>Alastair_Richards: EEGNOX 8C EXOGEN +44 44
>JD: EEHLNRU 9C HUN +30 30
#note or HUE, sim is very close
>Alastair_Richards: ANVY 9G NAVY +20 64
>JD: EEEHLRS J6 HER.E +21 51
#note a clever and annoying play by alastair to block most potential bingos, except that I actually missed my second bingo of the tournament - SHEERLEG# to the G, which I've never seen before.
>Alastair_Richards: KUY 7E YUK +36 100
>JD: AELRSTT 11D RATTLES +76 127
>Alastair_Richards: ACLORSU K1 OSCULAR +75 175
>JD: AABDSTV H11 .ABDA +27 154
#note this play was not an easy find - TAVA at L6 isn't bad either, but with a deficit having more lanes should be good.
>Alastair_Richards: CDEIILN 1H IND.CILE +176 351
#note noooo. I had a read on him having a huge play, because he was frowning a bit while staring at his tiles during my move. sigh. nothing to be done
>JD: MNSTTUV 7A VUM +22 176
>Alastair_Richards: DEIIZ A7 .IZIED +63 414
>JD: JNNRSTT 4J J.N +20 196
#note this could be an exchange, but the pool is really, really heavy on vowels at this poit.
>Alastair_Richards: AGOPRST 14A POSTGRA. +78 492
#note youch, I am not used to losing by 296
>JD: ?NORSTT 15H .RNOTToS +74 270
>Alastair_Richards: IIW 15A IWI +37 529
>JD: AEEFILO B10 FAE +32 302
>Alastair_Richards: ?BEEGOW O8 BOGWEEd. +92 621
>Alastair_Richards: ?BEEGOW -- -92 529
#note I must say that I was rather surprised when this came off the board - I was resigned to losing by 324
>JD: AAEEILO 14L EALE +16 318
#note maybe blocking is the wrong idea, seeing that my tiles are not bad - I could use the extra turn to fish with CIAO, or even just exchange. but I thought the leftover stuff in the bag was pretty poor. probably I should fish for a turn and then block.
>Alastair_Richards: ?BEEGOW 13J BEGO +24 553
#note this play also blocks QIN, which is smart. he has the blank so if he does the pick Q he'll be able to play it off more flexibly.
>JD: ADIOOPT 2F PATOI. +25 343
#note COOP takes out some more bingos he could've drawn and saves QAT on the left, although he can probably find a way to block. my play just gives alastair more potent bingos
>Alastair_Richards: ?EIOQRW N1 .IQuOR +32 585
#note oh man, alastair missed QWERTIES#!
>JD: DFIMO 3C FIDO +20 363
#note FERMI is one better because it blocks WENA#/YUKE#
