#title 2018 NSC Round 3
#description Will Anderson plays Paul Epstein in Round 3 at the 2018 NSC
>Will: ?EHIIOO 8H OHO +12 12
#note Wow, no idea what possessed me to do this - I think I went haywire because I wanted to do HIOI#, and then just went down to the next best word after that (though OI is actually better).
>Paul: ACGIORW 7H WOG +22 22
>Will: ?AEEIIS -AEII +0 12
>Paul: ACIRUVW 9F VAW +19 41
>Will: ?EILSTX 10H SeXTILE +91 103
>Paul: ACEILRU 6J AULIC +21 62
>Will: ACDENTT 5E CANTED +24 127
#note I could fish, for example with the extremely amusing I10 ET for one point, or I could play the much more standard looking M3 ATTIC/ANTIC; but the extra points and defense of CANTED seemed worth it. Quackle agrees.
>Paul: DENQRTY F3 TR.NQ +16 78
>Will: FINNRTV H1 FRIT. +27 154
#note Less open than M9 FLINT
>Paul: DEEIIYZ 11I DIE +23 101
>Will: EINNUUV L1 UNVEI. +20 174
#note Less open than M8 UNLIVE
>Paul: AEILOYZ 2J ZO.AE +68 169
>Will: ?ANORSU D5 SOlUNAR +67 241
#note N6 CANKEROUS/CANCEROUS is cool. SOLUNAR was the most defensive bingo I could find, and it does indeed reduce Paul's bingo% the most. Only M6 INSULATOR sims better.
>Paul: AEILRRY 12K LAIRY +27 196
>Will: BFJNRST 10B FR.T +15 256
#note Gunning for either a JABS/JIBS/JOBS play with SEXTILE, or perhaps a J play on row 1. Sims neck and neck with 1K BUNTS.
