#player1 Nigel_Richards Nigel Richards
#player2 Will_Anderson Will Anderson
>Nigel_Richards: AEERUVY H4 VEERY +30 30
>Will_Anderson: EINORWY 4H .IEWY +28 28
#note I have to win by 20 or more to win the tourney.
>Nigel_Richards: AKORSUU 5K OUK +29 59
>Will_Anderson: LMNNOOR 6J NOM +21 49
#note NOM was the safest option to score decently without giving a ton back while also not closing bingo lines too much (I need to continue to get luckier than Nigel).
>Nigel_Richards: ADINRSU 5B UNRAIS.D +71 130
>Will_Anderson: AELNOOR 7H .OON +14 63
#note Tough choice here. Again, I can hardly score anything here, so I'm just trying to balance without closing the UNRAISED lanes.
>Nigel_Richards: AADEEOT 4A TOEA +18 148
>Will_Anderson: AEEGLRT F4 L.TREAGE +65 128
#note Whew, just wriggled out of a bad situation by hitting the one remaining open tile.
>Nigel_Richards: ADELUXZ G9 XU +37 185
>Will_Anderson: AALNPST 12F SALTPAN +80 208
>Nigel_Richards: ADEHLOZ 11K ZOL +48 233
>Will_Anderson: ?CILTVW 11C WIV. +20 228
>Nigel_Richards: ADEHIIS 8K SHIAI +44 277
>Will_Anderson: ?ACHLTT D7 THeT.CAL +82 310
>Nigel_Richards: ADENOPR 13J OPED +35 312
>Will_Anderson: EFGIIJN 14B JI.GIE +32 342
#note Knowing that I'm needing to beat the most precise endgame player ever by 20, I decided maintaining tempo advantage was not enough and decided to go for broke to get the next bingo down.
>Nigel_Richards: ACFMNRR 15F FARM +34 346
>Will_Anderson: ?EFGINR O8 .NFRInGE +86 428
#note I drew relentlessly well against Nigel.
>Nigel_Richards: CENORTU 8B OC. +8 354
>Will_Anderson: ABBDEEI 10B BA. +16 444
#note He doesn't have anything terribly damaging in the spot he just opened up. Something like 3I BE setting up my other B works out tremendously well for me. As always, my time was dwindling to nothing by this point.
>Nigel_Richards: ENQRSTU A6 TERN +39 393
>Will_Anderson: BDDEEI 7M BE +16 460
#note Far from optimal, but I only had time to calculate that this play would win by 20 or more against SQUID, and it did.
>Nigel_Richards: QSU I1 SQU.. +16 409
>Nigel_Richards: (DDEI) +12 421
