Gauteng Masters 6 - Solomon



Before we started, Solomon jokingly wished me all the O’s and I’s. I turned over my first 2 tiles – both O’s. Then 2 E’s and then 2 T’s. Lastly a blank. I played TOETOEs before Solomon had even taken his first 7 tiles. I bonused again on move 4 to take a 100 point lead. I was pleased with UBIQUE for 46 and WAAC for 11. There were 3 S’s left – I had 2 of them. So I played ZEBRAS/SUN hoping to capitalise on the end hook of ZEBRAS. Solomon then played LUTEINS/ZEBRASS and hit his clock without even declaring the score, so doubtful was he of the word. His face beamed with excitement when I did not challenge. I replied with ODORISE for 87 and won the game. Dylan 540 vs Solomon 318. 3-3
