Just so we know, at what point should we have stopped searching for medical advances that make life significantly longer? I’m assuming you’re anti-chemotherapy? And what specifically should the “smaller number of humans” be?

I agree with you in a way. Chess to me is boring because the better player should win/draw unless they blunder. And we (generally) know who the better player is because of ratings. I’ve always much preferred games that in the short run

I think I’d do this via a Google Apps Scripts trigger and have the script run every minute and if the minute is 59 or 00 then send the email.
