Re: Apterous Winter Closed Week 3
Myself and J Levinson scheduled our game for tonight, erroneously believing that Sunday was the last day for matches. Can we still play, or is it too late?
Sorry to have cocked it up.

Re: Apterous Winter Closed Week 3
Charlie Reams 72 - 20 Stuart Arnot
Stuart couldn't seem to get started in this game, while I played steadily and surprised myself by nailing a tricky numbers game on 9.9 seconds.
Charlie Reams 70-60 Stuart Arnot
A completely different story: I played well but with both of us maxing 7 of the first 8 rounds, I just couldn't shake him. Deadlocked on 60-60, we faced a disappointingly easy conundrum which required a second for me to talk myself into (is VAPOUR a verb?). Stuart had spotted it too and I only narrowly outbuzzed him.
Cheers Stuart, could easily have been 1-1 on another day.

Re: Apterous Winter Closed Week 3
Michael Wallace 2 - 0 Matthew Tassier
Matthew Tassier 70 - 95 Michael Wallace
I completely blank on the first numbers but manage to drag it back with some (for me) moderately consistent lettering. Matthew's spots of ALPACA and PERUSAL were the highlights of the game, imo.
Michael Wallace 100 - 97 Matthew Tassier
Very flat for the most part, the difference coming from Matthew's spot of DIOPTRE. Fortunately I got lucky on the conundrum (all too often you find yourself behind at the conundrum and something impossible comes out), to squeak through. Matthew even had VIOLATOR noted down in round 11, which would have won it for him.

Speed games:
Matthew Tassier 53 - 31 Tom Rowell
Tom Rowell 45 - 51 Matthew Tassier
Two fairly unimpressive games, except maybe for Tom's DEACONED, and I survived a crucial conundrum to record my first 2-0 victory.

Re: Apterous Winter Closed Week 3
Well fuck me. Just played the greatest game of all time.
Kirk Bevins 89 - 83 Ben Wilson
And then this beaut....
Kirk Bevins 151 - 135 Ben Wilson
With 12 maxes in a row I got excited, including FOUR nines in a row. Was incredible. Flake and ambulance city. But wait, round 13 I thought I'd maxed but I didn't --- Ben is right back in the game now with his FIFTH consecutive nine and I'm kicking myself for missing it -- would have been on for a mammoth score.
A crucial conundrum and I nail it in 0.8 seconds to secure the 2-0 win, a 151-135 victory and a 14 max game, although had I knew SPOONIER = POISONER I could have had a 169 game, smashing Conor's record that lots thought would never be beaten. Argh!!!!
This is one for the thread of brag, the thread of frustration AND the game of the year thread.

Re: Apterous Winter Closed Week 3
From the speed demon:
Lee 18 - 52 Feist
I spot a couple decent 8's. In round 7 I make up a word, but that's okay because the dictionary beat me to it so it counts.
Feist 50 - 38 Lee
I start this game by spotting Peter 18 points, but get both the numbers and take the crucial for the win.

My speed demon games against Ian resulted in one win each:
Julie Taylor 46 - 29 Ian Dent
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=150688
Julie Taylor 34 - 46 Ian Dent
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=150699
wd for Ian, getting a 9 in a 10 second round. It's not often I cause a man to get ERECTIONS these days.
My main tourney game against Lesley was 2-1 to me:
Lesley Hines 81 - 62 Julie Taylor
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=150721
Lesley Hines 84 - 93 Julie Taylor
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=150736
Julie Taylor 96 - 95 Lesley Hines
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=150755
Lesley lost a very close game there, despite getting 2 9s. That seems sort of familiar.......

Apterous Winter Closed Week 3.5
Since it's not really a surprise, the three matches (one extra next week!) for the Speed Demon have been posted on the website. Hopefully the advance notice will help us get all the games in by the end of next Saturday (I'm looking at you, pool B).

Week 2 - Speed Demon Pool B
Apologies should have posted earlier....
James Hurrell 1-1 Oliver Garner
Oliver comfortably took game 1...
James Hurrell 41-71 Oliver Garner
then I hit back with a decent (unusually so) conundrum spot to pinch game 2. Honours even.
James Hurrell 43-39 Oliver Garner
Thanks for the games Oliver - feel 1-1 isn't quite fair on you.

Nick Wainwright 57-63 Innis Carson
Nick Wainwright 47-55 Innis Cason
Two good contests, including two nines from Nick in the first game. I had to come back from behind in both cases, narrowly winning on the conundrum each time. Well played Nick, could have gone either way.

Henry Meier 1-2 Lee Simmonds
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=151802 Henry 114 - 96 Lee
Good game to start, Henry taking an early 8 point lead in rd 2 with latticed. Despite a couple of nice spots of my own, I could not close the gap thus ensuring a crucial conundrum. A fairly quick spot by Henry and deservedly 1-0 to him.

Again, I fell behind in rd 2 and then further behind in rd 4 with a word I really should have spotted! However, it could have been worse and game over had I not seen the 9 in rd 3 at the last second. After clawing back 1 round and with Henry missing a fairly straightforward numbers in rd 14, I found myself ahead for the first time in 29 rounds but still facing a crucial conundrum. Fortunately, a quick spot by me ensured a decider.

A combination of not great letters and perhaps nervous tension made for an inauspicious start to game 3. However, it was notable for both of us offering the same words and numbers solution in the first 7 rounds. I managed to break the deadlock in rd 8 and then a further winning rd on the last letters meant avoiding another crucial conundrum.
Great games, I thought and another day could easily have gone Henry's way.

Re: Apterous Winter Closed Week 3
Me and Simon Myers finally got round to playing our flight match. We started off on good form but eventually went downhill. Luckily Simon deteriorated at a faster rate than me, and I managed to seal the deal 2-1, despite my medical hindrance of Conundrum Tourette's in Game 1 and Fat fingers in game 3.

Championship Flight:
Innis Carson 2-1 Oliver Garner
Oliver 82-114 Innis
Oliver 84-78 Innis

Close stuff throughout, Oliver's excellent spot of NANOMETRE led him to victory in the second game, but I narrowly won the decider.
