We start with the worse chess cartoon in the history of chess cartoons.

Then we look at one variation, basically a pitfall that started with some after
game analysis in 1955 that found it’s way into printed analysis in 1958 and
then onto a board in a game between Bobby Fischer and Samuel Reshevsky.

Geoff - I see you gave a ringing endorsement of the book, The Journal of a Chess Original. (9:05 of 24:54) by Gerzadowicz. I might just have to buy this when I'm finished grinding through Woodpecker. 🙂
