Humbled and thrilled to welcome the chess legend Peter Svidler to the channel to solve a cryptic crossword with me. The guy is a genius and a total delight. And I'm wondering if I can now claim a Morphy Number of 5?!

We'd love to have you on Cracking The Cryptic and we could solve a crossword together if you like? It would be a huge privilege for us and I'd hope you would enjoy it.

Do drop us an email (crackingthecryptic@gmail.com) if you might be interested. 🙏
