>Hubert_Wee: ENNOQSV 8M EVO +21 111
>Nigel_Richards: ACILMTU 11E CULTI.M +44 151
#note H1 climates and 4A amuck are also options, albeit a bit worse
>Hubert_Wee: EIINNQS F10 Q.IN +33 144
#note Could have risked adding the E with only 1 S unseen
>Nigel_Richards: ABBEEFU 14B BAUBEE +40 191
>Hubert_Wee: CEILNSY 15F SLY +35 179
#note An odd play considering Hubert could have nicely played nicely, leaving an S.
>Nigel_Richards: EEEFIWY 15A WEY +36 227
>Hubert_Wee: AACEINX 4H XE.IC +44 223
#note 9L AX keeps a better leave. K4 EXIT scores more and doesnt expose the X to the triple but the Z is unseen
>Nigel_Richards: AEEFIIN H1 FAI. +42 269
>Hubert_Wee: ?AAAMNR 6C NA.A +23 246
#note Hubert's house must not have a panoramic view...
Granted though, panorama is quite hard to spot.
Apparently Hubert's rack is also an anagram of amarant and maranta (Relax, alll unplayable)
But honestly, i think AGA is a better play then naga. The leave seems a bit better but i'm not sure.
>Nigel_Richards: ADEEIIN I1 EID. +19 288
>Hubert_Wee: ?AGMORT 13A MOG +31 277
#note 13E angstrom, 13A morgan, O5 tomogram are the best options here aside from mog.
>Nigel_Richards: AEEINOV 12K OVINE +22 310
#note Interesting to note that the 4D spot has been unclaimed up to now. Nigel probably might be thinking of sticking the W there at some point.
>Hubert_Wee: ?AINRRT O2 ANTeRI.R +58 335
#note O7 Rotiferan may have come down from Nigel if he had this rack
>Nigel_Richards: AEHNPTW A8 ANTHE. +36 346
#note Nigel does manage to draw the W and anthem allows him to keep the W for later.
>Hubert_Wee: DEIOORU 13M OU +10 345
#note Hubert missed the second blank with this draw and unfortunately drew a weak rack instead.
Although ou may not have been the best play. The best play i think is Quackle's suggestion of F2 ouija.
Ou may have been to block a possible zones or zings etc but then again, if Nigel had the Z, Hubert loses regardless (The Z can still score at 2N).
Ouija does not block the n BUT it does block the 4D scoring spot. This would put nigel at a bad spot AND give hubert the Z which will guarantee him the win.
Probably Hubert's only chance to win was drawing the Z,W or ? and he should have gone for that by playing atleast 3 tiles, emptying the bag. That's my thoughts.
>Nigel_Richards: ?GLPRTW 4B GaW. +40 386
>Hubert_Wee: DEIOORS N2 DOER +21 366
#note Hubert misses the Z too! the Z would have given him the game likely
>Nigel_Richards: LPRTZ K3 Z.T +28 414
>Hubert_Wee: IOS M1 IOS +16 382
>Hubert_Wee: (LPR) +10 392
