Albany Game Of The Day Prelude

They start tomorrow and go thru Jan. 31. All the gcgs are created. Played fairly well except for two very sloppy games, one of which I won anyway ( Read more... )

Debating annotating Albany ME in game-a-day fashion and posting here. Leaning toward, assuming my schedule allows. After 18 rounds, 15 of my games had a spread of 67 or less ... a lot of very fun, very interesting games. No doubt I had a bunch of teachable moments, in positions I handled well and positions I handled not-so-well ( Read more... )

So, last weekend's Strongsville tournament:

Started 2-0, including a 577 game which would win me $8.03 for high game (in honor of gijoel666's game in Stamford). Then lost to Cornelis in a game in which I outdrew him but he outplayed me ( Read more... )

WSCQT report

I haven't quit posting to LJ, no. I will one day, when things settle down, write a long post about my year so far and how I see my Scrabble "career" moving forward. A WSCQT report featuring bingo lists and three-sentence recaps (including meals), but first, my favorite random stat from the tourney ( Read more... )

For those bummed about Causeway...

I am toying with the idea of having a 32-player OWL tourney (five best-of-threes) alongside an eight-player CSW tourney (three best-of-fives) at next year's Fury.

MM final

Well, if I must lose the last game of Michigan Madness to finish second two years in a row, at least I'm doing it in fun and interesting ways. I referenced the Berofsky game last year, and my game with Epstein (against whom I was 12-12 career coming into this game) this year.

Play it! Or, alternately, skip ahead to my tourney-losing play and tell ( Read more... )
