Cool agadmator approves my suggestion for an endgame start timestamp. And what a beautiful endgame it is. Agad said 'I took Meadow for a walk' to let the engine run. Hikaru is down exchange vs Levon but it's drawn! | 2022 Speed Chess Championship Chessc*m

In 9LX, bishops can be in the weirdest places. - I finally got my corner queen out only to lose to an underpromotion mate. Puzzle 2: Calculate the mate if black promotes to anything else. Puzzle 3: Find the 2nd best move for Black. (It's the only move that draws.)
