Piotr Andronowski (Sco) played Nigel Richards (NZL) at Board 1, in which he took the lead from the beginning, and never let go, thanks in part to getting both blanks, but despite a series of otherwise terrible racks. In addition to his two bingoes (ANTACIDS and IDOLISTs), he scored well with OOZiER (77) and FIQUE (81), as well as HAVEOUR double-doubled for 52. Nigel played TRENDIES and RELATIONS (through R and A), but went down 508-388.
