>Nigel_Richards: EEERSTZ 13I .EEZE +42 126
>David_Eldar: AAAGNTY L11 GA.Y +34 143
#note YATAGAN gets blocked!
>Nigel_Richards: ??RSTUW K2 TU.WoRkS +68 194

>Nigel_Richards: AABGLLT J3 G.AL +18 212
>David_Eldar: ACEINRT 8A TRANCIE.. +86 243
#note Just the break Deldar needed.
>Nigel_Richards: ABEILTX 14H T.X +51 263
#note Since both Z and J have been played, C7 T(A)XABLE for 50 might be worth considering.
>David_Eldar: ILNNSTU C3 INSUL.NT +70 313
#note Deldar put C2 UNINSTAL down first, then picked it up and chose this instead.
>Nigel_Richards: ABDEILM 15C DIMBLE +42 305
#note In the post-mortem, Nigel pointed to this play and said to Deldar, "I didn't think you'd go for DIMABLE with one M."
>David_Eldar: EEORSVV 11L .OV +7 320
#note Q didn't have D's choice listed, but when I manually input it and ran a sim, it jumped to second behind 11E EVOV(AE)
>Nigel_Richards: AACEEFI A4 FACE.IAE +67 372
#note Nigel catches up, but little does he know what's coming next - MWAHAHA!
>David_Eldar: EEGRRSV F6 GR.EVERS +74 394
#note O5 VERGERS for 91, but D said he wasn't 100%
>Nigel_Richards: DINNORW D1 WINO +28 400
#note B10 INDOW is slightly favored

#note Q makes Deldar a 59-41 favorite after this play
>Nigel_Richards: DDEKNPR 11D DR.K +18 418
#note When I saw this one-vowel rack, I knew Deldar was going to win, and it was hard to keep a neutral face, but inside I was going WOO-HOO!
Q's top choices of 2F DREK or B10 PENK don't leave Nigel an out.
>David_Eldar: EIIMOOY 2F MOY +34 470
>Nigel_Richards: DENP B10 PEND +26 444
#note Nigel first placed PEND at L15, making GAZYP, and I thought, "WHAAAT??!," but then he picked it up and accepted defeat. GG
