Dennis Monokroussos in 2021 European Team Championship

It's not as important as the pending World Chess Championship, but the 2021 European Team Championship swamps that forthcoming event when it comes to the quantity of elite-level play we can watch. Superstars like Firouzja (currently #4 in the world, ahead of Nepomniachtchi), Giri, Mamedyarov, Grischuk, Vachier-Lagrave, Radjabov, Duda are all playing - and that's just the players in the world's top 14. Other 2700s are also playing, not to mention dozens of more "ordinary" grandmasters.

I'll try to keep an eye out for great games from the event; readers, if there are games that especially catch your eye, please mention them in the comments.
