>Tim_Weiss: ADHLORS H4 HOLARDS +80 80
>JD: AHIIKPU G7 KUIA +33 33
#note it had been a very long day. I was tired for this matchup and played my first 10 or so moves very quickly.
>Tim_Weiss: ATV F10 VAT +28 108
>JD: HINPRTU E11 HUP +28 61
#note blah, did not think of UVAS for 2 more points.
>Tim_Weiss: AEEENRT 6H .ATEENER +62 170
>JD: EFINORT I5 O.F +26 87
#note not exactly the highlight of my scrabble carrier! I was pretty tired and played too fast and missed FRONTIER. wow.
>Tim_Weiss: ?ACEIMN O4 CA.MINEs +92 262
#note lucky he didn't triple-triple. MUTAGENIC is available!
>JD: AEIINRT K4 IN.RTIAE +82 169
>Tim_Weiss: OZ J10 ZO +64 326
>JD: AEIRTUY N8 AUREITY +83 252
#note sweet, he didn't block my bingo.
>Tim_Weiss: AABBELT 14G BEATABL. +67 393
>Tim_Weiss: AABBELT -- -67 326
#note tim knew that BATABLE was good and was hoping I might give him a spot if this turned out to not be good.
>JD: EIILQRT M12 QI +37 289
>Tim_Weiss: AABBELT D11 AB +24 350
>JD: EGILORT 4A REGOLIT. +76 365
#note wow, from 175 down to leading in 4 turns.
>Tim_Weiss: ABELPTY B1 TYP.ABLE +92 442
>JD: EELORSV A8 RESOLVE +89 454
#note the moment of truth. RESOLVE for 89, or sacrifice 18 points to not open the massive hook? I felt that it was going to be very hard to win after the row 14 placement - I don't even catch up, and he gets a huge free play on column A without a lot of counterplay for me thereafter.
>Tim_Weiss: ?CNNNSW 15A SNoW +63 505
#note the pool was very constricted on vowels, and it turned out he had to cash his blank on this turn to cover the hot spot. I still have a shot.
>JD: DFIOOUX L1 FOUD +30 484
#note I spent about 15 minutes on this play after he blocked DOUX. I strongly consider exchanging to try and draw for the S and a potential 3x3 that might be hard to block. In the end I took the most obvious play and decided to bank on an error.
>Tim_Weiss: GMN 2K M.NG +14 519
#note very encouraging for me - he's still short on vowels.
>JD: EIIJOWX 5D XI +31 515
#note quackle claims that I have a 25% chance of winning, but technically tim wins all endgames after this play - still, not all of them involve easy sequences.
>Tim_Weiss: CDEGNOS 14K CON. +21 540
#note he has the game well in hand - any reasonable sequence will win.
>JD: DEIJOW I11 JOWED +30 545
>Tim_Weiss: DEGS E3 G..DES +8 548
#note good find under time pressure!
>Tim_Weiss: (I) +2 550
