Board 1 featured a lopsided match between Debbe Hossy (ZAF) and Piotr Andronowski (Sco). It's hard to play perfectly by the time you get to the eighth or ninth game of the day, and I'm guessing Debbe is kicking herself over opening with GREY keeping ERU. She later got down AIDANTS; but Piotr owned the game, with FoRELAND, UNTENDER and DISSaVE.
