#player1 Stefan Stefan
#player2 Goutham Goutham
>Stefan: AAAGRTV H8 AVA +12 12
#note Meh. AVATAR is better.
>Goutham: BEILO 11E OBELI +21 21
>Stefan: AABFGRT 12B BARF +23 35
#note No real standout plays here. Quackle slightly prefers any of a number of plays hooking the A on OBELI, but that seems a little reckless.
>Goutham: AGZ J10 ZAG +41 62
>Stefan: ACEGOTT G2 COTTAGE +65 100
>Goutham: APY F6 YAP +37 99
>Stefan: IINTTTU 4D TUT.I +12 112
#note Lot of so-so choices. Quackle's favorite is B10 UN(B)ITT#, which I didn't know and don't love.
>Goutham: ?DEEIRU 13H REsIDUE +79 178
>Stefan: DIILNTV N10 VIN.D +34 146
#note Slight favorite in the sim over C7 INVIT(A)L and N8 INVIT(E)D.
>Goutham: CELN C9 CLE.N +20 198
#note Board starting to get a little tight.
>Stefan: EIIKLRT F11 .ILK +30 176
#note Grrrr. Thought about TICKLIER but wasn't nearly sure enough about it. Never seen KITTLIER# before. Wasn't thrilled about setting up such a juicy hook for an S that I didn't have, but it seemed like a good time to try something provocative.
>Goutham: ENNOSX 15A XENONS +53 251
#note I managed to pull a big bingo, but he snatches the spot.
>Stefan: EFIRSTW 10B F.EW +27 203
#note Best.
>Goutham: ENQR E3 Q.ERN +38 289
#note Starting to look a little bleak.
>Stefan: IOPRSTY K7 TYPOS +49 252
#note Or PYROS.
>Goutham: EIMSTU 3B MIS.U.TE +46 335
#note OK, that's a pretty nifty play.
>Stefan: GIIIMRR -IIIGMRR +0 252
#note Ugh. Terrible draw at the worst time. Quackle's not crazy about the trade. I was maybe a little on tilt here.
>Goutham: AAEOORW L1 UNWHOLE +80 415
>Goutham: AAEOORW -- -80 335
#note I catch a huge break as Goutham tries to put this one away early.
>Stefan: AAADJRS H13 .AJ +30 282
#note Aaaaarghh. I actually did consider whether JAMADARS# could be an alternate spelling of JEMIDARS (it is), but it was a completely wild guess. Way below the probability range of CSW-only bingos that I've studied.
>Goutham: EHLOW L3 WHOLE +24 359
>Stefan: AADHRRS M7 DAH +19 301
#note Quackle wants me to hook MISQUOTE here, and even gives J1 ARRAH# (which I didn't know anyway) or RADAR about a 25% chance of winning. That seems....a little optimistic? I settled for opening another lane and hoping for a lucky draw.
>Goutham: MOR M2 ROM +27 386
#note He initially put down ROUM to the left of WHOLE, but I used my psychic powers to make him pick it up and go with this instead.
>Stefan: ?AEORRS J1 ARROcES +85 386
>Stefan: EO (challenge) +5 391
#note I hit my lucky draw of ?EO, and then spent a few minutes trying to decide how sure I was of MISQUOTER and STED#. Doesn't really matter though....ARMOIRES isn't going to be enough points. Goutham is forced to challenge MISQUOTER.
>Goutham: DGIIINU B1 DI.ING +28 414
>Goutham: DGIIINU -- -28 386
#note No possible wins (nor would there have been without the +5), so he's forced to try this. And I don't have quite enough to outrun it, so I'm forced to challenge.
>Stefan: EO 14A OE +17 408
#note Whew!
>Stefan: (DNGIIIU) +18 426
