Piotr Andronowski (Sco) is back at Board 1 for the first time since Day 1, this time to face Nigel Richards (NZL). He works through five garbage racks to get to GERMANE (68), during which time Nigel has scored well with RAJ (52), TEABOX (60), EPENDYmA (95). Unfortunately, GERMANE gives Nigel an E he needed to reach a triple with AnTEVERTS (86) through the A and the second E. Piotr plays DARLING (79) and out with UTRICLES (74); challenges ROKELAY (77) unsuccessfully, even though it's a Scottish word.
