#note Last game of the NSC!
>Rafi_Stern: AILPW 9F PILAW +24 24
>Richard_Spence: EEGIIMN 10E MIG +20 34
>Rafi_Stern: EEORTTU -EETTU +0 24
>Richard_Spence: ?CEEEIN 11D CEE +23 57
#note This is an ugly board so far...
>Rafi_Stern: ELZ 10I LEZ +26 50
>Richard_Spence: ?AEFINY 11I YEA +49 106
#note I considered NAY, which would've given the board some odd symmetry. But YEA is far superior.
>Rafi_Stern: EIIJNRT -IINR +0 50
>Richard_Spence: ?DFIINU 12F DIF +18 124
>Rafi_Stern: ?AEGNTU 13H AUGmENT +71 121

>Rafi_Stern: KOOR D11 .ROOK +32 153
>Richard_Spence: ?AILSUV J13 .UV +9 163
#note I played too quickly. VIsUALS.
>Rafi_Stern: EIRTU 15J .IRTUE +30 183
>Richard_Spence: ?AILNST O7 cATLINS +79 242
#note Made a big mistake last turn, but it doesn't matter much now. I play cATLINS specifically to keep the board shut.
>Rafi_Stern: AHR 15A HAR. +33 216
>Richard_Spence: AEFGNRX 14A EF +25 267
>Rafi_Stern: IJOV H4 JOVI.. +24 240
#note Interesting...
>Richard_Spence: AEGNRSX 4H .AGER +26 293
#note I considered VEX, but still wanted to keep the board as shut as possible.
>Rafi_Stern: HU J2 HU. +15 255
>Richard_Spence: DELNOSX 5H .XEN +43 336
#note Didn't see SNO(O)LED. But clearly, he's setting up THUG, so any decent play that forms HUGE wins.
>Rafi_Stern: BERT 3I T.BER +34 289
>Richard_Spence: DDEILOS 6K DIED +17 353
>Rafi_Stern: AQ N11 QA. +25 314
>Richard_Spence: ILNOORS 12L RO.. +14 367
>Rafi_Stern: OT 12B TO. +3 317
#note Rafi tells me this probably wasn't the best play, since column B is easily blocked. Setting up a possible STOTINOV would be amazing.
>Richard_Spence: CILNOSY B10 CO. +11 378
#note I debate (O)Y, finishing for COLONIS(T), but decided not to.
>Rafi_Stern: ADIMNOS 13C M. +16 333
>Richard_Spence: DILNSSY E13 DIS +24 402
>Rafi_Stern: AEINOST 6F NE.I +20 353
#note Yep, STOTINOV would've won.
