The readers found this to be an easier set than I did, as four readers tiedfor first place with fine scores of 780. Repeating champion Nigel Buchan isjoined by Kevin McGrath, Walter Hamm, and Thomas Cunningham. These fourreaders receive a free one-year subscription to Gammonline, and they willbe invited to join our expert panel next month.
