>Joshua_Sokol: ABEHIQT H7 QI +22 22
>Max_Panitch: LRV 8G V.RL +7 7
>Joshua_Sokol: ABBEHST K4 BATHS +28 50
#note felt like he was strong here, either an S or a blank. Otherwise I would have played B(L)AB. BABES would have worked out better, but BATHS looked a bit better on equity. I should have played BLAB.
>Max_Panitch: ?AAELMN L1 LAMiNAE +83 90
#note I wasn't stopping him so best to keep a better leave.
>Joshua_Sokol: BEIJNTU M2 TUBE +31 81
#note I did not see nor remember JUBILE. Not starting off well at all... Also, this was scored as 29.
>Max_Panitch: K 5J K... +8 98
>Joshua_Sokol: ACIJNSY M7 YIN +24 105
#note hoping that if he did hit his bingo, it would fit at N8 only and I could hook it with a huge J----S play.
>Max_Panitch: ADELNOT N8 TALONED +74 172
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEEGJS O4 CAGES +42 147
#note did not hit my J play, but I'm not in horrible shape here. Between JAGS and this I liked retaining the element of surprise; scoring tiles, to maintain the pressure. Hopefully I could use my J for points next turn at M11 or somewhere else.
>Max_Panitch: DDOOS O11 DODOS +36 208
>Joshua_Sokol: AACEJOP 1H JACA. +42 189
>Max_Panitch: EIVW 13J VIEW.. +26 234
>Joshua_Sokol: EFIOOPU 2F FOO +23 212
#note OK, now back to quite the rough position. Perhaps I can make something happen though...
>Max_Panitch: IIIII -IIIII +0 234
>Joshua_Sokol: EIPRTTU 1A PUTTIE +32 244
#note I can!!! But instead I choose to chicken out of yet another bingo: PUTTIER. I didn't think PURTIEST had an anagram or I would know about it. It's good... Also 3G PTUI is better than this.
>Max_Panitch: EYZ 3G YEZ +48 282
#note yup
>Joshua_Sokol: EFLNRRU B1 .NFURL +22 266
#note at least UNFURLER* wasn't good.
>Max_Panitch: IOR M11 RO. +13 295
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEEPRW A6 EEW +20 286
#note his last play scared me. It seemed likely that he either had a rack like TORIN or a rack like IRON?. I did not want to save his rack, and figured if he was unable to score once again, I could pull ahead. I should probably have played AWEE anyway.
>Max_Panitch: ADIMORU A1 .OI +12 307
>Joshua_Sokol: AEHPRRS C6 SHARPER +70 356
>Max_Panitch: ERX N1 REX +38 345
>Joshua_Sokol: DIIIMOU 12B I.IDIUM +26 382
#note well, if he has it he has it. Nothing I could really do about the looming threat but hope that he couldn't deliver. I'm not ahead enough to win with a more defensive play, if indeed there even is one.
>Max_Panitch: AEGGINT H10 GA.ING +30 375
#note wow.
Well, this is how the tournament went for me. Break after break after break, so this should not come as a surprise.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?NO L12 m.NO +14 396
#note I hate myself for talking myself out of SHARPERS, which I was quite confident was valid. At least I still went over 2000 spread. Also ONs plays with IRIDIUMS for 17... Yay me
>Joshua_Sokol: (TE) +4 400
#note I had 400, but officially I did not. I think that's fair.
And that, folks, is how you don't go 20-0.
