#note 5C VEINU(L)ET -_____-
>Nigel_Richards: ACKQ K3 Q.ACK +40 114
>Euclid: EHILNTX I7 HEX +53 73
>Nigel_Richards: CFIO J8 FOCI +31 145
#note Nigel is just too good in board control, after this play I was a bingo behind but it was already very difficult to bingo on this board without having an S.
>Euclid: AIILLNT K11 NIL +10 83
#note Thought about L2 LI(E) but Nigel was too likely to have an N or an S to hook QI. Might have been panicking too much trying to open up the board with NIL but I really didn't quite know what to do.
>Nigel_Richards: AHMU 5E HAU.M +24 169
>Euclid: ABDILST 6D DIB +27 110
>Nigel_Richards: NY 7E NY +19 188
>Euclid: ALNNOST L10 ANNO +17 127
#note No bingo, no scoring tiles. Even though I was 78 behind I probably couldn't play L12 NONA after Nigel just played NY?
>Nigel_Richards: ?AENPRT M2 PAsTERN +78 266
#note This game felt like being out of reach after this move if it hasn't already been.
>Euclid: AIILSTT N1 LIT +16 143
#note Still no bingo and no scoring power. Tried to open up a high-scoring bingo lane here but was already losing hope at this point.
>Nigel_Richards: ?EIMOOT O3 EMOTIOn +86 352
#note And Nigel hammered that spot :)
>Euclid: AIRSTVW 4C VAW +28 171
#note Was just trying to reduce spread now, given that it was towards the end of the tournament and cutting spread here could really help with my tournament placing.
>Nigel_Richards: GIO I11 GIO +10 362
#note Didn't realise this in the game, but Nigel was probably trying to block the S-hook on BLEATER here such that even if I bingoed it would score significantly less?
>Euclid: AIPRSST H12 PIRS +36 207
#note Yes I mentioned about cutting spread in the last move but now I missed RAPISTS. Shocking.
>Nigel_Richards: EIJ C2 JI.E +28 390
>Euclid: AAFGLST 8A FLAGS +44 251
>Nigel_Richards: UWZ M13 WUZ +42 432
>Euclid: AADDTUY 2C .UDY +23 274
#note No plays to the triple from the Z. Trying to open up the top row in case Nigel scores with the Z.
>Nigel_Richards: EGOR N12 REGO +34 466
>Euclid: AADDEOT 15M ..A +36 310
>Nigel_Richards: EIORRST A8 .ROSTIER +86 552
>Euclid: ADDEEOT 1F ODD +20 330
>Nigel_Richards: NS K3 .....S +28 580
>Euclid: AEET 14D EATE. +7 337
#note I deserved to lose by almost 250 in this game after missing the easy bingoes, and Nigel murdered my spread.
>Euclid: (N) +2 339
