#player2 Lisa Lisa
>Carl: ACEENTX 8D EXACT +30 30
#note This is the correct placement for EXACT, which sims even with just EX.
>Lisa: AGILNQU D8 .QUALING +90 90
#note Good thing I put the E at 8D. Just counting my blessings.
>Carl: BEINOTY 14B BO.NY +36 66
#note There are several plays to consider here: TOXINE E6, BONEY 14B, BONNY 14B, and BIOGENY 15A. BONEY wins the sim. I think my reasoning here was that keeping the E would often yield big plays on column E. (-4)
>Lisa: IRW 11C W.IR +14 104
>Carl: DEHIMTV 15A MID.E +36 102
>Lisa: ?EFIMRT I3 FIRMEsT +81 185
>Carl: ?AEHOTV 5F OVe.HATE +76 178
>Lisa: DIOOV 6B OVOID +22 207
>Carl: GJNOORW 4D JOG +27 205
#note This sims even with MOW 6I, setting up JAW.
>Lisa: EF 4H F.E +23 230
>Carl: AENOTUW 9B TO.UE +26 231
#note UW count: 6. Quackle goes with OUTWENT L3 or ENOW/ANEW 4L. (-1)
>Lisa: BEY L3 BY.E +18 248
>Carl: AHINRSW N1 RAWISH +54 285
#note She blocked SHERWANI, but this makes a good plan B.
>Lisa: DGI 1L GI.D +24 272
>Carl: AEEIKNP O6 EEK +26 311
#note A critical, game-losing mistake. Earlier, I saw the possibility of KNIFE H1 but then forgot about it. But there's an even better play: APEEK O6, a five that I know I've missed before. (-12).
>Lisa: AELTZ B2 ZEAL.T +30 302
>Carl: AILNPSU 13C P.A +25 336
#note If the last turn wasn't bad enough, here I miss one of the hardest new bingos: TAILSPUN H8, a word which aptly sums up my rating after this tournament. I don't even consider this a careless mistake. This is a word I would miss every time. I just can't seem to get it through my skull that NUPTIALS UNPLAITS has a new anagram. Perhaps now I'll never miss it again. (-54)
>Lisa: COR 8L COR. +13 315
#note That's a really smart play by Lisa! It forks the board so that I can't possibly block all bingos. My next move was going to be TURNS I9.
>Carl: ILNNRSU L8 .URNS +14 350
#note My plan here is to give Lisa one more chance to bingo before the board is dead. Quackle exchanges LNU here. (-3)
>Lisa: EELNSTU J9 ELUENTS +63 378
#note Curses!
>Carl: IILNNRS 15G LIN. +12 362
#note Can you believe it? I'm right to block POSADA, but NILS 15G is way better because it doesn't allow PAAN I12. What a loser! (-7)
>Lisa: AAADOP C1 PAD +29 407
>Carl: INRS 11H IN.R.S +12 374
#note And now, since Lisa can't play out, the correct decision is RAN K4, making FIERY. (-6)
>Carl: (AAO) +6 380
#note Quackle says I was 87 points south of perfect this game. Pretty weak.
