#player2 Simon_Walton Simon Walton
>Barry_Jordan: AEEGSTT 8D GESTATE +70 70
>Simon_Walton: AEIMOOR 9H MOAI +16 16
#note ROOMIE for 26 would have been better.
>Barry_Jordan: ABILLOV E1 VIOLABL. +76 146
#note I challenged because i'd not seen this one before.
>Simon_Walton: ?EMNORR 2B REN.fORM +68 84
#note I was looking for something through the I to block the V score onto the triple and also use the double word score, so REN(I)fORM preferred over RE(I)NfORM or others.
>Barry_Jordan: ADFT H1 D.AFT +39 185
#note Barry took several minutes on this turn, possibly holding the blank.
>Simon_Walton: EEIKNOP 1A KEP +33 117
#note I would have had a nice place onto the triple word with E(V)OKE, but Barry took the spot. Next best i saw was KEP.
>Barry_Jordan: ?IRSSUV 10G VIRUSeS +76 261
#note Barry slots his 3rd bingo in 4 turns, nicely fitted too.
>Simon_Walton: EEGINOU G10 .OGUE +10 127
#note I wanted to dump some vowels and open up the lower half of the board to give me the best chance to make up the score deficit.
>Barry_Jordan: BERW 15F BREW +37 298
#note Challenged VOGUER out of desperation.
>Simon_Walton: CEINORU M3 NOURICE. +74 201
#note Missed a better score with (D)ECURION 1H onto the triple. I was 100% sure of NOURICE(S) though and played quickly to save some time for the endgame.
>Barry_Jordan: ADGR L1 DRAG +24 322
>Simon_Walton: AFILNTY F6 YA. +31 232
#note This rack looked bingo friendly, but I could only come up with FINALITY and no floating i. F(A)Y at 3G for 37 would have been much nicer had i spotted it. Instead, I opted for some Asian pears.
>Barry_Jordan: HNT 11E TH.N +20 342
>Simon_Walton: AFILNTZ 1L .ITZ +42 274
#note Tossing up between (C)AZ & (D)ITZ here for the same score, but i preferred the FLAN leave with 4 unseen Is.
>Barry_Jordan: OX 8M .OX +36 378
>Simon_Walton: AFHJLNU 3A FAH +37 311
#note Tossing up between K3 HAJ (36) or 3A FAH (37). Ended up choosing FAH because i was hoping to use the J for a decent score later. Not sure that was the best option as win % was higher for HAJ in simulation.
>Barry_Jordan: AQY 13F Q.AY +20 398
>Simon_Walton: DIIJLNU J12 ID +21 332
#note Not a great rack for someone on the chase. Not really sure why i chose ID over DI for 2 less points.
>Barry_Jordan: EO 14I OE +19 417
#note Barry played this almost immediately.
>Simon_Walton: AEIJLNU 12C JAI +22 354
#note I took a very long time to decide where to play the J, and i wasn't really happy parting with my A. JA may have been better to avoid the easy rebate off the J. Quackle prefers K4 AJI or O5 JEU(X), but 12C JAI comes in around 3rd best.
>Barry_Jordan: LO 13B LO +22 439
#note Barry takes some points on the J. I probably would have too.
>Simon_Walton: DEELNNU A3 .UNNELED +89 443
#note A stroke of luck here might get me back in the game.
>Barry_Jordan: CEEINST 14A CITES +28 467
#note Barry had around 10 minutes on the clock left and used up quite a bit to make sure of this one. I agreed with his choice - Quackle also suggested NIECE in the same spot or K3 CENTES(IS) :)
>Simon_Walton: IPW 3G W.I +25 468
#note Unfortunately the P thwarted my come-from-behind-win. 3G W(A)I was the best i could see. Almost.
>Barry_Jordan: EN N3 EN +9 476
#note Good win for Barry.
>Barry_Jordan: (P) +6 482
