>Stefan_Rau: AEILORR H4 REOIL +12 12
#note Nice brain-twister of a rack to kick off the tourney. My play is fine.....as is OR....or ORA....or ORIEL.....or trading OR.....or trading IOR......or whatever.
>Chris_Lipe: FGO I7 FOG +24 24
>Stefan_Rau: AEIORTU -IOU +0 12
#note Yeesh, more of the same on turn #2. Trading IOU is fine....as is OURA(R)I......or OURI(E)......or whatever.
>Chris_Lipe: ANNOSTU 5D TONN.AUS +82 106
>Stefan_Rau: AEORTUW J9 OUTWEAR +67 79
#note Or OUTSWEAR/OUTSWARE for six fewer points. I don't mind keeping things open.
>Chris_Lipe: ACDEHI 15F CHAI.ED +45 151
>Stefan_Rau: DEEEIOP 11E EPIDO.E +40 119
>Chris_Lipe: IMV 4C VIM +24 175
>Stefan_Rau: ?DEEFQS J4 S.Q +32 151
#note No, I'm not going to play SQUEEFED, not even against Lipe.
>Chris_Lipe: EHINT 12J .HITEN +31 206
>Stefan_Rau: ?DEEFII O8 DEFI.ItE +149 300
#note And boom goes the dynamite.
>Chris_Lipe: U F10 U. +6 212
>Stefan_Rau: CJLNRUX D11 LUX +31 331
#note I was all set to play CRUX at 10D, and that's probably still the move even though it's now worth 8 fewer. CRUX at 12B is 35 but it doesn't seem prudent to be furnishing two more juicy lanes after his fish. I guess there's really nothing wrong with LUX though.
>Chris_Lipe: IMT 13B MI.T +26 238
>Stefan_Rau: ABCJLNR N6 CRAB +21 352
#note This wins the sim for the strong defense.
>Chris_Lipe: BEZ 12A ZEB. +33 271
>Stefan_Rau: AEJLNOP 14A PEN +25 377
#note Alas, he did not supply the A I required.
>Chris_Lipe: NOO 4J .OON +10 281

>Chris_Lipe: AW O1 AW. +18 299
>Stefan_Rau: AAALLNR N1 LA. +18 430
>Chris_Lipe: VY G11 .VY +13 312
>Stefan_Rau: AAELNRR E8 LAN. +6 436
#note May as well block the last lane.
>Chris_Lipe: ?GRS A8 GRoS. +42 354
>Stefan_Rau: AEGIRRT 9C GR.TE +14 450
#note Heh, IRR(IT)ATE is cute.
>Chris_Lipe: DEKSY N12 .KED +29 383
>Stefan_Rau: AIR C7 RA.I +6 456
#note Yeah, RIA/A(LANE).
