#player2 Joey Joey
>Jason: BEFHISW 8G WEB +16 16
#note Context: I have a 40 point spread over Joey going into this final game. I can lose this game by 19 points and still win the tournament. The entire game is played under that assumption. FIB looks better here - normally you'd want to rid yourself of the W as fast a possible but WHES leave has some synergy.
>Joey: ATT 7F TAT +12 12
>Jason: CFHINRS 6E FIN +18 34
>Joey: ?AEINOT J2 ATONIEs +68 80
>Jason: ACHPRSX 4I C.AX +26 60
>Joey: EEMZ 5B MEZE +40 120
>Jason: AHJPRSU C2 JUP. +26 86
#note Don't like the state this board is heading towards but this is pretty much forced.
>Joey: ES D3 SE. +34 154
#note Smart play.
>Jason: ADHIORS I8 .ROADISH +66 152
#note But unfortunately for Joey, as is usually the case whenever we play, I hit something in an unlikely spot.
>Joey: ABDGOOP 15D POOBA. +48 202
#note Nice find.
>Jason: ?DELOQS 6I Q. +11 163
>Joey: DGUY 11H G.UDY +20 222
>Jason: ?DELMOS 13H M.DSOLEs +70 233
#note I spend a while here looking for a better alternative. EMuLSO(I)D was what I needed to find.
>Joey: GIIKLUV O8 VIGIL. +30 252
>Jason: AELRUWY 14C RULY +34 267
#note WAULE(D)12D. Didn't spot the G(E)M spot until later in the game.
>Joey: EKOT B12 KETO +32 284
>Jason: AEGORSW 5G GO +11 278
#note This is the critical position. There are no good ways to shed my W and score a lot. 3L WOS scores 28 but it's easy for Joey to score just as much next turn from the W; and I lose my case S. This move on the other hand creates a difficult position for Joey. Blocking this setup won't score much and will often give me back a decent scoring play. Quackle likes this play a lot - even without taking into account my 19 point cushion.
>Joey: AFU L1 FAU. +18 302
>Jason: ADENRSW 9A WARDENS +73 351
#note From here on out the rest of the game is straightforward.
>Joey: EH J10 H.E. +32 334
>Jason: AACIINO 8A ANOA +38 389
>Joey: EI M13 .EI +3 337
>Jason: CEIINNV 15L V.CE +39 428

>Joey: EILRRTT -- -61 337
>Jason: IINNR 1L .IRN +21 449
#note There's a better sequence, but I obviously didn't spend time looking for it.
>Joey: EILRRTT 12B .ILTER +20 357
>Jason: IN 11E IN +10 459
#note 12B (K)ININ was best.
>Jason: (RT) +4 463
