Some of his warnings about showing positions in the wrong chronological order were simply ignored as ‘wide shot followed by close-up’ stuff was considered more important.

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
I was about to upload the second episode when I heard about Danya and couldn't get myself to sharing it. Still in shock. Anyway, here it is. New name also.
