Mike Shefler's Romanian noble def was close to the real one, the SE
European ruler, and the fact that they ended up uncombined but next to each
other in the def list, induced many - no, most of you - to vote for them
both. So Mike and the Dictionary tied for first place with 11 points, and
Efrem Mallach was the real winner with 5 points.
I did offer to return the favour that Mike did me last weekend and deal the
next round, but he chivalrously said he'd do it himself. So over to you,
Mike!
