Derrick Somerset Macnutt [SEP] date of death
Derrick Somerset Macnutt
Derrick Somerset Macnutt (1902–1971) was a British crossword compiler who provided crosswords for "The Observer" newspaper under the pseudonym Ximenes. His main oeuvre was blocked-grid and "specialty" puzzles. Even though he only provided conventional blocked puzzles once a week for the "Observer" Everyman series for about two years his strong views on clueing, expressed in his 1966 book, have been a source of debate in the cryptic crossword world ever since.
