THIS WEEK AT THE CLUB…
*** Standings, Season 74: Wk 23 of 25 – October 7, 2019 ***
Meeting less than 24 hours before Yom Kippur, Club attendance was down this week, but those there showed themselves well aware of the portentous day ahead. The two opening plays in the game between Taffy and Max, for example, were GUILT and FEELINGS… § David S’s plays weren’t seasonal, but they proved yet again (were proof needed) the cardinal importance of word knowledge. As well as finding the elegant GALOSHE and URBANEST, on both of which he was unsuccessfully challenged, he effectively dispatched his opponents’ invalid LOUTIER, YOUZ, SEM and YUMP. § Which goes a long way toward showing why he is, as ever, the runaway front-runner in Division A, his 66-point lead unbreakable in Season 74’s remaining two weeks. The four players at the top of Division B1, however, are scrambling toward a far tighter finish, with only ten points currently separating them. § Pini’s wife Leah came to the Club for the first time this week, though she remained above the fray as spectator rather than player.
