Nürnberg 1896 should have become a German Chess Congress, but the local chess club took over the organisation and included no minor groups. Thirty-nine players wanted to participate in the master competition, nineteen were allowed. When Burn withdrew, Charousek took his place. The contest coincided with the Bayerischen Landesausstellung.
Nineteen rounds were played in the premises of the Museum Society from 20 vii until 9 viii. A tempo of thirty moves in two hours was applied in the morning. Games were resumed in the afternoon with a time limit of fifteen moves per hour and continued until the end. The main prizes went to Lasker (3000 M), Maróczy (2000 M), Tarrasch and Pillsbury (each 1250 M), Janowsky (600 M), Steinitz (300 M), Walbrodt and Schlechter (each 100 M). The level and rules were similar to Hastings 1895.

Lasker had a better result than in Hastings, because he won by one point instead of trailing the winner by the same margin. The world champion was on his way to complete superiority in super tournaments. Tarrasch regarded five games won by Lasker as ‘lucky’. An important example was Lasker - Chigorin. Tarrasch underestimated the importance of tactics. Later Lasker was characterised as a ‘psychologist’, who made errors in order to confuse the opponent. That was even more naive.
