>Arie_Sinke: AAADEOQ -AAAOQ +0 0
#note This seems like a straightforward decision, but Quackle thinks ADE is better here - possibly because the probability of drawing a second A is diminshed. I think the more conventional choice has got to be better. Note: I need to win this game by 135 to win the tournament.
>Mack_Meller: FGI H7 FIG +14 14
>Arie_Sinke: ADEENUW I4 UNWED +19 19
#note This isn't great - I didn't come up with UNAWED in the same spot, which is a pretty clear improvement. It's also not clear that UNWED is better than the numerous fishy options I have available - they're probably comparable.
>Mack_Meller: HINW H1 WHIN +36 50
>Arie_Sinke: AABENTV G8 VAN +18 37
#note Not sure what to do here. The sim winner play of VANE in the same spot for one extra point strikes me as odd. VAN is probably okay or not a substantial error.
>Mack_Meller: AELT F7 LATE +22 72
>Arie_Sinke: ABELSTU 11G SUBLATE +75 112
#note Missed ABLUENTS 5D for 101.
>Mack_Meller: ?ILPRSV K7 PReV.ILS +62 134
>Arie_Sinke: EEFHIOR M8 HER.OF +26 138
#note I must have lost my will to win by this point - this play is really weak. I missed my bingo of FIREHOSE 14E here, but a variety of other plays look better than HEREOF, which suffers from its vowel heavy two tile leave. HELIO 13I for 24 looks like the best non-bingo option.
>Mack_Meller: CKTU E10 TUCK +23 157
>Arie_Sinke: AEIORUY 5I .OYAU +16 154
#note NOYAU is the sim winner. EUROKY 13A for 26 is an interesting option for a player who needs to win by 135, but a more conventional approach is probably called for here.
>Mack_Meller: EILMN L1 MENI.L +22 179
>Arie_Sinke: EEIIMRT 1L .IME +24 178
#note This looks fine.
>Mack_Meller: IZ I11 .IZ +24 203
>Arie_Sinke: DEINRTT 2J DI.TER +34 212
#note This is probably fine.
>Mack_Meller: AEEGRST 14C RESTAGE +86 289
>Arie_Sinke: ACDGNPT N12 PACT +25 237
#note It's probably appropriate to throw caution to the wind here. However, I might want to consider playing PANG instead in the same spot - CDT is just so much better than DGN.
>Mack_Meller: AEEIOOR 8M .OO +18 307
>Arie_Sinke: DDEGJNO C9 DODGE. +22 259
#note Setting up the J and giving myself a chance.
>Mack_Meller: ?AQ 15L QA.s +66 373
>Arie_Sinke: ABEJNOR B8 RAJ +54 313
#note Probably have a better shot at a miracle with this than with JEAN or JO.
>Mack_Meller: AISX 15F AXIS +69 442
>Arie_Sinke: BENOOOY A7 YOB +36 349
#note So I actually misentered this whole game - Mack played LANE and not LATE on turn 3 and I'm not in the mood for fixing it - the endgame as depicted didn't actually happen - he played out with RITE D6 for 12.
>Mack_Meller: EINR N6 IR.NE +15 457
