disagree  Tony M: 'normale' would mean 'par' (which is the term also used on FR) — here, it just means 'the player leading the game at this point'.

neutral  kashew: lead = meneur, après 3 rondes sur 4. This doesn't translate exactly what he said.
40 mins
agree  Tony M: Yes, though do note that the person leading at the end of this particular (3rd) round MAY not necessarily be the overall winner of the whole game (= 4 rounds).
41 mins
  -> Merci, Tony
disagree  Germaine: bien que le "meilleur" à ce point pourrait devenir le "vainqueur", on n'en sait rien pour l'instant.

agree  Tony M
5 mins
  -> Cheers, mate.
neutral  Germaine: on dit plutôt "à 8 coups de retard" ou "à 8 coups du meneur" ou "à huit coups de la tête", mais le meneur n'est pas nécessairement un "leader" au sens propre du terme.

Étant donné que la première position peut tout aussi bien être occupée par un ou plusieurs joueurs, on emploie normalement des termes indéterminés comme "the lead" ou "la tête" pour eviter le problème du pluriel.
