>Peter_Schwartzman: ADENOSY 8B NOYADES +80 80
#note Chicago Literacy Tournament: Game 3: After losing two potentially winnable games against the top two seeds, this was not how I wanted this game to start. As it turned out, Peter would set a record for highest number of points played against me in a tournament game to date. This was his best play and only bingo.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BCMMORV D4 COMM. +28 28
#note Maybe VOCAB keeping MMR Quackle likes COMB at 7A but since I'm behind I want an open board. Q says mine is 3rd best and -2, I'm fine with my play. Peter said people called him that or something like that. A qcursory check of his Facebook confirms why some people thought that LOL!
>Peter_Schwartzman: ?ACEIIS H1 lAICISE. +86 166
#note Best play for Peter! At this point, I knew this game was going to be bad...just how bad!
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?BILRVW 7G W.B +24 52
#note Best play! Although I miscounted this as 26 originally. My opponents great plays and luck are getting to me.
>Peter_Schwartzman: FIL E8 .LIF +14 180
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AILORV C8 .VARIOLe +78 130
#note Best play! Well at least according to Quackle. 4H COrRIVAL for 76 probably wouldhave worked out better. The E in the 3rd position on a 3x3 is very very dangerous. Oh well. He could have had some obscore 8 through COrRIVALl. And I don't think I knew that word anyways,
>Peter_Schwartzman: EEHZ 15A HE.ZE +78 258
#note This was horribly unlucky.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAEEGOS 14A AA. +15 145
#note This was also horribly unlucky. However, this wasn;t a good play and the Nigel-esque find of 6C OMEGAS would have cleaned up my rack a lot. However, after the next play, it would not have mattered one bit. -14.6
>Peter_Schwartzman: AGINPUY 14E YAUPING +72 330
#note Cheez-it cracker voice: "Click, check, click!"
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEFGNOS 15H EF +32 177
#note Best play!
>Peter_Schwartzman: DRX 10B R.D.X +31 361
#note Peter may have had some luck this game, but he also played REALLY REALLY well with finds like this. Hats off to him!
>Jonathan_Lindh: EGNOSUV 1E UNG.OVES +62 239
#note Best play and only bingo! At least I got this bomb in! A 62 point mini bomb, but still. Peter actually held. THis bingo kept the game respectable in the end...not on margin, but on my score.
>Peter_Schwartzman: DILORTU 3F UT.LIDOR +72 433
#note This was another sweet find by Peter and a best play. YOu realy can't do anything about these sorts of games.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BHNOPRT 2L HOB +24 263
#note Yeah...13A BHOOT for 30 is the play. I mentally checked out around here. At least my play sets me up for an O I don't have. -7.6
>Peter_Schwartzman: IJ L1 ...JI +30 463
>Jonathan_Lindh: KNOPRTT O1 PORK +54 317
#note Best play! There's the O I didn't have!
>Peter_Schwartzman: EIORTUW 4L .ER. +18 481
>Jonathan_Lindh: IINNTTU K9 TUNIN. +14 331
#note And I'm rewarded for PORK with the JUNK! It's either this or UNITING/NUTTING at A8. Since Peterwas bound to pick up the last S maybe UNITING at K8. I dunno. -3.2
>Peter_Schwartzman: EE 9E .EE +22 503
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEILOQT K5 QI +44 375
#note Best play!
>Peter_Schwartzman: AGRSTTW 13I GA. +17 520
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEELOTT L10 TOTE +21 396
#note Best play! No point in fishing here, Quackle!
>Peter_Schwartzman: AERSTTW 15K SWART +44 564
#note Peter had an unplayable SWATTER! And I tracked correctly. UNITING would have prevented this I guess, but I don't know how to make these kind of decisions. SWEAT or SWEAR are a little better here for him because they don't give me LANDER to go out and force me to find M6 NALED for 14 to go out. However, I saw both NALED and LANDER so I was going out no matter what.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADELN N10 LANDE. +18 414
#note Best play! This was one of the best played 146 point losses in Scrabble history!
>Jonathan_Lindh: (TE) +4 418
