#title 2017 NSC Round 26
#description Charles Reinke plays Will Anderson in Round 26 at the 2017 NSC
>Charles: DHHJRTT -JDHHT +0 0
#note C: First time being livestreamed; I spent most of my time setting up candidate plays on my rack so that people would know what I was thinking about. But it was all a farce, because I wasn't thinking about my plays, I was thinking about whether I should be setting up candidate plays on my rack so that people would know what I was thinking about.
>Will: DIIOSTX 8F OXID +24 24
#note W: I could be swayed that I should do DIXIT instead.
>Charles: EOPRSTU J2 POSTURE +80 80
#note C: I took too long on this turn, evaluating all the options. It's more important to save time for the endgame, especially because I really don't want to screw up an endgame while being livestreamed.
>Will: AEINSTT K8 SATINET +78 102
>Charles: CEEIKRW 4D WICKER. +34 114
#note C: 13I KR(E)WE sims better; the CEI leave goes well with the open letters on the board I guess. There is video evidence that I considered KREWE.
>Will: AEGGIIN 7D GIGA +20 122
#note W: Tough call here - this is a decent board for -ING with all the floaters, but not so good that I felt like keeping it was a must, since it's only good for 8s, not 7s. 7G AGER sims well, but GIIN turns sour in a hurry. I almost did 12G AGEING.
>Charles: CEILOTU 8A LOCI +25 139
#note C: 2I U(P)COIL is fine. Sticking the U there isn't that dangerous, and setting up the S hook doesn't matter when SATINET is just sitting there. This blocks the last spot on the board for non-S sevens, not sure I want to do that.
>Will: DEINNRS 15E ENDRINS +82 204
>Charles: EEGRTUW B8 .UTGREW +26 165
#note C: I should be leaving bingo lines open; 6E TEW is better. Not sure I saw that play.
>Will: AEHILNP 13B .LAPHINE +80 284
>Charles: ?AEOOTT 10H TAT.OOEd +61 226
#note C: I saw PATOOTIE but didn't realize it played on row 11. Anyway, I'm down by so much that opening up the triple-triple is fine. I considered 6E OAT but there's no point in holding off on the bingo.
>Will: ?AADHJO O8 HA.J +39 323
>Charles: AABENNS 12A B.AN +24 250
#note C: Maybe it's worth keeping this Z hotspot open. It's very unlikely I'll get the two bingos down that I need to get back into the game.
>Will: ?ADIOOQ 11E QADI +30 353
>Charles: AEEENSY 9E EYE +25 275
#note C: EYE plays for two more at 14D. I could also stick the N on this one for five more.
>Will: ?EFLOOU 5C OOF +27 380
>Charles: AAENRRS A14 AR +11 286
>Will: ?BELMUU N3 UMBElUL. +70 450
#note W: I will admit that it was cool to play this on the live stream!
C: Held for a while, because it looks weirder than UMBELLULE.
>Charles: AEMNRSY O1 MANY +52 338
#note C: Missed ARMY in the same spot. I spent my meager remaining clock time trying to figure out if it was worth doing something like H3 Y(E). I apologize to all livestream viewers who were bored by my meaningless deliberations.
>Will: DEFIOVZ H1 FIV. +30 480
#note W: Blocks his out and saves OOZED, and when that gets blocked, ZED.
>Charles: ELRSV M10 .VERS +16 354
#note C: I can do a little better; 13K (E)LVER.
>Will: DEOZ M1 ZED +34 514
>Charles: L 14A ..L +9 363
>Charles: (O) +2 365
#note C: At least I didn't make any huge blunders. (I classify OUTGREW as a blunder somewhere between "substantial" and "sizable")
