Charles Reinke Ends Evening With the Same Amount of Losses as He Started With: Zero!
1st Charles Reinke was the only player to not record a loss, so it is fitting that he end up in first place. The highlight of his night was beating Helen Flores 490-356, but that highlight was marred by his phony of UNWELDS (only UNWELDED is good, even though UNSOLDER is good by itself). That same game he played another UN- word, UNRULED, making good use of the undesirable U tile. In his defeat of Barb Besadny, he again used a U to play the word of the week, SUNRAYS. Charles now holds a commanding seven-percentage-point lead at the top of the club standings.
2nd Andy Bohsnack went 3-1 +161, good for second place in a competitive expert group. In a cruel twist of fate, his high score of the night came in a 469-486 defeat at the experienced hands of Mark Kenas. Andy's three bingos that game (INDUCTED, DEFUSING, SKIRRING) were matched by three of Mark's (PROEMIAL, DATIVELY, and ENTICES). Andy's other tri-bingo effort resulted in a happier result, that being a 110-point, 466-356 win against Peter Schmiedicke. A crown to commemorate Andy's Bingo King status (this week and all forseeable weeks in the future) has been mailed to his house.
3rd Mark Kenas finished at 3-1 +49. Mary Becker handed him his only loss when she beat him 438-315. From that result we can deduce the one course of action necessary to defeat Mark: prevent him from bingoing. Of course, since he knows all the bingos, that feat is exceedingly difficult to achieve. Mark scored a hearty 454, 486, and 438 in his wins.
Sue Goldstein Calmly Takes Care of Intermediates
1st Sue Goldstein ended at 2-1 -70. She beat both Aki Miura (312-366) and June Scott (317-308) in low-scoring brawls, but fell to expert player Mary Becker.
2nd Aki Miura made his return to club play in triumphant fashion, splitting his games at 1-1 -7. His victory was against June Scott, 301-262, and his opponents averaged a brutal 287 points per game. Hint: when playing Aki, try to open the board, because he's going to try to do the opposite!
