Round 3621 DEIPNSOPHOSIST Results

[Tim Lodge]

Perhaps I shouldn't have chosen a word that didn't havesuch  an obvious etymology to those who know Greek (that's you, Johnny B!)  Anyway, despite that, the round played out all right in the end.  Dan Widdis takes the next deal with a magnificent unnatural 8 points, leaving Gail Ternan to relax as the lucky runner-up.

Over to you, Dan.
