World Simultaneous Scrabble Record On Tuesday 11th May Pete Finley made an attempt on Chris Hawkins’ World Simultaneous Scrabble Record. This is Pete’s report: “Subject to ratification by the Guinness people, we did it. I had nineteen opponents in the end (one opponent couldn’t make it) and I won 10 of the 19 games, finishing in 2 hours 47 minutes. There were 9 opponents from Cleveland SC and 10 from Middlesbrough Gamers Club. I beat the Scrabble players 7-2 and the Gamers 10-0. My two conquerors were Neil Fulton and Richard Moody. I played two moves of over 100, VERITAs and HEADRIGS, and other pleasing plays included ALAIMENT (with three overlaps) and AEQUORIN. I had two phonies challenged off - UNHOpING* (which was a desperate attempt to win an otherwise lost game) and GRAYEN*, which was just a mistake. In both cases I told my opponent to challenge because I wasn’t sure of the words. On reflection, I’m sure that my time is a very ‘soft’ record - easily beatable. Although my helpers were recording my scores for me, I did total up and announce my score for every move. If this is deemed unnecessary, I estimate that at least 15 minutes could be shaved off in this way - say 3 or 4 seconds per move, average of 15 moves per game? I could have also saved time by playing the letters out quickly in games where I was well ahead. Even in these games I did make some attempt to play something that resembled the best move. Blitzing to the finish in games that are already won could save more time. I suspect Chris Hawkins may fancy another go at the record now, and Brett Smitheram has been toying with the idea too. Good luck! Many thanks to Chris Dickson of MGC, who organised the record attempt, my wife Laura, Pauline Johnson, Sam Beckwith and Tony Davis for being helpers, and all of my opponents. The Gamers’ names would not be familiar to you, but the Scrabblers were Neil and Richard, as mentioned above, plus Trish Johnson, Yvonne Goodridge, Barbara McLaren, Flo Davies, Jessie Brown, Lis Williams and Margaret Stockton.” Pauline Johnson adds: “As one of the helpers, I can vouch that it was no easy task to play that number of people. For erstwhile organisers the room was laid out in an open square so that Pete could move around on a chair on the inner edge from table to table. He went as quickly as he could while the helpers tried to stay ahead of him and keep his opponents playing as rapidly as possible. Pete would play his move and announce the score leaving Laura to adjudicate any challenge, write down the score and replenish Pete’s rack. A second helper then came along when the opponent played their move and verified that play.For the opening move Pete started on all the even numbered tables and replied on all the odd ones. This enabled him to do one circuit while his “odd “ opponents were playing their moves. After the initial circuit he played every table in order. The facilities at our disposal were excellent and our thanks were given to Chris Dickson for doing the administration work with the centre and Guinness.” 20 204 N David Acton (GM) 203 Y Phil Appleby (GM) 199 Y Harshan Lamabadusuriya (Exp) 198 Y Nick Ball 197 Y Andrew Davis (GM) 196 N Brett Smitheram (GM) 195 Y Mark Nyman (GM) 195 Y Andrew Perry (GM) 193 Y Helen Gipson (GM) 193 Y Adam Logan 193 N Shanker Menon 192 Y Clive Spate (GM) 191 Y Paul Allan (GM) 190 Y Andrew Cook (GM) 189 Y Russell Byers (GM) 187 Y John Grayson (GM) 185 Y Pete Finley (GM) 185 Y Terry Kirk (GM) 184 Y Wayne Kelly 184 Y Karl Khoshnaw (Exp) 184 Y Neil Scott (Exp) 183 N Sam Kantimathi 182 Y George Gruner 182 Y Allan Simmons (GM) 182 Y Alec Webb (Exp) 182 Y David Webb (GM) 181 Y Femi Awowade (Exp) 181 Y Elie Dangoor (Exp) 181 Y Chris Hawkins 181 Y Adam Philpotts 181 Y Gareth Williams (GM) 180 Y Brian Sugar (GM) 179 Y Stewart Holden 179 Y Ed Martin 179 Y Steve Perry 179 Y Evan Simpson (GM) 178 Y Martin Fowkes (Exp) 178 Y Jared Robinson 177 Y Danny Bekhor 177 Y Di Dennis (GM) 177 N Gary Oliver 176 N Gerry Carter 176 Y Richard Evans (Exp) 176 Y Chris Vicary 175 Y Barry Grossman 175 N Jake Jacobs 175 N Lee Jones 175 Y Lewis Mackay 175 Y Gary Polhill (Exp) 174 N Catherine Costello 174 Y Philip Nelkon (GM) 174 Y Austin Shin R A T I N G S L I S T (GM) Grand Master (Exp) Expert ABSP Member?
