>Ryan_Fischer: AEGLPRX 8H RELAX +40 40
>Flora_Taylor: OV L6 VO. +13 13
>Ryan_Fischer: ADGIPRT 7G GAP +20 60
#note Champ says DIG 9I 17.
>Flora_Taylor: AKP 6H PAK +29 42
>Ryan_Fischer: DIIIRTU 9I DIT +19 79
#note Champ says to exchange, keeping RT. This or the previous play is where things started to go downhill. DIT isn't terrible, but IIRU is pretty bad is the problem. I figure she's not doing much on this board without S, ?, or ING.
>Flora_Taylor: ?EIMNTU 5B MINUTEs +71 113
#note Probably the worst thing that could happen at this point.
>Ryan_Fischer: CGHIIRU B1 CHIR. +24 103
#note CHIR(M) doesn't even rank. D1 CURI(N)G 24 is best by far. Shouldn't have missed that.
>Flora_Taylor: FLOW D1 FLOW. +30 143
>Ryan_Fischer: ACGIMSU 6L .UG +11 114
#note I was all hung up on thinking she blocked GUAIACUMS until I realized that that's 9 letters. Ugly spot here too. Champ says (V)UG is 2nd to (F)ICUS. (I)S(O)GAMIC is 3rd. Pretty. For what's available to me, DIT and CHIRM were mistakes, sure, but nothing too egregious yet.
>Flora_Taylor: AERU 1D .EUAR +24 167
>Ryan_Fischer: AACDIMS 2F MA +22 136
#note And a brick. Saw ASDIC. Passed. 2D (L)AM 23 is what Champ says (Collins). I played the next best thing. Just in danger of my setup getting taken, and then it's GG.
>Flora_Taylor: OV N4 VO. +7 174
>Ryan_Fischer: AAACDIS A2 AA +9 145
#note Are you kidding me? Can't play CA(V)A# or CAA#. Fish again and hope? Champ says take the hook before she does with SAID. Shoulda listened.
>Flora_Taylor: ?DEFINS O6 SNIFfED +94 268
#note GG. She coulda played (RELAX)INS for 45, keeping the blank, too, but that wasn't worth it at that score.
>Ryan_Fischer: ACDIRST K8 ..TIC +14 159
#note At this point, something DRASTIC must be done. I need no DISTRACTions. (LI)D is Champ's choice. Decent, if a bit desperate. I don't have the O, but at least I have the S. This is like 4% to win. (MINUTEs)T is another option, 8%.
>Flora_Taylor: HOY 3G HOY +27 295
>Ryan_Fischer: ADGORSY 4K GRO.Y +32 191
>Flora_Taylor: DEN - +0 295
#note Lost challenge.
>Ryan_Fischer: AABDISS 11F BASID.AS +61 252
>Ryan_Fischer: AABDISS -- -61 191
#note Just been inundated with As this game. I sorta knew this was bogus, but was desperate. It's already plural, good without the S, plural of BASIDIUM. 4v7. Figured she might not challenge after she had lost a challenge. She figured just the opposite -- that I might be more likely to phony after having won a challenge. Touche.
>Flora_Taylor: DEN O1 DEN. +24 319
>Ryan_Fischer: AABDISS N1 AB +19 210
#note BA off of HOY is 1 more. Hate keeping two eses here, but other options aren't as great.
>Flora_Taylor: EEILNRS 13E LIERNES +67 386
>Ryan_Fischer: ADEISST 12A DISSEAT +76 286
#note 6-tile underlap down low for 78! SAIDEST# also plays.
>Flora_Taylor: ITZ A12 .ITZ +42 428
>Ryan_Fischer: EEJOOQT 8N Q. +11 297
#note There is of course no hope now, but I'm probably more likely to bingo with the J than the Q. I didn't even really calculate it, even though there is a U to draw. Not really caring anymore. 26 games seems to be my limit. :)
>Flora_Taylor: BEU 15A .EBU +16 444
>Ryan_Fischer: EEJNOOT B10 JO.N +29 326
#note J(O)T(U)N# is 31.
>Flora_Taylor: EILNORW N11 WORN +22 466
>Ryan_Fischer: EET 14F TEE +15 341
#note Dumb play. Plays for 1 more elsewhere, and doesn't give back a spot. Low on time.
>Flora_Taylor: EIL 15G LEI +22 488
>Flora_Taylor: (O) +2 490
