
with Emanuel Lasker's name before. Which book did you see it in?
