17 refers to chess, 13d the flock could be in church

13d is contentious are there are so many variants - around here it start with T!

And the first name of the "Georgia writer" is the same as the book alluded to in 19a. I wonder if that was intentional.

Hi everyone

If woorboy feels superdim, I don't know what that makes me. Once again I didn't start until late and didn't fill my first one in (15d) for ages (I always start with the across clues in order, then the down clues) and didn't resort to looking at the forum until after 6.00pm.
Once again I've had a busy day and I'm worried about abicoop.

I have quite a few answers now, but I can't parse a number (13d, 17ac, 19d). I can't work out 19ac or 13ac. Can I have a hint for 3d (I have ?I?????E?S) and 14ac(I have A?E?I??). A hint for 24ac might help. I have an idea of the answer, but cannot parse it. I have B?A???A?D. The A is from 19d, which I may have got wrong.

My first attempt at helping someone. The second a is incorrect in 24.
14 issue is usual meaning. 3; def = last word

14ac has a Trump child in it,, and is perhaps the single most encompassing part of the theme.

I enjoyed today. Bit easy for a prize but at least even I did spot the theme, having been repeatedly bashed over the head with it.

Thanks wootboy
This time I've spelt your name right!

I've got 3d now, which led to a number of others. I think I have 13ac, but can't parse it. I'm glad the second A is wrong in 24 ac as that means I've got 19d and 19ac wrong. So any hints for 19d would be gratefully received. I'm back to ??N???O?

I also need a hint for 24 ac I'm back to B?A?????D

Thanks Richard K

I got this answer, but couldn't see why. A bit of googling earlier on would have helped.
