It's a Wijk aan Zee-heavy episode this week with Jan & Peter working as seconds for different top players at the tournament! The episode was recorded during the Giri-Carlsen so discussion of that will have to wait until next week. Laurent has also been falling the tournament closely by providing expert non-engine-assisted commentary with Peter Svidler for the first two rounds.

We even managed to answer some of your deep and insightful questions (no deep and insightful answers, though).

This week we did a full & extensive preview of the famous Tata Steel Masters in Wijk aan Zee! The fun begins on the 14th of January and 14 elite players will battle it out in the Wimbledon of chess.

This week's episode focused on the World Rapid & Blitz Championships, a 5-day speed chess extravaganza featuring Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Fabiano Caruana, Ian Nepomniachtchi and breakout German star Vincent Keymer. There was a lot to discuss in this action-packed event, with some exciting chess interrupted by questionable arbiter decisions, Magnus Carlsen arriving 2.5 minutes late for a 3-minute game and a strictly enforced dresscode.
