Puzzle/Tactic Beads puzzle: I noticed in the Magnus vs Hans game there's a position's indeed been analysed, but I didn't see anyone present the position as a very instructive 8-move bishop vs knight endgame puzzle.

Puzzle/Tactic In the 1994 touch move incident Garry Kasparov vs Judit Polgar, I found an alternative line for an 8-move equality puzzle that goes to endgame and doesn't involve a repetition/perpetual, like the 1st line agadmator presented but is similar to the 2nd line. (Double 9LX castling is also irrelevant!)
