With three wins and two plays topping 100 points, Chani resoundingly demonstrated this week that her recent lackluster performance was no more than a passing down-streak. She had Wendy instantly regretting her risky opening of the board, when she played GAZETTE for 109 points onto the ‘E’ that Wendy thoughtfully placed in the triple-word-score lane. And she had David S regret more deeply still his lesser risk in putting the ‘A’ of his 35-point XENIA in the triple lane, when she built around it the 158-point triple-triple, STEADILY. § This was a very different kind of game for David than that which he played against Alice last week: he tossed all but the R and blank from his inelegant opening rack of C-D-G-M-R-V-? — and put down bingos on each of his four subsequent plays — AIRSHOT (challenged), BEDTIME, REACTIVE and CLOSINGS. § May, badly trailing Gordon this week, picked a blank toward the end of the game and plotted carefully how to use it. Finding an open P on the board, she was relieved to find OVERPLOT, which gave her the win, and assured her she hadn’t overplotted her play. § David L displayed a remarkable consistency in his four games this week, not only chalking up four wins, but four wins with scores in which only the middle digit differed: 400, 430, 440 and 490.
