There was a time when Tees always presented a stiff challenge, with various bits of arcane knowledge required. In recent crosswords I have found him much easier. That this is the result of improvement by me I somewhat doubt; it is more likely that Tees has decided to become a bit kinder.
But there has been no diminution of quality. Easy enough his crosswords may be nowadays, but they are still excellent: still tightly-produced clues and the occasional classical reference.
