>Tasha_Asberry: ?CEFINR 8D CoINFER +78 78
#note FaNCIER for two more points. And I'm only posting this club game because it's the very first game that I consciously tried to pay attention in end game. I'm trying to improve, you see. Will I find the correct sequence or will I make a Tasha-like blunder?
>Al_Helfgott: EFW 7I FEW +24 24
>Tasha_Asberry: EORTUUY 9H EURO +20 98
#note Al told me after the game that I blocked a bingo with EURO (he had something through the N). Of course, 7E YOU also blocks the bingo and keeps a better leave. To be honest, I wouldn't have played it had I seen it. Well, if I were playing Andrew, I would have played YOU had I seen it. But I'm playing Al so EURO is better.
>Al_Helfgott: EO 6K OE +7 31
#note ...
>Tasha_Asberry: AEKTUVY 5K YAK +40 138
#note Any number of threes or fours can go here and I saw them all. I chose YAK because it's the only play that scores more than 35 and prevents any parallel plays at 4L.
>Al_Helfgott: AEIOPRS L9 SOAPIER +75 106
>Tasha_Asberry: AEOTUVY 15G VOYEU. +36 174
>Al_Helfgott: DEHITT 10C TITHED +25 131
>Tasha_Asberry: AIINPTT 11B PITA +20 194
#note If were playing Ellen I would have just played PAINT (I saw it and passed it up). But I'm playing Al, so a play on row 11 is better. I do like TITIAN better though. I was actually looking for a six that would fit nicely, but I just didn't see it.
>Al_Helfgott: AHM 14H HAM +34 165
>Tasha_Asberry: AINNOST 13C ANOINTS +81 275
>Al_Helfgott: AIILLOT G1 ILLATIO. +60 225
>Tasha_Asberry: DDJLOOU 14A JUDO +29 304
>Al_Helfgott: Q 6F Q. +31 256
>Tasha_Asberry: BDELNOX 1G .NDEX +39 343
#note Trying INBOX* would have been downright insulting. I passed up on K11 BOX (which sims near the bottom) because I wanted to block row 1. I didn't think he would have a 3x3, but there's no need to just give up an 80 point bingo.
>Al_Helfgott: ABC M2 BAC. +24 280
>Tasha_Asberry: ?BELORW 4C gROW.BLE +80 423
>Al_Helfgott: AAR A12 RA.A +36 316
>Tasha_Asberry: GMNRSTU 2J NUM.S +35 458
>Al_Helfgott: EGGILNS N5 SNIGGLE +74 390
#note This play surprised me. I saw bingos in the pool, but not this one. In fact, I almost held the play, but didn't. I don't even remember LEGGINS/ NIGGLES/ SNIGGLE. Man, I just got through reviewing the low prob stuff. Mid prob stuff next then!
>Tasha_Asberry: EEGIRTV O11 RIVET +29 487
#note Okay that's it. I'm tired of this messing up the endgame crap. I'm gonna practice real hard and I'm gonna be an endgame master by February! I was just trying to block DAZE while giving myself an out. Well, this is improvement from how I usually do in endgame. Normally, I'll make a play that has a valuation of -9.5 or something.
