>Geoffrey_Newman: IIIIIII -IIIIIII +0 0
>Spherulitic: CCDEGST -CCDG +0 0
#note Note: I need to win by 119 to win the tournament. A loss and I slip from second to third.
>Geoffrey_Newman: AFX H7 FAX +26 26
>Spherulitic: AEINRST 8H .NTISERA +77 77
#note Want one of the eights -- if I'm going to win by 119, it'll be because I'm bagging him, and I want an opener board where my bingoes will play. Maybe SANTERIA is best for that reason as well, but def want one of the eights I think.
>Geoffrey_Newman: AAKV L4 KAVA. +24 50
>Spherulitic: ?FGIOUV 5J UV. +12 89
#note Hey, a bunny right off! Want to bingo as soon as possible -- open lanes, keep the board unclogged. Opening J6 for cheap points helps as well.
>Geoffrey_Newman: ERY M3 RYE +28 78
>Spherulitic: ?CEFGIO N6 FO.GE +19 108
>Geoffrey_Newman: INNORST 11H INTRONS +74 152
#note Dude, if you bingo, I'm not going to win by enough to win the tournament.
>Spherulitic: ?CEILTU 12B LInECUT +71 179
#note Worth noting that I completely blanked on the hook to RYE for this entire game.

>Spherulitic: EMOORTW 11C MOW +31 210
>Geoffrey_Newman: AAZ C9 ZA..A +52 220
#note It's about here that I think winning the tournament may be out of reach, and just need to win the game to ice second.

#note Sweet, second bunny.
>Geoffrey_Newman: ABDEILR 13G RAILBED +80 340
>Spherulitic: ?DEEIMP O1 IMPEDE +41 339
#note Playing off six keeping a blank always feels kind of badass.
>Geoffrey_Newman: BO N1 BO +20 360
>Spherulitic: ?ACHIUW A1 HAW +35 374
#note Q likes CUsHAW. Plays at B6 are right out as they give too much back. Opp has a mid-20s play on row 14, but it will give me row 15 back. If I play CUSHAW, 1) it empties, so he'll go out first; 2) he has a sweet lane to bing out; and 3) I'll be a tempo ahead but CUSHAW empties so he's pretty easily out in two with a 20-something play on row 15 to start. I guess 3G WHA (which I didn't really consider) takes out the only scoring spot for the outstanding H and may be better than A1 HAW. Of course if he has the H, then there might even be a biggish play on row 14. Hmm...
>Geoffrey_Newman: DN H3 N.D +4 364
#note He doesn't have the H, so he blocks my ECH.
>Spherulitic: ?CEHITU 14A CUsH +32 406
>Spherulitic: EIT (challenge) +5 411
#note Challenged because it's the game.
