>Steve_Hartsman: BIINRRT K4 BIR. +14 31
>Winter: DEOR L3 RODE +23 44
>Steve_Hartsman: EINRTTU 6B NUTTIER +67 98
#note 2I placement worth 7 more points, but risky
>Winter: CEOPS 8K SCOPE +44 88
>Steve_Hartsman: BEGIIMT M2 BEG +22 120
#note Chickened out on 2I BIGTIME for 84. Huge mistake.
>Winter: EOV N1 VOE +23 111
>Steve_Hartsman: AIIMTUX E9 .UIT +26 146
#note Saw 5B IXIA for 39, but was holding the X and hoping for something more...
>Winter: AEGNNOT 13D NEGATON +74 185
#note N8 PENTAGON for 2 more not worth the risk
>Steve_Hartsman: AAILMTX 9M XI +38 184

>Winter: ACO 10M OCA +34 219
>Steve_Hartsman: AAHLMST 12I HALMA +27 211
#note Missed another bingo, though I didn't know it: 14I MALTHAS 86. I've committed the top 13,000 7s and 8s by probability into SuperMemo so far. This one comes in at 13,787. Sigh...
>Winter: JU 12C JU. +24 243
>Steve_Hartsman: ADNRSTZ O10 .DZ +23 234
#note Agonized a long time over this one...
>Winter: GIN O10 ...ING +51 294
#note ...knowing this was the risk...
>Steve_Hartsman: AIMNRST 15H SMARTIN. +86 320
#note ...but it gives me a nice spot
>Winter: EOW 11I OWE +28 322
>Steve_Hartsman: EEFFPYY 13L YE +21 341
#note I see C5 PUFFY, but it doesn't score much more, and it sets up a potentially juicy TW. I have to assume he has both blanks, and I need to keep scoring tiles and keep the board closed...
>Winter: ADLU 5D AULD +21 343
>Steve_Hartsman: EEFFIPY 4A FIEF +40 381
#note Holding on to the F's pays off.
>Winter: AEL A1 ALE. +21 364
>Steve_Hartsman: EEPRSVY C2 VE. +12 393
#note PYE accomplishes the same thing, but leaves less flexibility.
>Winter: ??IKLTW B1 We +23 387
>Steve_Hartsman: AEPRSY 9H SPY +26 419
#note 7A YAPS/YEPS for 2 more
>Winter: ?IKLT O3 KITtL. +18 405
#note I hang on for a close win, giving me a chance to cash in the lucrative NAST. Unfortunately, I lose the KOH match to Tim Adamson...
