>Prashanth_S: DEIRSTU 8D DUSTIER +70 70
>BJ: AINNUWZ 7I WUZ +30 30
#note A few top choices, this among them. Others: J5 AZURN and J4 WAZIR.
>Prashanth_S: MOOTT 9C MOTTO +21 91
>BJ: AINNRSV 10B VIN +22 52
#note Second best choice after VINA in the same spot. I sure thought keeping the A along with NRS would be better than not. Huh.
>Prashanth_S: AFFN 10G NAFF +21 112
>BJ: ABINRRS 11C BARN +24 76
#note RIZ would've been nice to open up the top of the board some. H10 ARABIN and ARRIBA I don't think I knew. BARN and a few others are similar valuation after that.
>Prashanth_S: EJUV 6F JUVE +36 148
>BJ: AIIIMRS K5 MI. +28 104
#note MIZ is the clear winner. Hope I don't draw more I's.
>Prashanth_S: EEG 11H GEE +17 165
>BJ: AEIIIRS -AII +0 104
#note 12H AESIR for 29 points comes up tops. Only faintly remember the word, but would've played that despite the II leave had I seen it and known it. My exchange is Quackle's second choice.
>Prashanth_S: CEES 12G CEES +24 189
#note Underscored this by 1.
>BJ: BEHILRS 12A LIBS +36 140
#note Damn, should have seen BISH at 12A for 50, all words I know well. I've been making bishes the entire tournament in fact! But anyway. Instead I play a phony (MIBB*) and use up my S, my first biggish mistake of the game. At least I got away with the phony. I always have trouble remembering whether MIGG or MIBB* is valid. Maybe this well help me finally get over that.
>Prashanth_S: ELT 13H ELT +24 213
#note Prashanth is milking that block of letters for all they're worth!
>BJ: EHKNRRX 11H ...K +18 158
#note I'm kind of at a loss here. Quackle prefers B12 IRK. After that it's a toss-up.
>Prashanth_S: ADGN A11 G.AND +21 234
#note Darn I was hoping to play LANX in this spot. Now I have no good options.
>BJ: AEHNRRX L3 AXE +24 182
#note I kept telling myself that FESTA was valid but was never sure enough to play anything. 14J AX doesn't sim that well here anyway. L3 RAN and L1 RERAN sim best, then lots of other stuff in that area. AXE is a little ways down. I didn't like it at all.
>Prashanth_S: AHSTY 2J HASTY +49 283
#note Nope, shouldn't have played AXE.
>BJ: ?GHNQRR -GNQR +0 182
#note A bunch of exchanges sim similarly. Exch. QRR seems to be slightly preferred, with a GHN leave. I kept the H thinking it might score a few points in square M3.
>Prashanth_S: ?AADELN 1E ADrENAL +78 361
#note Many choices for Prashanth here.
>BJ: ?EHIORR 2B HOaRIER +82 264
#note A bunch of choices for me too, but I'm still way behind. L8 HORSIER was probably best.
>Prashanth_S: COO 1A COO +22 383
>BJ: ALOPPTW 3A WOP +32 296
#note Best, FWIW.
>Prashanth_S: GIR M2 .RIG +29 412
>BJ: AILOPTU 1N OU +11 307
#note If I was going to play OU, it should have been at 7E.
>Prashanth_S: AEINR A3 .ANIER +30 442
>BJ: ADIILPT 14A .IL +6 313
#note I can Q-stick him, so I play off my I in a safe place. Didn't have much clock time so I didn't get to think this through more thoroughly, probably could have milked it more.
>Prashanth_S: EOY L10 OYE +25 467
#note Oops I forgot about the Y hook here.
>BJ: ADIPT 6A .D +7 320
#note No need to play my tiles all at once, he can't go out. I don't see 3G PADI for 28, though.
>Prashanth_S: Q - +0 467
>BJ: AIPT N5 APT +18 338
>Prashanth_S: Q - +0 467
>BJ: I 6N .I +4 342
>BJ: (Q) +20 362
#note Prashanth played through this crowded board well, and I did not. Nice game Prashanth!
