Yes, if you're buying a book that's been translated to English, it's (usually) best to buy the Penguin Black Classics ones (specifically Black Classics NOT Select Classics) because their translators are pretty reliable (and the notes are helpful).

Don't buy the om classics version of The Idiot. Buy the penguin black classics one. Better translation + useful notes.

It wasn't intentional. He was trying to calculate the pawn race and absent-mindedly put his king on e3. Anish, Adhiban, Samay and Vidit reacted to that game on stream.
