My first Tourney using Collins
Last weekend, June 4, 2007, I decided to attend a mini-tourney at Pares Restaurant located beside Bustillos Church, Sampaloc, Manila to get a feel of Collins. I arrived early and skimmed some new Collins words using my palmtop. Around 9:30 AM, players started to come in but only 9 of us were present and the tourney will not be rated if there are less than 10 players. Melvin volunteered to use his car to invite Loy nearby. Sure enough, the tourney ran smoothly. Open notes for new 2-4 letter words (except new 2-4 TWL06) were implemented in this particular tourney.
Round 1 vs Andy AquinoAndy played WEX 8g (26) to start the game. I held DGIOOTT and played OOTID 9f (26). I traded all my tiles on my 4th turn as heavy consonants struck me. Later, he played COMOTE* (30) in the TWS which was not challenged thinking that it was a new Collins word. But it wasn't good as I verified the word after the game. Anyway, I had TRAWLEd (72) and LANGURS (66+5) then blocked the only bingo lane playing KOAP%, my first Collins word on the board to secure the victory.
W 427-322 Bingos: 2-0 Me: ??QS Andy: JQXSSS Equity Loss: ??
Round 2 vs Loy Rivera
AEIMPTW was my first rack and played PEWIT h4 (26) immediately. After my (J)OlTIEST (80) and ENDEARS (83) followed by LEX (33), REWIN (37) and GANEF (35), I took a commanding lead, 388-227. But Loy slotted in VESTRAL (78) on a tight board in the endgame. I used my blank to score with SHiNY (57) and won convincingly.
W 467-328 Bingos: 2-1 Me: ??QXSSS Loy: JZS Equity Loss:??
Round 3 vs Robbie OnateAfter our lunch break, Robbie was up next. He played EDUCT 8d (18) and my rack was an awful BLNNRTW. Instead of tile exchange, I played BL(U)NT f6 (15). Then here comes his first bingo STRIVED, DEDUCT (84). I countered with GENI(T)RIX (70+5). But he had STEALTH (64+5). I challenged it to make it sure so that PELOTAs (88) hooking S to his last bingo cannot be denied. At last, Robbie was my first opponent to play new Collins, FAA% (31). Then I had REGULIN(E) (76+5) to lead temporarily 292-254. But then, he played Z(H)O, ZA$ doubling the TLS for 66 pts and another power tile scoring move of EQUIDS (46). Going into the endgame, I held ?AEINRU with 2 tiles in the bag and unseen BCDEMRSW. Our score was 359-429.
Ronald: ?AEINRU - 359
Robbie's Score: 429
Robbie's Last Move: VOE
Unseen: BCDEMRSW
No possible bingo along 15th row. I need to dispose one or two tiles and must open another bingo lane. My choices were (Y)AR l11, (K)AI k11 and (D)I h12 but thought that the unseen C could be his good defensive move. I surveyed other location but coudn't find another lane (but analyzed at home there was one last hope).
I played (D)UI h12 (4) and drew IR in the bag. Robbie played D(I)CES 14g (10) to block my only bingo spot.
Going back to the board position, I later analyzed that the only chance of winning was to play A(L) l1 (2) with the hope of drawing D or S could bingo on two separate locations such as:
UR(I)dINES (3g) or NUTSIEr 15d, etc.
UR(I)DINEs (3g) or NEURoID 15d, etc.
... and also hope that my opponent had only one vowel on his rack.
L 423-452 Bingos: 3-2 Me: ??JX Robbie: QZSSSS Equity Loss:??
Round 4 vs Robbie OnateDue to KOTH format, we were paired again as I was the next one with bigger spread among players with 2 wins. I started with BIOOSUU and played just OU 8h. Robbie responded with OVINE 9f. I drew YI in the bag and played BUOY, BOVINE (9f) (29). Then he played HIND 10j (29). My next rack EIIKSTW played KIWI 12e (42) missing TWI(N)KIES$ l7 (a new TWL06 word). After his LAZ(I)ED 15a, I responded with TIPS(I)EST hooking S to BOVINE (82+10) and he challenged both words. He had OVERLaI(D) (76+5) to counter with. Our score at that point was 167-176. Still nip and tuck affair going into this endgame.
Robbie: ?EILOSU - 313
Unseen: AEEENNRSTT (3 tiles in the bag)
My score: 340
Robbie had two bingo spots: nOISE(F)UL 2e
SOILUrE b6
... but with good unseen tiles, Robbie probably thought to play just two tiles and opened up one more bingo lane for his last bingo attempt. He played LO(G) g3 (10).
I held EEENRST and unseen ?AEINSTU. I had only one bingo spot, so I should not pass. At that point, I was in time trouble and thought that ENTREES and RETENES are playable in SLOG. I chose RETENES 2a and drew A in the bag. Robbie immediately played U(R)aNITES a1 (122), a nine timer which left me gnashing my teeth. I realized later that TEENERS 2a should have minimized his winning chances.
L 413-447 Bingos: 2-2 Me: ?JQXSSS Robbie: ?ZS Equity Loss:??
Round 5 vs. Loy RiveraDIRL/ERS 8g (10) was my first move. After his BAPU 7f (21), I played a four timer, HORSIER k5 (96) and another bingo on my 5th turn, SAVIOrS (70), I led, 240-80. He had DEIfIES (81) in his 7th turn to trim down the lead, 307-238. Later, his play of OCA 2a (28) forming OD, CAD and ANE was answered by my DENY 1a (62) in the TWS forming DOD, ECAD and NANE%. There's nothing he can do about it til the end.
W 459-377 Bingos: 2-1 Me: ?QZSSS Robbie: ?JXS Equity Loss:??
Round 6 vs Robbie OnatePrior to this round, Robbie had 5-0 win loss record against my 3-2. I need to win this game, otherwise, the championship looms for him. I played TAXA/DHI h7 (22) and he responded with JAM, JA% g8 (36). At last, Robbie faltered in move 5 when his (F)UMESIED* was challenged off. In move 9, I played De(FE)RRING (64), a nine letter word. I also played some QZ Collins, QUINO% and ZOAEA%. My first revenge against him.
W 406-275 Bingos: 1-0 Me: ??QXZSS Robbie: JSS Equity Loss:??
Round 7 vs Robbie OnatePenultimate round against Robbie with his 5-1 win loss record, I'm still hanging on with my 4-2 win loss and a superior spread at the moment. Robbie played QI 8g (22) to start the game. I played FOLD/AES 9h (14) to open up two bingo S-hook spots. It paid off as I had WHARvES (85) next turn. His START(L)ED (70) was answered by my UPDATER(S) (74+5), then COVENtS (74) in my 5th turn to lead comfortably, 263-161. Another phoney, (T)RANNIED* cost him the game and sealed a healthy win for me.

Round 8 vs Melvin DalanginMelvin had just won his round 7 match at board 2 for a 5-2 win loss record and a better spread compared to Robbie for the final game. But before the game, he requested to me if we can use his Scrabble set as he was very lucky using it. I also told him that I was doing well with my own board too. So, to remedy this, a toss coin was agreed upon to decide the issue. I picked the head. The coin was up... and the result, his set will be used.
Summarizing the game using Quackle, Despite his phoney ENR(O)LEEs* which was challenged off the board, he had three bingos, RI(D)DLING (72), REELmEN (69) and AVI(A)TION (76). His last bingo could'nt have been possible if I stick to my initial option of (R)ESTAtES e4, instead played EASiEST 10b. In move 7, I did'nt gamble with the low probability bingo with my rack CFHIOSW, although I was able to score WISH (54) and F(R)OW (42) in succession. Consonants rack became my problems going into the endgame and there's nothing I could do but to reduce the gap.

Round 1 vs Andy AquinoAndy played WEX 8g (26) to start the game. I held DGIOOTT and played OOTID 9f (26). I traded all my tiles on my 4th turn as heavy consonants struck me. Later, he played COMOTE* (30) in the TWS which was not challenged thinking that it was a new Collins word. But it wasn't good as I verified the word after the game. Anyway, I had TRAWLEd (72) and LANGURS (66+5) then blocked the only bingo lane playing KOAP%, my first Collins word on the board to secure the victory.

Round 2 vs Loy Rivera
AEIMPTW was my first rack and played PEWIT h4 (26) immediately. After my (J)OlTIEST (80) and ENDEARS (83) followed by LEX (33), REWIN (37) and GANEF (35), I took a commanding lead, 388-227. But Loy slotted in VESTRAL (78) on a tight board in the endgame. I used my blank to score with SHiNY (57) and won convincingly.

Round 3 vs Robbie OnateAfter our lunch break, Robbie was up next. He played EDUCT 8d (18) and my rack was an awful BLNNRTW. Instead of tile exchange, I played BL(U)NT f6 (15). Then here comes his first bingo STRIVED, DEDUCT (84). I countered with GENI(T)RIX (70+5). But he had STEALTH (64+5). I challenged it to make it sure so that PELOTAs (88) hooking S to his last bingo cannot be denied. At last, Robbie was my first opponent to play new Collins, FAA% (31). Then I had REGULIN(E) (76+5) to lead temporarily 292-254. But then, he played Z(H)O, ZA$ doubling the TLS for 66 pts and another power tile scoring move of EQUIDS (46). Going into the endgame, I held ?AEINRU with 2 tiles in the bag and unseen BCDEMRSW. Our score was 359-429.
Ronald: ?AEINRU - 359
Robbie's Score: 429
Robbie's Last Move: VOE
Unseen: BCDEMRSW
No possible bingo along 15th row. I need to dispose one or two tiles and must open another bingo lane. My choices were (Y)AR l11, (K)AI k11 and (D)I h12 but thought that the unseen C could be his good defensive move. I surveyed other location but coudn't find another lane (but analyzed at home there was one last hope).
I played (D)UI h12 (4) and drew IR in the bag. Robbie played D(I)CES 14g (10) to block my only bingo spot.
Going back to the board position, I later analyzed that the only chance of winning was to play A(L) l1 (2) with the hope of drawing D or S could bingo on two separate locations such as:
UR(I)dINES (3g) or NUTSIEr 15d, etc.
UR(I)DINEs (3g) or NEURoID 15d, etc.
... and also hope that my opponent had only one vowel on his rack.

Round 4 vs Robbie OnateDue to KOTH format, we were paired again as I was the next one with bigger spread among players with 2 wins. I started with BIOOSUU and played just OU 8h. Robbie responded with OVINE 9f. I drew YI in the bag and played BUOY, BOVINE (9f) (29). Then he played HIND 10j (29). My next rack EIIKSTW played KIWI 12e (42) missing TWI(N)KIES$ l7 (a new TWL06 word). After his LAZ(I)ED 15a, I responded with TIPS(I)EST hooking S to BOVINE (82+10) and he challenged both words. He had OVERLaI(D) (76+5) to counter with. Our score at that point was 167-176. Still nip and tuck affair going into this endgame.
Robbie: ?EILOSU - 313
Unseen: AEEENNRSTT (3 tiles in the bag)
My score: 340
Robbie had two bingo spots: nOISE(F)UL 2e
SOILUrE b6
... but with good unseen tiles, Robbie probably thought to play just two tiles and opened up one more bingo lane for his last bingo attempt. He played LO(G) g3 (10).
I held EEENRST and unseen ?AEINSTU. I had only one bingo spot, so I should not pass. At that point, I was in time trouble and thought that ENTREES and RETENES are playable in SLOG. I chose RETENES 2a and drew A in the bag. Robbie immediately played U(R)aNITES a1 (122), a nine timer which left me gnashing my teeth. I realized later that TEENERS 2a should have minimized his winning chances.

Round 5 vs. Loy RiveraDIRL/ERS 8g (10) was my first move. After his BAPU 7f (21), I played a four timer, HORSIER k5 (96) and another bingo on my 5th turn, SAVIOrS (70), I led, 240-80. He had DEIfIES (81) in his 7th turn to trim down the lead, 307-238. Later, his play of OCA 2a (28) forming OD, CAD and ANE was answered by my DENY 1a (62) in the TWS forming DOD, ECAD and NANE%. There's nothing he can do about it til the end.

Round 6 vs Robbie OnatePrior to this round, Robbie had 5-0 win loss record against my 3-2. I need to win this game, otherwise, the championship looms for him. I played TAXA/DHI h7 (22) and he responded with JAM, JA% g8 (36). At last, Robbie faltered in move 5 when his (F)UMESIED* was challenged off. In move 9, I played De(FE)RRING (64), a nine letter word. I also played some QZ Collins, QUINO% and ZOAEA%. My first revenge against him.

Round 7 vs Robbie OnatePenultimate round against Robbie with his 5-1 win loss record, I'm still hanging on with my 4-2 win loss and a superior spread at the moment. Robbie played QI 8g (22) to start the game. I played FOLD/AES 9h (14) to open up two bingo S-hook spots. It paid off as I had WHARvES (85) next turn. His START(L)ED (70) was answered by my UPDATER(S) (74+5), then COVENtS (74) in my 5th turn to lead comfortably, 263-161. Another phoney, (T)RANNIED* cost him the game and sealed a healthy win for me.

CANDIDATES MATCH (Year 2006-2007) Final Standings after 4th Leg
Wednesday, April 04, 2007
My 4th Leg Candidates Match Game Summary
Day 1, March 24, 2007
Round 01 vs. Odette Rio
She had REBOANT (66) in the early going. I had the two blanks to bingo with MEAtILY (68) and SONTIeS (75) but her power tiles did the damages, SEX (58), JIVY$ (33), CUZ (52) and ROQUET (32). I had AELNSTY in the endgame but her good move of ION (12) blocked my only bingo opening.
L 388-419, Record: 0-1
Round 2, vs. Oca Rivera
Oca already played in London WSC 2005 and finished 23rd over-all. His initial play of QAT gave me a good start to play (A)NTEATER (77) followed by a four timer, WAFFL(E)R (64). My GASAliE(R) (74) gave me a commanding lead til the end.
W 441-299, Record: 1-1
Round 3, vs. Antonio Malonzo
I had RACIStS (72) to start the game. Later he came back with LOADERS (75) and tR(A)MPLED (82) to lead 269-217. I struggled hard hitting RESINAT(E) (77) going into the endgame but his AZO (41) and YEANED (38) sealed the win for him.
L 395-410, Record: 1-2
Round 4, vs. Huub Luyk
My first rack was BEEPVWW and exchanged BEVWW, then Huub played COVED 8d (28). My good draw gave me (D)EPARTEE (86). Two more bingos AvOWERS (76) and SOUMING (76+5) pushed my lead further.
W 535-260, Record: 2-2
Round 5, vs. Teejay de Jesus
Despite my three bingos, HEAVIER (70), S(E)MiNARS (63) and ETESIAN(S) (60), Teejay managed to comeback with CISTRON (80), to lead 323-325. His error of FENE* in the endgame cost him the game.
W 422-373, Record: 3-2
Round 6, vs.Teodoro Martus
After his initial play of GROK$ (18), he got the two blanks successively to play Un(W)ISELY (76) and AUNTIEs (65) and led, 36-159. I was trounced early with another one, TRO(U)NCER (72), 67-261. My (E)ROTIZES (104) and JUNIORS (71) after his HEARTEN (80+5) reduced his lead by 120 points!
L 388-508, Record: 3-3
Round 7, vs. Oca Rivera
Our second meeting. My first rack AEEFGOQ forced me to exchanged six tiles leaving E. Then Oca played HOURA* which was challenged off the board. A good draw gave me LAIRIER h7 (66). He responded with HOAR g9 (26). ??DEINR came in and I chose the defensive parallel bingo, cINDERs i6 (81) and led, 147-26. But Oca still had arsenal left to fight back with VENEERS (75), POZ (40) and JA(N)E 4a (38) exposing the two TWS and even took the lead 340-345 emptying the bag. I had CFLOOPS against his CDENNTU. My out in two moves, CO(Z) n1 (28) left the two TWS open to setup my FLOPS f1 (14) after his DU(C)T 1l (27) won me the game.
W 394-372, Record: 4-3
Round 8, vs. Roger Parchamento
He had DIG(E)sTER (68) and THEINeS (71) against my SAUCIER (70). Very low scoring game for me.

Day 2, March 25, 2007
Round 9, vs. Mario Recedes
A WSC 2003 veteran, Mario had three bingos, KAISERS (73+5), UNsPENT (63) and ABL(U)TION (74). Due to panic time, he failed to spot REFEEDS and played blitz in his last six moves to win. I had only one DRAsTIC (82) bingo.
L 364-423, Record: 4-5
Round 10, vz. Bert Palomo
A retired Brigadier General and the oldest participant at 70+ is still one of our active players in the country, Gen. Palomo had nothing he can do with my scoring game including my three bingos of INTENTS (78), REGLETS (74) and sEIGNIO(R) (79).
W 532-346, Record: 5-5
Round 11, vs. Oca Rivera
A one-sided game for me. Oca had no bingos against two for me, IOdINES (66) and WARIEST (76).
W 442-329, Record: 6-5
Round 12, vs. Odette Rio
Before this round, Odette had a 7-4 win loss record. She laid down TENSION (70) in the early going to seize the lead, 174-189. My SEZ (38) and STRIDER (64) put me back into the driver's seat, 351-281. In the middlegame, she played (RE)DRAPiNG* 15g in the TWS but was challenged off. My rack was a dreadful HHIIIIV virus! With 10 tiles in the bag which includes S and blank, I exchanged all tiles and drew ?BIRSUW. She played just her D, to score with (JOLE)D (21), 358-341 still my lead. There were two bingo openings, the RE- and word to start with letter S. I dumped my W and played W(AB) 4c (8) to open up another bingo lane starting with letter S. She setup her own G in the triple lane, played the R to R(OPES) 12b (7). Then my rack was ?BHIRSU. There were 7 tiles left in the bag. In time trouble, I failed to spot BRUtISH/tROPES a9 or (RE)fURBISH 15g and settled for HUB l10 (23) to lead temporarily, 389-348. She played PALlING/GROPES (94), 389-442 to recover the lead killing two bingo spots. With less than one minute, I held ?IORRST and the only opening left were the one starting with letter S and a difficult niner starting with RE- for a game winning bingo! But did'nt find it. It's now 0-5 in her favor for our last five meetings for this year.
L 418-472, Record: 6-6
Round 13, vs. Oca Rivera
Our fifth meeting for this tourney. I played the first bingo, ORACIES (77) midway of the game. He responded with ROJI (41) but I countered with KIDDY/KI$ (64) making use of his letter I doubling the TLS and the Y hitting the DWS. I was still comfortably ahead after my bingo of TALENTs (64). After his RUE (19), our score was 345-303 and I held CGQSUUV but there were still unseen ?EEEFGINRSWY with six tiles in the bag.
I have my first four options in mind:
SUQ n4 (37) blocking one bingo spot
VUGS a1 (30) blocking two bingo spots but opening the V and U
VUGS i2 (18) low scoring but limited bingo option for him, say -IVE ending
V(A)C 5a (8) keeping SUQ for the next turn and giving him slight chances to bingo next turn.
I chose SUQ (37). And here comes his (T)WEETiNG 4b (74+5)!
L 406-420, Record: 6-7
Round 14, vs. Mario Miranda
I was ahead up to move 8 then Mario hit ELUTION (79) in the TWS to lead 181-206. My back to back bingos of cARBONS (77) and VIOLERs (68) sealed the win for me.
W 436-357, Record: 7-7
Round 15, vs. Oca Rivera
His STIfFER (73) was answered by my READI(N)GS (66). Later, I played EREMITI(C) (95) in the TWS but he responded with POStEEN (82+5).
L 415-439, Record: 7-8
Prior to start of Round 16, Teodoro Martus already had 12 wins after beating Odette Rio at board 1 who had 10 wins. The Modified Gibson Rule was applied. His opponent was picked up in the middle of the current standing.
Round 16, vs. Francis Dizon
Francis had only one bingo, IRONIES (66) against four to me, DEIfIES (68), IO(D)INATE (68), NOvENAS (70) and SALTATO (79).

Round 01 vs. Odette Rio
She had REBOANT (66) in the early going. I had the two blanks to bingo with MEAtILY (68) and SONTIeS (75) but her power tiles did the damages, SEX (58), JIVY$ (33), CUZ (52) and ROQUET (32). I had AELNSTY in the endgame but her good move of ION (12) blocked my only bingo opening.
L 388-419, Record: 0-1
Round 2, vs. Oca Rivera
Oca already played in London WSC 2005 and finished 23rd over-all. His initial play of QAT gave me a good start to play (A)NTEATER (77) followed by a four timer, WAFFL(E)R (64). My GASAliE(R) (74) gave me a commanding lead til the end.
W 441-299, Record: 1-1
Round 3, vs. Antonio Malonzo
I had RACIStS (72) to start the game. Later he came back with LOADERS (75) and tR(A)MPLED (82) to lead 269-217. I struggled hard hitting RESINAT(E) (77) going into the endgame but his AZO (41) and YEANED (38) sealed the win for him.
L 395-410, Record: 1-2
Round 4, vs. Huub Luyk
My first rack was BEEPVWW and exchanged BEVWW, then Huub played COVED 8d (28). My good draw gave me (D)EPARTEE (86). Two more bingos AvOWERS (76) and SOUMING (76+5) pushed my lead further.
W 535-260, Record: 2-2
Round 5, vs. Teejay de Jesus
Despite my three bingos, HEAVIER (70), S(E)MiNARS (63) and ETESIAN(S) (60), Teejay managed to comeback with CISTRON (80), to lead 323-325. His error of FENE* in the endgame cost him the game.
W 422-373, Record: 3-2
Round 6, vs.Teodoro Martus
After his initial play of GROK$ (18), he got the two blanks successively to play Un(W)ISELY (76) and AUNTIEs (65) and led, 36-159. I was trounced early with another one, TRO(U)NCER (72), 67-261. My (E)ROTIZES (104) and JUNIORS (71) after his HEARTEN (80+5) reduced his lead by 120 points!
L 388-508, Record: 3-3
Round 7, vs. Oca Rivera
Our second meeting. My first rack AEEFGOQ forced me to exchanged six tiles leaving E. Then Oca played HOURA* which was challenged off the board. A good draw gave me LAIRIER h7 (66). He responded with HOAR g9 (26). ??DEINR came in and I chose the defensive parallel bingo, cINDERs i6 (81) and led, 147-26. But Oca still had arsenal left to fight back with VENEERS (75), POZ (40) and JA(N)E 4a (38) exposing the two TWS and even took the lead 340-345 emptying the bag. I had CFLOOPS against his CDENNTU. My out in two moves, CO(Z) n1 (28) left the two TWS open to setup my FLOPS f1 (14) after his DU(C)T 1l (27) won me the game.
W 394-372, Record: 4-3
Round 8, vs. Roger Parchamento
He had DIG(E)sTER (68) and THEINeS (71) against my SAUCIER (70). Very low scoring game for me.
