#note This was my turn at the feature table. In the future, I would love for folks to ask us about the game afterwards and post commentary, especially since this game had a lot of fireworks and crazy situations.
Lots of exchanges are close here. I was averse to holding the L, and maybe I should have gotten rid of the other I as well...
>Dave_Wiegand: ACEINOS 8C ACINOSE +74 74
>Jason_Keller: GILRSTT I3 GLITT.RS +63 63
#note Or TRIGLOTS.
>Dave_Wiegand: EFGJORU 7G JU. +37 111
>Jason_Keller: AEOTUVV 4G VU.VAE +26 89
#note This is not looking good so far...
>Dave_Wiegand: EEFGHOR 9E FEG +29 140
>Jason_Keller: AEIORST L4 .TAERIOS +59 148
#note Looking a little better.
>Dave_Wiegand: EEHNORR J10 HOER +28 168
>Jason_Keller: ?EINNPT M7 TENPINs +84 232
#note I had to look a second time, but yes, the overlaps worked.
>Dave_Wiegand: ADEENNR N9 NE +14 182
>Jason_Keller: BDLMOSZ O5 BOLDS +28 260
#note I thought through. I saw DZOS and thought that I might be in a bit of trouble if I didn't draw a vowel. I thought that playing off BOLDS gave me a great chance to draw a big Z play next turn.
>Dave_Wiegand: AADEENR N2 AREAD +31 213
>Jason_Keller: MMPTTXZ F8 ..XT +27 287
#note Frustrating draw. I thought about ZAX here as well, but like that this messes with the lower part of the board. This is best, and again, just one vowel gives me a nice Z play out of this.
>Dave_Wiegand: EEINWWY O1 WYE +34 247
>Jason_Keller: ?KMMPTZ -MMKP +0 287
#note The blank is nice, but I would have liked a vowel with it. Considered ZAP at C7 and MM at K7, but I now feel like I can get the play I need sooner with an exchange.
>Dave_Wiegand: AEINOOW M1 OWE +27 274
>Jason_Keller: ?IITUYZ 7A TIZ +43 330
>Dave_Wiegand: AGHINNO A4 GNA.HION +92 366
#note Unfortunate timing for me.
>Jason_Keller: ?EFIRUY B10 FURY +33 363
#note We discussed this postgame. If I had to do it again, I would have gone for FRUItERY as long as I had the confidence to play it. On the other hand, FY at B10 scores well and leaves me with something to handle the Q and bingo potential.
>Dave_Wiegand: BDELOPU 1H PUEBL. +33 399
>Jason_Keller: ?AAAEIR A13 AIA +14 377
#note Considered AA as well, because it's a word. I feel like I have great opportunities to bingo out with a decent draw.
>Dave_Wiegand: DDILOOQ K3 Q.ID +35 434
>Jason_Keller: ?ACEKMR H10 ACKERs +54 431
#note Last tile over was a K. *cue Price is Right sad trombone* Dave put this on hold for a while. I had one more O out, which made me think that I had a fighting chance to win here. I'm supposed to block MODIOLI. I saw it from my tracking, but didn't see that it played on the board.
>Dave_Wiegand: DILMOO 6A .M +20 454
#note Dave misses his out play, and I'm thinking that he has one more tile and I've won by one...
>Jason_Keller: M J1 .M +10 441
#note But then I look again and see only five tiles on his rack. D'OH! We both negotiated some really tough racks in this game. I wish I had one rack that was two points easier.
