Talking about the match, it's kind of reminiscent of a great tragedy on the first week of December. I was defeated very tragically by my senior. He must have been a pro that he played obviously well. As the result, I didn't make good words (with good points), just short words with quite small points. I wondered how did he easily put a bingo at the (almost) end of the game. The game ended unsuccessfully. I left out my time so he obviously won the game. Okay, thanks-sorry-bye! *going to toilet*
Now I'm thinking how scrabble-addicts can play so smoothly so extremely 'lethally'. Lethal, yes, lethal! Every movements is deadly. I've played once with a friend and I didn't think before that a very simple, short word can earn very big points, as well as bingo! And the same thing happened when I watched a friend was playing scrabble with his senior. This very simple, short, zombie-sounded word "Zonk" earned 66 points for him! Certainly, the special tiles helped gaining the points. And I wonder if I can learn the tricks of scrabble. Those experts must have learnt the tricks that they can play very well. A witness told me that in a round of scrabble match, the experts can stay at the center tiles while (still) gaining points. We often make 'chances' by putting our words on empty tiles. It actually gives the opponent chances to make words, with either big points or small points. But yeah actually, I cannot really play on the center tiles. My heart spiritedly wants to explore any other empty spaces on the board and occupies the special tiles! Well, I rarely make bingos. So sad I have to say that making bingo is a miracle for me :(
So the conclusion is, I lost the game from my senior, with a total margin of 70 points. It made me surprised and very tired, and sooner after I finished the game, I felt so fed up with scrabble. Uh..
