There will be two tough but important endgames. 15 minutes each on the clock. We will match people with similar grading on the night. The pieces will be placed on their starting positions.

Queen versus Rook endgame to win the rook (far from easy).

Bishop & Knight versus King to checkmate.

Unrated friendly Allegro (rapid play) competition.
