#player1 Risa_Horowitz Risa Horowitz
#player2 Matthew_Larocque Matthew Larocque
>Risa_Horowitz: BUY 8G BUY +16 16
#note I don't know why but everytime I play Risa it's a tight nervous game or memorable in some way!
>Matthew_Larocque: CEEGGIU G8 .UGGIE +12 12
#note I had a feeling this was garbage but it helped my rack so well! GIGUE scores 15 with the same letters.
>Risa_Horowitz: VVWW -VVWW +0 16
>Matthew_Larocque: AACENNR 14B CANNER +31 43
#note A little dangerous but I kinda have to take the points, not much else here.
>Risa_Horowitz: AEJ D12 JA.E +24 40
>Matthew_Larocque: AEILNTU 9I ALUNITE +65 108
#note I thought the other placement would be more likely to produce 3x3s, but I guess it's a matter of pick your poison here.
>Risa_Horowitz: EISV A12 VISE +42 82
#note Wasn't a bingo, anyways.
>Matthew_Larocque: AADEHKN 8K NAKED +55 163
#note I took several minutes on this play, seeing KH(E)DA right away but not satisfied with it. Extremely glad I found this and the extra time really paid off.
>Risa_Horowitz: IMNOOSX O2 MONOXI..S +70 152
#note Wow that came out of nowhere. It's funny because of how utterly unlikely it was for me to put a D there the way I did. Still, I have to play NAKED last turn.
>Matthew_Larocque: ABHIORS N1 HOB +28 191
#note OBI in this spot sets me up for big points with an HA_ play, but of course that could backfire all the same.
>Risa_Horowitz: IMNT 10I MINT +26 178
>Matthew_Larocque: AAILRST N5 LA +17 208
#note I suppose TAIL/RAIL M2 actually set up bingos, but come on she's going to play there every time.
>Risa_Horowitz: DF C13 F.D +27 205
>Matthew_Larocque: AEIORST M1 ETA +26 234
#note ORA in the same spot? I don't know what I was thinking.
>Risa_Horowitz: AY L1 YA +28 233
#note Then that doesn't happen either.
>Matthew_Larocque: IORRRSW E11 WOR. +29 263
>Risa_Horowitz: ELR 6K REL.. +12 245
>Matthew_Larocque: EEIORRS 5K OR +10 273
#note Man I was dying on the inside when I made this play. Maybe just RO(E) for 6 points? I could potentially bingo if she opens though, these are always agonizing situations.
>Risa_Horowitz: AA F10 AA +16 261
>Matthew_Larocque: EEGIPRS 11J PSI +27 300
#note Time to get on the scoreboard. However, 4K GI nails the coffin on the board for good. Yeah GI is winning about 70% while PSI is down at 63%.
>Risa_Horowitz: O L4 O.. +6 267
#note This totally baffled me.
>Matthew_Larocque: DEEGPRV H11 ED +18 318
#note J3 VEG, but I'd rather score and not remotely open the board.
>Risa_Horowitz: H H11 ..H +12 279
>Matthew_Larocque: ?EGOPRV J3 VOG +11 329
#note Hm, blank draw. VOG is way better than the previous VEG because she's not going to land an 8 ending in O.
>Risa_Horowitz: CO 4H CO. +8 287
>Matthew_Larocque: ?EIPRSU 12L SUPE +24 353
#note Tempting to play something like PRICE keeping ? + S, but I don't need a bingo to win here, and I probably wouldn't bingo with the dreadful U anyways. Also SUPER(VISE)!
>Risa_Horowitz: DEIT H1 EDI.T +24 311
>Matthew_Larocque: ?IIRTWZ G1 WIT +18 371
#note Trying my best to botch this game, there's no reason not to play the Z here, but I didn't have time to double check my tracking. I'm setting her up for a huge play!
>Risa_Horowitz: ?EFLQRT M11 s.Q +27 338
>Matthew_Larocque: ?IRZ 5F ZI. +12 383
#note Again I don't have time to actually see what she can do.
>Risa_Horowitz: EFLRT F1 EF +34 372
#note Cringe
>Matthew_Larocque: ?R M11 ...s +11 394
#note More cringing, the blank is the worst letter to have when you are out of time, because you have to write down what it is, and you can't do that with 5 seconds left! Honestly I should just go overtime and find one of the 3 million outplays, but it's hard to be smart sometimes!
>Risa_Horowitz: LRT 1E R...T +8 380
>Matthew_Larocque: R O12 .R +2 396
>Matthew_Larocque: (L) +2 398
#note Brutal finish, and I lost 10 points to win by 9. But it was memorable at least!
