Maybe I'm just not off my game or still suffering the aftereffects of Enigmatist's Prize, but I found this really rather tricky.

Still, I did enjoy it and some of the clues had wonderfuls surfaces.

COD: liked 24a, 26a, 7d and 14a sounded particularly yummy, but I'm going to go for 6a... I do hope it didn't involve any 10a, though:-)

As always, thanks to Everyman.

Stay safe:-)

I found it tough but fair. Having said that, I still cannot parse 2d.
Thanks Everyman

Hi Edc,

2d - If you were to replace the "knight" in the answer with "queen", it would change the meaning to "really" instead of "yet".

Thanks Brendan. I was stuck using chess notation,

26a works without Merlin so what's he doing there?

Not he, it… of the winged variety.

Aha! Diolch.

Pretty straightforward I thought but cannot parse 5d though I am pretty sure the answer I have must be correct as it fits the definition indicated by the first 2 words of the clue. Any ideas please?

Think NATO alphabet, justsolve
