The London Chess Centre on Video

Just a few weeks ago, in a post titled Historic Olympiad Yahoos (September 2024), I noted,

The 100 stories total for September had the first nine under a heading that proclaimed, 'India win historic double gold at Chess Olympiad'. I counted another 18 stories about the Olympiad for a total of 27, plus a few more stories lacking the word 'Olympiad' in the title.

As confirmation of that note, this month's short list for the featured monthly video had a third of its clips from the ChessBase India channel, a resource that currently has over two million subscribers. Although most of the clips were about the Olympiad, I chose to use one of the two that had nothing to do with that historic event. Why? Because I like the subject and have a lot of respect for owner IM Malcolm Pein.
