>Charles_Reinke: CEIIPTT 9C PIT +21 52
#note In the category of "plays Charles has very little chance of seeing": EPIT(HE)TIC. H1 PETITI(ON) is not unreasonable, however.

>Chris_Tallman: NTU B10 .UNT +6 115
#note Chris' body language for the next few turns tells me his fishes aren't hitting.

#note This was underscored by 1.
>Charles_Reinke: AAAEFIO 15N AI +14 311
#note Paranoid about this spot with two blanks unseen. (Self-reassuring "Quackle agrees" comment here)
>Chris_Tallman: IJNOW M9 JOWIN. +50 270
>Charles_Reinke: AADEFOS N9 OF +35 346
#note Still in pretty good shape.
>Chris_Tallman: EIMNZ 13G MIZEN +56 326
#note Aaah!
>Charles_Reinke: AADEOSY 3C AYES +20 366
#note Blocking the last bingo lane and hoping to outrun Chris with my 40-point lead. Quackle is eviscerating me for this and wants me to do O7 DAY.
>Chris_Tallman: ABRV H1 BRAV. +42 368
#note Well, that didn't work.
>Charles_Reinke: ADIOORT N2 DROI. +14 380
#note Continuing my "no bingos for anybody, ever" strategy. Chris has to have a blank by this point.
>Chris_Tallman: AY O8 AY +28 396
>Charles_Reinke: AEMORTX I2 EX +36 416
#note Blocking bingos through the B, of which there are many (assuming Chris now holds both blanks). My 20-point lead is unlikely to hold up, though, with the scoring spot at 4A. We have the score at 416-395, but Quackle thinks Chris has 396.
>Chris_Tallman: ?BEEELR J2 BEj...L +38 434
#note Awesome play by Chris that would win if the score was correct. This must be why Quackle didn't like my play of EX last turn.
>Charles_Reinke: ?AIMORT 12A ...IATOM +37 453
#note From my perspective, this play ties the game.
>Chris_Tallman: EER 4B REE +18 452
>Chris_Tallman: (?R) +2 454
#note Final score: 453-453. We agreed not to recount. Both of us finished even at 15.5-15.5. Overall, I am disappointed with the quality of my play in the tournament and am glad that I didn't finish worse than I did.
