#note I missed FLOWN/POWN#. This is a textbook example of my newishness# at Collins. I know the word POWN, but I'm not used to thinking about the hook yet. Quackle likes VOW also, but I'd rather play off an extra consonant.

#note I think I rushed here and didn't realize how many tiles I would be leaving myself with, but playing short to avoid emptying the bag doesn't look that hopeful here. There's no chance to get bingos down, and I need the points. I didn't spot ESCAR, which might give me a better chance, but it's looking bleak in any case.
>Bob_Lipton: EGGLTUU D8 GUL.. +14 396
#note Bob played this quickly, which surprised me. I think he was somewhat short of time, but not desperately so. He should have played GJU# which wins handily. It threatens an out of GLUTEI G1. He wins many other ways too. After this, he should still win if he spots GJU, but it's much hairier.
>Dave_Koenig: DEIRST 8A DIR.E +21 399
#note I had around 5 minutes left, so no time excuses. I didn't see GJU and thought that if I made a decent scoring out in two I had a chance to come back. The best I could see was RIDGE/DIRGE, but which one to play? I didn't think he was going out, but I was afraid he might play some CSW 5 that I didn't know. I thought there was more likely to be a 5 with the R than the D, so I decided to play it this way instead of the other just to make the R harder to use. (For example, what if guert* was a word?) But in so doing I set up an easy high scoring play for him.
>Bob_Lipton: EGTU C7 U.GE +25 421
#note Almost immediately after I pressed my clock, I was kicking myself for allowing this. It turns out that even if I had played RIDGE, Bob can still win with GJU, but he has to find it. I made it too easy on him.
