Every Move Explained - More Proofreading!

What's every writer's least favorite job? I imagine it's proofreading. For reasons I explained last year in Every Move Explained - Proofreading!, the Every Move Explained series is particularly prone to errors. I reviewed the most recent games...

...and discovered that the quality ranged from embarrassingly bad to surprisingly acceptable. The worst errors are writing 'White' when I mean 'Black', and vice versa. How is an automated proofreader ever going to catch that? While I was looking at the latest batch of games, I noticed some stylistic differences with earlier games in the series...

...Have these been proofread? When I make the styles consistent, I'll read them all again.
