At Board 1 this round it's a rematch between Nigel Richards (NZL) and Chinedu Okwelogu (NGA), who last played in Round 11 to a 517-431 win for Nigel. The spread is closer this time, only +46 to Nigel, in a much tighter game. Nigel bingoes on his third turn with UNTRIDE natural, spends his fourth turn balancing his rack, before bingoing with both blanks rETREATs (he considered CHE-ATERiEs) to take a commanding lead. Chinedu did not manage a single bingo.
