>Bryan_Richgruber: AANTUV 8C AVAUNT +26 26
#note Ryan lives near where I grew up in Brooklyn! Goodness this world is small.
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEFKOY 7A YOK +26 26
#note Took forever here to make this play. I had a lot of playfinding and focus issues this tournament. I had hay fever on the first night from waking up at 5 in the morning. I seem to get allergies when my immune system isn't up and running because I've been up for 14 hours.
I missed F(A)KEY and C(A)KEY even, and couldn't decide between this and FOY. FAKEY for sure
>Bryan_Richgruber: DEIORVW G2 OVERWI.D +72 98
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEFFMR A7 .AFFER +48 74
#note Does anyone remember the opening position I had against Seth in our last game besides the two people involved? AEFFRUY it was. And I played YAFFER* and he challenged. Nice job remembering that, Josh. And people claim I have very good retention. Hah.
I guess Bryan doesn't look at weak players' annotated games on cross-tables. Good for him. He did start shaking his head in disbelief after he didn't hold this.
>Bryan_Richgruber: HOO F4 HOO +22 120
#note missing 6B, lucky for me. Maybe YAFFER* really got to him, or perhaps he wanted to block the board up a lot, which this did do!
>Joshua_Sokol: ABCGMTU 10A .ACTUM +21 95
#note Was sort of at a loss here. I could play GUMBO somewhere, but a) I was unsure of the word and b) this board isn't going to lift her skirt and allow me to get in there and have a peek. Gary Johnson 2016!
>Bryan_Richgruber: DIRT 4C DIT..R +22 142
#note If you don't get the perverted reference I just made I invite you to watch John Oliver's take on 3rd party candidates for the 2016 election. What an American hero he is. Two-party systems are the greatest
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ABGGLQ E8 .Q.A +26 121
#note Sim likes exchanging slightly. I'll go with this. I knew it was also close with 3A BLAG, but getting stuck with QG next turn was going to suck if I didn't draw an I. Hmm. Maybe I go with it anyway. Saw I could draw into a few things with this though
>Bryan_Richgruber: GOX 3B GOX +37 179
>Joshua_Sokol: ?BEGGLS 2F B.GGLErS +69 190
#note I thought this might be phony, but I played it anyway, cause what if I could get away with a BOGGLE word against a Scrabble player? It's good though. Bryan held for a bit.
>Bryan_Richgruber: EPY 12D YEP +30 209
>Joshua_Sokol: ACIILNW B1 WI. +14 204
#note Back to a pretty crappy situation here. Best play is probably M2 (S)IALIC. Missed it. Hoped to catch him on the A1 spot next turn if he couldn't or hit something elsewhere.
>Bryan_Richgruber: ?EENORU J1 a.EURONE +59 268
>Joshua_Sokol: ACILNOZ B5 AZ. +32 236
#note nowhere for CALZONI! Keeping the O and sacrificing 6 points over 1M AZO makes sense here, to preserve more lanes.
>Bryan_Richgruber: NT 2A N.T +7 275
>Joshua_Sokol: CEILNOO 1A O. +21 257
>Bryan_Richgruber: ETU 1M UTE +11 286
>Joshua_Sokol: CEILNOS H8 .ELSONIC +86 343
#note nice draw me
>Bryan_Richgruber: DEELRSS K7 ELDRESS +70 356
>Joshua_Sokol: ABEIIJT J13 AJI +28 371
#note Really lucky to avoid drawing more than 2 I's here. Bryan had none of them! I need to avoid them again here though.
>Bryan_Richgruber: DHI L13 HID +15 371
>Joshua_Sokol: ABEEINT L1 B.INE +27 398
#note Had enough time to analyze this pre-endgame. Seems like this or B(r)AIN instead have similar end results, and both of them seem to win.
>Bryan_Richgruber: AILMNPR 15L .RIP +21 392
#note DAMP
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIT 10K .ETIA +7 405
#note IRATE. Not sure how I managed to miss that. Still, took the win.
>Joshua_Sokol: (ALMN) +12 417
