Game 10: Theresa Brousson (Malta) 437 vs Dylan 377

Down 4-6. SURANCE did not play anywhere so I tried CESUREAN. It came off, I got confused with CESAREAN which is good. I could have just played UNCRATES or RECUSANT instead for a 100 point lead against Maltas best. Derserved to lose this game.

Game 7: Terry Kirk (England) 393 vs Dylan 322

Tough way to end the day. I think I played we'll here. Even after Terry played RINGLESS I was still in the lead with RUCTION. Then he came with ATOPY 48 and FIZ 54 while I had racks like AAEEEIL, EEEEAIJ, AAABEIL. I thought his play of BOHEMIA was apt since we are in Bohemia (this area of the world was once called Bohemia). That's the end of day 1. Lying somewhere in the bottom half with 3/7. I need a big day tomorrow. Trevor has won 5/7!

Game 6: Jesse Day (USA) 412 vs Dylan 497

Jesse played 3 bonuses on his first four scoring moves. I was 75 behind but made a good comeback. 3-3

Game 5: Chris Cree (USA) 394 vs Dylan 412

Good win for me. Had only 6 vowels in my first 6 turns. Was trailing by 100. Engineered a good endgame outplay. 2/5 wins. This tourney is killer tough

Game 4: Peter Sinton (NZ) 420 vs Dylan 385

I doubted the bonus with ENURRTY on my first move and played ARY instead. I had no chance after that. 1/4 so far, depression starting to set in.
