Game of the Week #438
Merijn van Delft: "While top level chess continued to have a break in the past week, the hype around the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit continued to grow, and rightfully so. Let's use the opportunity to study another classical game with the Queen's Gambit: Steinitz-Lasker from the tournament in St. Petersburg 1896, which features in my book Mastering Positional Sacrifices."
