To be fair, after Rufus decided to spring something really bizarre on me that I didn't understand, and in truth not expecting a game as close as this, it's quite excusable.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 1:45 pm He seems a little bit rattled actually. 13 up as I type though so not within crucial territory.
Yeah, fair enough. It wasn't meant as a criticism! Very well played anyway with some difficult rounds.Elliott Mellor wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 1:50 pmTo be fair, after Rufus decided to spring something really bizarre on me that I didn't understand, and in truth not expecting a game as close as this, it's quite excusable.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 1:45 pm He seems a little bit rattled actually. 13 up as I type though so not within crucial territory.
Wise words from you Elliott when you said your commiserations to Mark at the end of the show. I had predicted a margin of around 50 points with Elliott winning but Mark, you've definitely put up a much, much stronger fight than I predicted and proved me wrong with the margin only at 36 points! Even though the odds may have been stacked against you right from the start, you chose to fight on until the very end. No shame in losing to a very formidable opponent and all the best in your work! (P.S. I had predicted 50 in case there was a nine which Elliott would spot but it never happened.)Elliott Mellor wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 1:58 pm Thanks - have to say though credit to Mark, he put up a brilliant fight there. PROCLAIM was really well spotted - I totally blanked.

The next match is an interesting one because both contestants have appeared in the same series before (Series 57 in 2007) but have never met until 12 years later. "Once a prodigy and another guy who needs no introduction" Dinos Sfyris against "Never won in 2007 but now has eight in 2019" Sandra Pilson. Let's see if sparks will fly with two returning contestants...
