#player1 Jeffrey_N Jeffrey N
#player2 BJ BJ
>Jeffrey_N: UUUU -UUUU +0 0
#note Round 3 of the Catamount Cup (unrated Vermont Club Championship) in Norwich, Vermont.
>BJ: CDGLOTX 8G GOX +22 22
#note Can't really keep a vowel here, but Q likes this play too, followed closely by CLOG.
>Jeffrey_N: DEEEIRR G8 .REEDIER +62 62
>BJ: ACDLLTT 14F C.LL +12 34
#note Quackle likes about a million plays better, such as 14B CATTLE. Guess I shouldn't have worried about blocking, but I thought my play was decent.
>Jeffrey_N: EJ 10F J.E +26 88
>BJ: ADEEOTT E8 TOAD +21 55
#note I6 TAXED is best. I should've kept the D also, but TOAD isn't bad.
>Jeffrey_N: ??EFIMR 12G .EIFoRMs +76 164
#note Interestingly, J10 FERMI sims best, with a two-blank leave. I held DEIFORMS but without spending too much time thinking about it, I assumed he had other plays as well and so a challenge wasn't worth the risk.
>BJ: EEMOQRT I11 Q. +11 66
#note Bummer. Best play, though.
>Jeffrey_N: AEGINPT 7H PEATING +76 240
#note I didn't like PEATING at all, but since (a) I saw he had TAPERING and (b) I thought I could play MOTELIER* through the I, I left it.
>BJ: EELMORT L2 MOTEL.ER +72 138
#note Was hoping for an E for TELOMERE, but I had also been ready for MOTELIER* even though I had a strong suspicion it was Collins-only (it is). Jeffrey did not hesitate to accept, though, so I figured it must be TWL, until checking it after the game. Phonies abound!
>Jeffrey_N: ENVY 12B ENVY +29 269
>BJ: AFIKPRW 6G PARK +51 189
#note Dang, forgot about WARK.
>Jeffrey_N: DEOTV K1 VOTED +32 301
>BJ: ABFIIUW M2 AW +27 216
#note This began my run of drek. M3 WAB is best, and I saw it, but couldn't remember if DEB was valid in TWL. It is.
>Jeffrey_N: HNU 1M HUN +27 328
>BJ: BFIISUY N10 FU.SY +36 252
#note Ooh, J10 BIFFS for 41 would've been nice. I had been looking there, but missed that play.
>Jeffrey_N: DN K11 D.N +6 334
>BJ: BCEIIIU 8A CUBI. +30 282
#note Such a horrible leave, but had to take the equity and hope for the best. Quackle agrees, followed by several exchanging options.
>Jeffrey_N: BO M12 .OB +25 359
>BJ: AEIITUZ C10 ZI.E +26 308
#note Quackle likes a vowel dump a litte bit better (such as C11 UNAI). I focused on playing off the Z too much and didn't consider vowel dumps.
>Jeffrey_N: IL G4 LI. +5 364
#note I couldn't understand why Jeffrey would open this up with so many S's remaining. He said later he was fishing for 1D STOTINO(V), which he was close to. I think in a rated tournament he would have probably played differently. :)
>BJ: AAIISTU 15G .IA +17 325
#note As soon as I played RIA I realized I should probably have played RAIA. Quackle agrees.
>Jeffrey_N: HS 2J H...S +40 404
>BJ: AAINSTU B12 .AU +8 333
#note Hmm I thought keeping AINTS was a smart leave here, but Champ prefers many other things, starting with O8 TIAN. Really??? I guess the assumption is the lanes will be blocked, but the second best is A6 UNCIA for 7. Not making much sense to me.
>Jeffrey_N: OOW 4D WOO. +14 418
>BJ: AAINOST 14L A.. +8 341
>Jeffrey_N: EGIN 5B GIEN +19 437
>BJ: AINORST 3B TRAINS +32 373
#note Jeffrey forgot to consider my options in row 3, and I thought for a second I could play RATIONS there, but not quite. It wouldn't have won the game anyway.
>Jeffrey_N: AST 15K TAS +15 452
>Jeffrey_N: (O) +2 454
