[I think it's a laborious pain in the ****. lol]
But we have come so far now, I feel it would be rude to give up now.
This has turned into a joint effort of some great minds, Yet the struggle is real
I have suggestions for:
7d Ensate (like a sword)
10d Assets (properties)
17d Illegal (banned)
But sadly cannot get them to parse.

Thanks,Klazo, I got 10d. Thanks also ProfessorMaisie, for your unstinting support with this monster of a crossword. You are a genius to crack so many obscure clues and we thank you for enriching our own skills. The following are still eluding me:
20a Hall's through, after second grand slam goes off (5) :??L?N
1d Local fixes railways by Princes Street (6) : S?E???
2 d Goddess's slave girl regularly accompanying nursemaid (6) : A?L???
22d Keeping a teacher's course notes, old man splits after college (6 ) : C?PI?G

2 d Goddess's slave girl regularly accompanying nursemaid (6) : A?L???
22d Keeping a teacher's course notes, old man splits after college (6 ) : C?PI?G
Not genius but a long drawn-out, dogged troll through Chambers (eg finding the single word 'balancing' in the middle of the very long entry for 'cross' - you should try it, Matakari}.
20 S + ALON(g) = 'through' [minus g(rand)] with 'slam' extra.
1 STELLS - 'railways' = ELLS (alt sp. of USA el[evated]) r'ways) ['princes' extra].
2 slAve GirL + AIA ('nursemaid') AGLAIA
22 def 'keeping a course' [''teacher's'' extra] 'C(ollege)' + two single letter notes A+G [around] PIN (archaic chessman) = CAPING.
