The event began a day earlier than usual, with an evening cruise
on the Chao Phraya River, attended by about 100 players and their
guests. After a welcoming address and extremely well catered
dinner, we had an exhibition match of A-Math (arithmetic crossword
game) between tournament director John Chew (assisted by the
foreigners in the audience) and Thai A-Math Champion Peerawit Tanapiched.
Then 26 foreign players faced 26 Thai players for a one-round
crossword game competition for a newly created trophy, which
ended being accepted by foreign team captain Siu Hean Cheah (SGP) after a decisive
16-10 victory. Then it was time for team photos, and presentation
of an A-Math set and King's Cup T-shirt to each player, before the
ship returned to dock and we went back to our hotels to prepare for
the morning. Addendum Here are the 16 matches in which the foreigner won: Helen Gipson (Sco) vs. Thanapong,
