>Harriet_Lakernick: OOOO -OOOO +0 0
>Jack_Overby: ABBDLTT 8F BLAB +16 16
#note I wanted to exchange here. This sims best, but given that Harriette was likely keeping some decent tiles, perhaps I should have traded.
>Harriet_Lakernick: IIII -IIII +0 0
#note Ex. 4, Take 2, action!
>Jack_Overby: DNOOTTV G6 VO.T +9 25
#note Agonized over this turn for quite a while. I waffled between Exch. DOOTV, 9H DOT/TOD and 9E TOOT, but once I saw this, it seemed best. Looks like I should have gone with one of my other options.
>Harriet_Lakernick: ACMP 10F CAMP +24 24
#note Harriette must have had some real dreck those first two turns. Board is getting tight!
>Jack_Overby: DHINOOT 11I OHO +16 41
#note Looked at the M for some time, yet somehow failed to spot H10 MOTION 27! I also didn't know CAMPO (in English, at least). I could smell the suck on this one from a parsec away. Indeed, it stinks, simming over 5% worse than J9 plays (DOH, HOO, OOH). Aye.
>Harriet_Lakernick: ANTY F10 .ANTY +18 42
>Jack_Overby: DDDILNT 14A TIDDL. +22 63
#note I was relieved to get this down, but DIDDLY for 24 is even better. Somehow, though, 12I DINT 23 wins the sim. Really?
>Harriet_Lakernick: ?IINRTW 12H TWINIeR +85 127
#note The only bingo. Nice find and placement by Harriette! For some reason, I almost held.
>Jack_Overby: DEIMNWZ 10K WINZE +43 106
#note A YUGE miss! M7 WIZENeD 66, which I thought of on my way home, is best by leagues. Mine is essentially tied for an oh-so-distant second (29% vs 38%). I'm off to a rocky start, to say the least!
>Harriet_Lakernick: AHOS E10 SHOA. +41 168
#note Another very nice find and placement by Harriette. She's definitely outfoxing me so far.
>Jack_Overby: ?DEIMNU A7 IMpUDEN. +83 189
#note Nothing a nice blank to save one's posterior! I spent several ages looking for a phantom 3x3. This is second best, next to O4 MINUEtED 89, which I didn't know. At this point, I was in time trouble, as I had less than 10 mins left, compared to Harriette's 18ish.
>Harriet_Lakernick: AFGLN O5 FLANG. +30 198
>Jack_Overby: ACEEIRR D11 ACE. +33 222
#note Almost played D12 CEDE 29, but thankfully, I saw this, which is comfortably best.
>Harriet_Lakernick: DEIV N2 VIDE +21 219
>Jack_Overby: EIJORRU 4I JURIE. +28 250
#note I saw this and M5 REJOIN (also 28). Looks like I made the right call, as this is best.
>Harriet_Lakernick: EEQR J3 Q.EER +16 235
>Jack_Overby: GILORTU K2 GI.T +25 275
#note Oh so mediocre. I wanted to block column B, but there was no good way to do so. Sim strongly prefers M7 LOUNGeR 18 and M4 ERUGO, which win around 63%, compared to a pedestrian 56% for this. Yet another blunder.
>Harriet_Lakernick: AOP B9 APO +25 260
>Jack_Overby: AEILORU M3 A.RIE +22 297
#note Never came close to seeing N10 ZORIL 28. This lags about 3% the shock sim winner, N12 ROUE 8! That's some kamikaze stuff. No thanks.
>Harriet_Lakernick: EGOOR 6C GROO.E +12 272
#note Interesting move by Harriette. I figured that given her deficit, she'd want to keep lanes B and C open, and perhaps even open up the bottom right, but she was of another mind.
>Jack_Overby: LORSTUY D4 LO.RY +24 321
#note I intentionally emptied the bag so as not to let her fish. This wins about 93% of the time, but the star move is C6 GORY 22, which scores about as well, while blocking the ominous C9 pA/X hook.
>Harriet_Lakernick: AEEKNSS N10 .E.KS +36 308
#note Best. Yet another nice find by Harriette.
>Jack_Overby: EFSTUUX H12 .EXT +33 354
#note I just slapped this down, as less than 15 seconds remained for me. It's best, one of only two moves that win with optimal play (the other is 9A pAX 17).
>Harriet_Lakernick: AENS 8F ....S +24 332
#note Two behind the tough-to-spot C6 GEANS 24. With my ugly tiles, though, milking is not a bad idea.
>Jack_Overby: FSUU 14K FUS. +7 361
#note One behind 7A IF 5, which blocks C6 GEAN 18.
>Harriet_Lakernick: AEN L6 ANE +8 340
#note Neither of us saw GEAN, though.
>Harriet_Lakernick: (U) +2 342
#note A pretty tough game, made even tougher by my WIZENED whiff, but my late game/preendgame/endgame were just unbad enough to let me squeak out a win. Very well played, Harriette!
