Thanks emmaherself for doing what you do so well again. I’ll take your word for the dp with a double nod for the achievement! Some very slick and varied clues (though perhaps a little anagram-rich), my faves being 11a, 13a, 23a, 26a, 30a, 2d (tg for Shakespeare!), 4d & 22d. I’m sure you’re heading for the stars! And in the small ads…

As you say, a range of difficulty and a super special effect included. Nice surfaces throughout. I appreciated 12a, 13a, 20a, 3d, 22d among others. But found the SW quadrant with a concentration of the more difficult clues so needed a couple of letter reveals to proceed. Mostly through stretchy synonyms, but that's the name of the game so I can't complain. All good, thanks emaherself!

I loved it - so much so that I hoped someone else would pick my nit for me. That hasn't happened, so: In chess, K refers to the king. The knights are represented by N.
