KARACHI, Feb 6: The day-long 6th Ranking Scrabble Tournament was held at Beach Luxury Hotel here on Sunday.
Waseem Khatri staved off a strong challenge from Tariq Pervez to cling on to the top position by the skin of his teeth. Waseem won seven matches with a spread of 621 while Tariq Pervez also won seven matches but missed out on the top slot with a spread of 619. This was the narrowest of margins separating the top positions.
Meanwhile, Inayatullah finished third with six wins and a spread of 703. The star of the show, however, was 14-year-old Moizullah Baig.
Fresh from his win at the recent inter-school championship Moiz stunned everyone by beating several top-rated players including Waseem Khatri.
