cool blog!
I want to point the attention to the last move of Pragg against Mendoca. Commentators thought 46. Kh2 was just a way of showing how desperate lost the position is but there is in fact a hidden idea behind.
After 46.Kh2, g4 white planned 47.Re7+ which immediately liquidates to a pawn-endgame with extra knight for white.
46.Re7+ doesn't work yet due to 46... Bxe7 47.dxe7 Rd1+ 48.Kh2 Re1 and it is only a draw.
I think such small treasures stay often below the surface for the public and that is of course a pity.

Doubt- Why did Lichess only make a blog for the 4th round?
The leaderboard pic is wrong i think, it doesn't have the gukesh and alexey match recorded.
Yeah gukesh should be top ten
Ok ok ok kkkkk
