23a Be not tense ,furl standard carrying a chip (9)
???e?t ??l Resentful if so why ?

3a Judge how am I to make it ? (9)
E???I?A?O?
All I can see is estimator but if so why ?

Adjudicator?

[Psybbo]

anagram tense + furl

[dave1948]

Thank you both I see resentful but not adjudicator. I think the e is right but even then I do not see how adjudicator fits apart from judge

Examinator?

3a Is it 9 or 10? Your pattern shows ten letters

[dave1948]

It is 9 sorry about that i have :
E??I?A?O?

3d Encorage two ways to connect (6))
?N?O?N
I thought was enjoin which gives the e in m

[Calibax]

E N join looks OK
Can't think of anything other than estimator for 3a
There's an anagram of am I to in there but I don't see where the rest(!) comes from.

Calibax I've been sitting here doing exactly the same, can't work out rest
