#player2 Tasha_Asberry Tasha Asberry
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AEIRTY H6 IRATElY +76 76
#note I was excited to play Tasha for the first time. Until I luckboxed her
>Tasha_Asberry: OX G12 OX +22 22
>Joshua_Sokol: AKLMOOR G6 MOLAR +23 99
#note I really liked this play that I made. She seemed to have kept a decent rack leave, so I decided to block as much as I could and retain the O for OXO and the K for scoring next turn. Overthinking? Don't think so this time.
>Tasha_Asberry: HI F9 HI +18 40
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEKNOT 14F TOKENED +76 175
#note This was probably the most ridiculous draw I got all tournament. My chances of hitting a bingo after MOLAR were at most 2%. And yet, here I was.
>Tasha_Asberry: GRTTU K10 GUTT.R +14 54
>Joshua_Sokol: BDILOUW E10 WUD +21 196
#note Justice would be sweet if she drew ADEINOS next turn and scored 166. Just closing as much as I can here, and now I have deja vu for some reason.
>Tasha_Asberry: AMW I6 MAW +26 80
>Joshua_Sokol: BEFILOS 15H IF +38 234
#note great job by Tasha of making the game winnable. She just blocked FOIBLES! Was close between playing 15H IF and 15A FOIBLE here. I liked playing short, not opening the left side whatsoever and hoping she would open and give me a bingo.
>Tasha_Asberry: CELOZ J2 CLOZE +34 114
#note I mean, nothing really mattered, the game was basically won
>Joshua_Sokol: ABELOST K4 EAST +41 275
#note There was just one problem. I always see COSTABLE in ABCELOST instead of the real word. Time to hit the books and remove all those ABCELOSST in the way of achieving GM status.
>Tasha_Asberry: ABDEIRS 2H AS.RIBED +76 190
#note it was at this point that I realized Richard Spence had just tried OUTTIME* against Cheryl Tyler, the same phony I lost my turn to a few games ago! Tasha still has RAI(L)BEDS available here for 83. Better than AS(C)RIBED despite the merits of opening a 3x3.
>Joshua_Sokol: BLOOUVY 1D LOOBY +48 323
>Tasha_Asberry: AF 1N FA +29 219
>Joshua_Sokol: AEERSUV 15C UVEA +13 336
#note I start playing very scared here, worrying about ___QUE words that get Tasha back into the game and reopen the left side. Just play (R)EVUE 15K
>Tasha_Asberry: EINP L9 PINE +21 240
>Joshua_Sokol: EEIPRSU 8L SPUE +29 365
#note D12 ERU(V) is also an option. I liked this, since it began constricting the right of the board while scoring.
>Tasha_Asberry: ?CNOQRS L1 Q. +21 261
>Joshua_Sokol: EGHIORR 15K .EORG +25 390
#note 3M OH wins the sim. This wins the best move contest. Unless (R)ERIG is better. Who knows.
>Tasha_Asberry: ?CELNOT O6 EL.CTrON +60 321
#note thought she would make the blank an I! Tasha missed a sick 9 and an even sicker 10 that Dave Wiegand's wife would have seen instantaneously, but that everyone else would probably miss.
>Joshua_Sokol: EGHINRV 2E EH +28 418
#note 11J H(UN). Was not thinking about fishing. Otherwise M10 NIGH
>Tasha_Asberry: AAIJNNS 13M JI. +20 341
>Joshua_Sokol: AGINNRV M2 .RING +16 434
#note Looked really difficult for her to block my outs and probably wouldn't be worth it anyway, preventing her from going out in two by blocking my spots.
>Tasha_Asberry: ADIINS D12 AI +10 351
#note Hilariously, the only play that blocks my outs is the same word I was about to play. I honestly thought she would miss NAV, not the other way around.
>Joshua_Sokol: ANV 14A VAN +14 448
>Joshua_Sokol: (DINS) +10 458
