About two thirds done. Don’t recall a PD puzzle for some time. Trite to say it, given that solving some clues always helps with solving the rest, but one does seem to get into some sort of rhythm with PD puzzles so that the PD penny drops more easily as one progresses, regardless of the assistance afforded by cross checking letters.
Alekhine, I often post before I've finished. Certainly not to show off but because weirdly it often speeds things up - I've lost count of the number of times I've posted to say "I'm stuck" and almost instantly become unstuck.
