Gauteng Masters 3 - Howard



Howard played a good strong game, opening with AGAROSE (73). He also scored 46 for QI and 47 for JAK. By the time I managed to bonus with PELORIES (pl of PELORY, unexpected regularity in a flower), I was still 75 behind. On move 13 I made a cheeky opening by playing AX to the edge of the board, holding 1 of 2 Es and hoping for a miracle. As it happens, said miracle arrived in the form of a sea turtle. I had RIDLEYS on my rack but did not see it! I played YO for 4 instead. The bonus would have scored 96 and given me the game. Final score: Dylan 379 vs Howard 425. 1-2
