It's kind of spooky watching content from February 2020. Eight people in one room?? Enjoy it while you can!

Tartakower's "500 Master Games of Chess" is still one of my favourite chess books ever. Sure it's only pre-1930s games and sure his analysis is a bit outdated, but his comments are always interesting and often quite witty.

Showing the position of some variant of the Dutch that nobody knows, instead of one of the QGD's main lines, is the most Wikipedia thing ever.
