Notice

Dear Scrabblers,
1. Reiteration of Coach's lesson on tile tracking
Link to game of Nigel Richards VS Panupol: http://event.poslfit.com/cgi-bin/showgcg.pl?id=/kingscup2014/F2;turn=22
Refer to Move 1: FUMIEST, Common use of suffix IEST to form bingo
Refer to Move 13: BAC, BY, By tile tracking, Nigel knew that the chances of Panupol to utilise the triple word is extremely low and at the cost of low scoring and or wasting a blank or S
Nigel has kept J and K so the next move he would be able to play JOKE for 81 points
Refer to Move 17: ENATE, Nigel knew from tile tracking that he would most likely lose, Panupol would most likely have a bingo and or the Z
Nigel played ENATE as a YOLO move, it opens up the possibility of bingoing using the Q(his leave is great for Q words) and the A of ENATE exposes for the Z for 60+ points
According to coach, the move ENATE is the move that increased his chance of winning the most

Most important point: Tile Track, with tile tracking, you are able to end game properly and create a win from a losing game(more on this on Friday)
3. Bingo Stem test on SATIRE+? on Friday
Passing mark: One of each valid letter for ? (not required to learn ALL of them, just one from each letter)
eg. Satire+a= asteria...... Satire+w= waiters
Thanks,
Ze Ming
