>Chris_Grubb: EEILOSU H8 EUOI +8 8
#note Round 17 of the 2018 Labor Day Oregon Coast Open (LOCO). After an undefeated day 2, I am in second place at 12-4 +1259. Probably catching Chris Lipe, who stands at 15-1 is not going to happen, but to have any chance I will need to defeat him in this game.
This, LOUIE, and Exch. EOU are the best openings.
>Chris_Lipe: ?DEEEMR G4 REDEEMs +73 73
#note Scored as 71.
>Chris_Grubb: AELNOSW H1 LOWE +27 35
>Chris_Lipe: AEILMN I2 MENIAL +23 96
>Chris_Grubb: ADINSSY J4 SNY +33 68
>Chris_Lipe: BFU F2 FUB +23 119
>Chris_Grubb: ADIOS F6 IO +11 79
#note Forgot to write down my other letters, but the idea was to keep a good leave and open a new bingo lane.
>Chris_Lipe: AJT E5 TAJ +34 153
>Chris_Grubb: ADEIKRS D1 DAIKERS +96 175
#note Lucky to draw a bingo that still fits. To DAIKER means to move slowly as in a state of irresolution, as in: "I'll pay up your thousan pund Scots, plack and bawbee, gin ye'll be an honest fallow for anes, and just daiker up the gate wi' this Sassenach.?
>Chris_Lipe: AIP 1A PAI. +21 174
>Chris_Grubb: EOORTUV B1 .VO +12 187
#note If I just bingoed for 96 points, why am I up by so little??? AVO sims best, for what it's worth.
>Chris_Lipe: ACDEGT A3 GEDACT +36 210
#note A type of organ stop.
>Chris_Grubb: EIOPRTU B8 OUP +13 200
#note My POUTIER was blocked, so again I fish and again Quackle approves. The only problem is that even if I do draw a bingo, it's likely to get blocked again.
>Chris_Lipe: HLOTY C9 HOTLY +43 253
>Chris_Grubb: AEIRTUZ D10 ZEA +44 244
#note No spot for AZURITE. Quackle prefers 12A ZI(L)A, but it seemed like he would get too many points coming back.
>Chris_Lipe: ADINN F10 DINNA +19 272
#note Interesting play! Chris L is ahead so he presumably wants to play defense. Therefore, I infer that he either has all the E's (unlikely) or he doesn't know that DINNAE is a word. (It's new.) How can I use this to my advantage?
>Chris_Grubb: IRRSTUW 5I ..WIT +16 260
#note Quackle prefers a variety of plays in the lower-left, but I wanted to preserve my (DINNA)E hook for when I eventually draw an E. 5G (E)R(IN)US is interesting, as is Quackle's top choice, 13A WR(Y). Also, exchanging RUW sims about even with my play. I'm starting to get worry about the TLS at B6 and the unseen X.
>Chris_Lipe: CEINOSX L2 EXC.SION +86 358
#note Now things are looking bleak, but it's better for me that he bingos with the X than he bingos and draws the X for another big play.
>Chris_Grubb: ?ELRRSU 15B cURLERS +78 338
>Chris_Grubb: AEGGRRV (challenge) +5 343
#note A great EL? draw keeps me in the game though later I realize I probably should have bingoed at M8 so as to retain the -E hook. Even so, I would have to get very lucky in order to win. (As expected, I do get the +5 for DINNAE.)
>Chris_Lipe: FHQ 7K F.QH +29 387
#note FIQH: In Islamic jurisprudence, the human understanding of the sharia as revealed in the Quran and the Sunnah.
>Chris_Grubb: AEGGRRV 2K V.RGE +18 361
#note 2K V(E)RRA keeping EGG is best, but I didn't know the word. My play is a few points back.
>Chris_Lipe: ABINOTT O1 B.ANO +24 411
>Chris_Grubb: AGR 9J RA.G +7 368
#note Pretty well-played game on my part, but nobody could stop the Lipe juggernaut!
>Chris_Grubb: (ITT) +6 374
