A bright spot in an otherwise garbage week. I follow chess news pretty closely and Peter always has some fun color or details I would have otherwise missed.

Highly recommended

With Lazavik-Gurel making the rounds, it shouldn't be hard to find what Arthur de Winter missed in his black game vs. Dimitri Reinderman (Groningen 2023).
