After my last two rough nights at the Mississauga Club it was nice to win all three again. My record so far this season is 32-7:
519-242 against Jean. I played INGOTED (79), QuESTER (87) and WEARaBLE (63).
409-399 against Dave K. Now this was a game I surely should have lost. Dave played MELDERs (84) as his third-last move. When Dave’s score was 399 mine was 289. I managed to bingo out with OcTAVES (98) playing it as a three-word overlap on a DWS. That took my score to 387. I then got 22 points from Dave’s unplayed LNUX to win with 409.
405-365 against Peter H. I played one bingo, EMEROID (69) yet Peter came back with a late bingo barrage of BLESsING (62), INSULTED (70) and STINGERS (61). Although I won by forty it was a lot closer than that just before the end. Before my outplay the score was 365-357 in Peter’s favour. My final play was FEWESt (24) and then I got 24 points from Peter’s unplayed ACX. That’s two opponents in a row who had unplayed X’s on their racks.
