This must be our quickest solve ever! What a delightful little compilation by KevGar. We tumbled to the theme with the first solution and have enjoyed it thoroughtly so far. Gentle, indeed after some recent ones - but why not. Thanks, KevGar. (Yes, we do still have a few cells to fill!)

Got back from Dubrovnik last night, hence a late start. Almost there, though still a few gaps in the south west corner. Mystified by the "four letters used once and three used twice" in the preamble as I have only one letter used twice. Clearly one of my 4 candidates must be wrong, though they all fit the bill.

Contendo...the "four letters used once and three used twice" refers to the letters of the unclued grid entries which can't be filled in by completing all the other clued grid entries. Out of the 10 blank squares, 4 are filled in by letters used uniquely, and the other 6 are filled in by 3 letters which appear twice. We didn't really need this 'clue' at all to complete the grid...

contendo

Thanks Lathamjeld. I suppose if I'd added 4 and 6 I might have got 10 rather than 7...

Great theme and a fun solve. Like others, I do have the lingering feeling that I may be missing some thematic cleverness in the shading. But very enjoyable nonetheless.

Alekhine

For those who believe that X's name is scattered around the letters of the "tools of his trade" ... do you also feel that he may have been the proud owner of a wild Australian animal?

It's amazing what you can see, if you look hard enough.

The option Alekhine mentions seems to better fit the instruction in the preamble, no? It's rather ambiguous where you start measuring distances from. If you take the option where the name is linked with the 'tools of the trade', the distance between two of the letters of the name seems to be too far apart.

Well the solution's out now with no explanation for the apparently haphazard scattering of the first name. A shame, because in many ways if they'd just forgotten about that and kept the rest, everything else was very well-constructed.

Yes, I was also hoping for the logic behind the endgame to be revealed, but it's not to be. Maybe there wasn't any.
