The endgame is an arena in which miraculous escapes are not uncommon.

Perhaps Fischer would say the knight? White to play and win, Bobby Fischer vs Wilheim Unzicker, Seigen Olympiad 1970. A game covered by Raymond Keene & Daniel Levy in their book on the Olympiad. I still remember the annotations complimenting Fischer's play: "Magic!" "More magic!"

Alireza Firouzja's worst result so far is a mere 8.5:2.5 win as he powers into the #BanterBlitzCup semifinals!
