My Second Attempt at Collins

At last, I was able to snatch a championship in my second attempt to play Collins mini-tourney which was held on June 10 at O boy Cafe de Magallanes, Makati. Though is was'nt easy as I started slowly with a 1-3 win-loss record then won 5 straight games which include a last round conquest against Hyatt Basman wherein I needed a +124 point spread to win it. I would note that I made some lapses in this tourney especially my round 3 and round 6 games against Teejay and Melvin.

Teejey de Jesus started PILED 8d (22) to which I played a 4-timer LION(I)ZER (118) followed by REX(50), KAYOS (52) and SNARINg (63) good enough to erode his 9-timer ELE(C)TORS (140) as I led 283-251. I managed to hold on and won, 496-426.

Up next was Carlos Acain. I played KITED/EV (30) missing KIEVE at the start. He answered with JO(T) 26. ACNWY came in and thought three options to play ANEW/CVY (29), WAN(E)Y/ECV (28) or WAVY/CEN (26). I chose the latter missing the best move W(I)NCEY (33). Using the open W in between two TWS, he played S(W)EARInG (158). That's the second 9-timer scored against me in this tourney and proved to be the turning point of this game. Loss, 371-464.

Round 3, a return bout against Teejay. This game marked three phoneys played each of us which were challenged off. I squandered a lead, 192-104 as he laid down 3 bingos, RERAILED (73), GAROTING (83) and FAWNIEST (106), a 4-timer against my AStRIDE (79) and MASOnED (80). Loss, 424-458.

Holding a 1-2 win-loss record at this point, Zaldy Malto was my next opponent who have been inactive for almost a year which gave me the edge in this game as I won convincingly, 486-305.

Mario Libiran was helpless after my two bingos. Nothing spectacular although a win was my priority at this point, 515-310.

It's now 3-2 and Melvin Dalangin came in who was also struggling hard in this tourney. I still recalled his last round game victory against me the previous week so I need to be ready for him. The two blanks gave me QuESTION (84) and REaLISMS (72), good enough to keep the lead even after he setup his Z in the TLS playing LAZE, ZA$ (66). I countered with GAPIER% (35) in TWS in return to lead 304-235. In the endgame, I held FKNORTU against his EGHIINT as I maintained a 342-319 lead, and played FUNK, KY (20) then realized my miscue after I pressed the clock. That could have been his golden opportunity to lay down his bingo to hook E below F on my last move but missed it. Kibbitzers told Melvin after the game that NIGHTIE, FE could have given him the victory. He told me: "I can't sleep tonight because of this big miss!" I replied: "Better ask your wife to wear NIGHTIE tonight." And the players burst into laughters. As I reviewed this game at home, I discovered that FUNK was the best move in a SOWPODS game but the worse move in a Collins game.

Our third meeting in the penultimate round, Teejay had AgONISE (68) in his 3rd turn but I had 3 bingos, DESIRES (76), ENTAiLED (74) and METHANOL (65). Won, 493-323.

Last round against Hyatt Basman who had 6-1, +818 against my 5-2, +571. My arithmetic computation revealed that I needed +124 points spread to win the championship. Hyatt initially thought of defaulting his last round for his championship victory as I could only earn +50 points spread if that was the case but proceeded to play instead. With that, I respect him for his good sportsmanlike manner. At the start, I kept separate tally of our current scores and +124 for him. I started with a bingo, HURTERS (78) then SORORATE (61) in my 4th turn to lead 189-75, -10 points shy of my separate tally. At one point, I was ahead 315-191, (exactly 124 point spread separating between us) when Hyatt spent too much time before playing UNMIXED (18) on the open X.

Going into the endgame, I held my 11th rack, ?ABEEGI and our scores were 397-260 (137 points separating between us and +13 point lead to my championship) with unseen ?AAACIINRU and 3 tiles in the bag. I thought that the 13 point lead was not safe even if I opt to block the only open D along O-column as the other blank was still unseen. BEG 10m was actually my initial choice but played otherwise.

I played BE(E) 7l (15) and drew AA in the bag then he replied with (D)ULCIANI* (L as blank) which made me hold my breath for a few seconds. I challenged it and was off. This cost him the game and the championship. DULCIANA was the correct one as we checked it after the game. Actual final score: 462-303.

Looking at the board position and to make the Quackle simulation realistic in order to obtain an accurate percentage of winning, I configured the scores adding 124 to his score to make it 397-384. And after 545 iterations:
GI 10m 9 pts 100%
BI 10m 11 pts 100%
....
....
BE(E) 7l 15 pts 90.44%

Quackle gave BEE 7l a 90.44% chance of winning. I have not yet tried figuring out the possibilities of tile pickup and scenarios that would prove a 100% winning chances after GI or BI play but I guessed Quackle is a good Scrabble endgame solver.

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.
W 469-327 Bingos: 3-1 Me: ??JXSS Robbie: QZSS Equity Loss:??

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.
