hi gk, ta for help. 10a-- not familiar with BBC jargon, didn't know dreck was in english dictionary. only cuban dance i know is rumba, which doesn't fit. :-((

10a endgame - dg(director general) inside e name)
6d rueda

ta rh412 et al
should have picked up chess ref.
just checked on the net for outcome of analysis of "had misgivings" (rued and a) and dance . came up with rueda, a cuban dance like salsa. BUT IT'S NOT IN ANY OF MY DICTIONARIES.

I googled RUEDA and, yes it is a dance, and yes, it wasn't in any of my dictionaries either !

What clever crossword setters that Guardian must have !

Phew! That was tricky. Some unfamiliar words included. MUCH harder than last week.

I'm still struggling eg
16ac I have....S.T.A
11Aac I have ..P.E.O
South west corner also a wasteland at the moment - it is me or is this puzzle really obscure?

16a kama sutra
11a anagram of onenil + p(power) - it's latin

26a is also an anagram

Hi elfie
11ac is an anagram, giving a Latin expression
16ac is a notorious book

btw it's helpful to give the clues so people without the crossword can help too.

Yes - it is rather obscure today!
