From November 8 to December 8, 1910, a World Chess Championship match was played in Berlin between the champion Emanuel Lasker and the challenger David Janowski. It was the second world championship match played in 1910, following Lasker's title defense against Carl Schlechter earlier that year. Lasker successfully defended his title, with the score—Lasker winning 8 games, Janowski winning none, and 3 draws—being the most one-sided in World Chess Championship history.

Lasker and Janowski played two exhibition matches in 1909, the first drawn (+2 -2) and the second won convincingly by Lasker (+7 =2 -1). The longer 1909 match has sometimes been called a world championship match,[1] but research by Edward Winter indicates that the title was not at stake.[2]
The first player to win eight games would be World Champion.
