>Jonathan_Lindh: EFIQVWY 8H VIEWY +36 36
#note Chicago Literacy Tournament: Game 6: The other VIEWY is preferred by a tad more on a static equity basis but since I had the Q I think this one is best for QI dumps for 21 instead of 11. However, given Nedd's tendency for very closed boards, the other other VIEWY may have been right after all.
>Nedd_Kareiva: ADLU L8 .AULD +18 18
>Jonathan_Lindh: BDEFIQS I7 Q. +21 57
#note 10J SQUIB or my play are very close. SQUIB is preferred by .6 and would have blocked POINTIER. Another bad break for me.
>Nedd_Kareiva: ?IINOPT J2 POINTI.r +78 96
#note I don't think Nedd has a bingo if I do SQUIB. Sigh.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BDEFISU 4I B.FID +22 79
#note Can't read my writing.
>Nedd_Kareiva: ADEELMO 5I O.E +20 116
>Jonathan_Lindh: DELLORS 2J .OLLED +18 97
#note Oof! So now we arrive at my 3rd missed bingo of the tournament. REDPOLLS! This was a bad one and could have altered the course of this game by a lot. -42.1
>Nedd_Kareiva: AET 1M ATE +22 138
#note The board is now very closed and that is very bad.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AERRSSX 9L .X +17 114
#note Best play!
>Nedd_Kareiva: CEU N9 ECU +21 159
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEKRRSS O6 ARKS +35 149
#note This or RAKERS in same spot. I'll take mine.
>Nedd_Kareiva: ENU 6J .UNE +10 169
#note Nedd is BLOCKING!
>Jonathan_Lindh: EFGLRST 7M FE. +19 168
#note Every option is bad here, but I like 5D FELSTONE to open up the board against Nedd. I had to run to the bathroom after this so I think that affected my thinking.
>Nedd_Kareiva: AERTT O11 TETRA +20 189
>Jonathan_Lindh: GLOORST H8 .OG +7 175
#note As good as anything! I need to open and everything stinks!
>Nedd_Kareiva: EI H8 ...IE +10 199
#note He's blocking again!
>Jonathan_Lindh: DELORST M12 OLD +11 186
#note OLDSTER is a no go.
>Nedd_Kareiva: AEGN 14J GAN.E. +24 223
#note That hurt. he's able to block and score.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BCERSST 5H B... +6 192
>Nedd_Kareiva: HM I12 HM +15 238
>Jonathan_Lindh: CEORSST 10F CO.S +13 205
#note And he blocks CROSSTIE! I have no clue what to do here.
>Nedd_Kareiva: J 9G J. +34 272
#note This play put him way in the lead and probably won him the game.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEIRRST -S +0 205
#note Threw back an R. What else to do?
>Nedd_Kareiva: HPT G12 PHT +20 292
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEIRSTU 14F U. +4 209
#note A dead SATIRE rack.
>Nedd_Kareiva: AIM 15H AMI +18 310
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEIRRST 14E R.. +3 212
#note Not this rack again. Maybe K14 AR? i'm not sure.
>Nedd_Kareiva: AEGIINV 15H ...N +8 318
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEEIRST 6B SERIATE +65 277
#note FINALLY! Best play and only bingo!
>Nedd_Kareiva: WZ E5 W.Z +30 348
#note Please don't block the E. Please don't block the E.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AGOORV C4 OV.RGOAd +63 340
#note YES!!!! !Best play, only bingo and a great find. Nedd held for a while and said after the game if he didn't have the Y he would have challenged. OVERGOAD is good. One of my best finds of the tourney.
>Nedd_Kareiva: IINNRSY B10 YINS +29 377
#note Best play for Nedd! Sadly he had the Y and could score 29 points. This officially clinched the game for him.
>Jonathan_Lindh: A F6 .A +13 353
#note Best play!
>Jonathan_Lindh: (INR) +6 359
#note REDPOLLS was the only major mistake of the game and it was a very costly one. I'm not sure I would have won after that, but I have no doubt the board would have developed much differently.
