>Dave_Koenig: ADIMOTY 8H ATOMY +28 28
#note A small but significant inaccuracy. DAIMYO is best. MYOID 1.3 back. ATOMY 2.5 back.
>Jere_Mead: OORT 9J ROOT +16 16
>Dave_Koenig: ADEIINX 10F XENIA +35 63
#note Best.
>Jere_Mead: EFRT 9D TREF +29 45
>Dave_Koenig: DDGIINW L8 ..WING +26 89
#note 3.3 points behind NIDING, which I didn't see. I might not have been sure of the word, even if I did see it.
>Jere_Mead: IQ K11 QI +46 91
>Dave_Koenig: AADDIIV 8A DIVA +30 119
#note NAVAID. This is a huge error, but maybe an instructive one. When you have one of these Noah's ark racks, it's easy to think that your rack just sucks and not expect to find a big play. I have no doubt that I didn't think about this play for very long. I saw I had a simple 30 point play that cleared out all the duplicates and settled for it without examining closely for something better. As Emanuel Lasker said, "When you find a good move, look for a better one."
>Jere_Mead: CLU F6 CUL.. +20 111
>Dave_Koenig: AABDIKO M12 KOA +27 146
#note I go on a good run here and make best plays on this and the next three moves. But don't worry. I'll start stinking up the joint again before the game is over.
>Jere_Mead: EGINNWZ B7 W.ZENING +96 207
>Dave_Koenig: ABDFILO A12 LOAF +32 178
>Jere_Mead: AORT C10 RATO +21 228
>Dave_Koenig: BDDIJMY N5 BIDDY +22 200
#note I'm not thrilled about what this does to the board, but I'm still relatively close in score, and I need to clear this junk out of my rack quickly.
>Jere_Mead: AAINRU 15J URANIA +29 257
>Dave_Koenig: ?DJLMOP 7E J.MP +22 222
#note JO/JINK sims about even with this. The leave is consonant heavy but has good synergy. I like keeping row 6 and column I open, but the problem is that bingos I can draw are unlikely to fit on this board.
>Jere_Mead: EEEPSV O1 PEEVES +51 308
>Dave_Koenig: ?DELLNO M4 DOL +12 234
#note RONDELLE. A horrendous miss, especially because that's a rack that I'd practiced several times shortly before the tournament. After this, despite hitting a bingo and pulling the second blank, there's not enough game left to catch up.
>Jere_Mead: BEIRT L1 BITER +32 340
>Dave_Koenig: ?EEGLNR 2F GREENL.t +64 298
>Jere_Mead: CHT H1 T.CH +39 379
#note Jere pointed out to me after the game that I can spell ASSHOLE with this rack, which is an apt description of what I played like.
