>Darrell: GI 8G GI +6 6
>Avery: BEIRRSW I6 BREW +18 18
>Darrell: BOU 6G BU.O +10 16
>Avery: ACIILRS G8 .RACILIS +63 81
>Darrell: ?EHIIMS 15G .MItHIES +89 105
#note He has a few hard double-doubles here, ISCHEMIC, ISCHEMIA, ISOCHEIM, ISOCHIME, MISCHIEF.
>Avery: JOY 5J JOY +35 116
#note Missed the rack. I can't imagine this was wrong.
>Darrell: AAQU 4L AQUA +38 143
>Avery: ADEGLRT O1 ALG. +15 131
#note Weak play. Felt compelled to take out the easiest scoring spot on the board. DERT works well with the I on row 12 and can bingo on row 3 about 50% of the time (I thought it was a little higher in the game). Not my best effort here though, I think I like things like GRAAL even more.
>Darrell: DEOV J8 DOVE +27 170
>Avery: DEEGIRT 14F G.E +12 143
#note Missed 11E RECITED on this turn, but saw it on the next turn. Still about 50% to bingo next turn, and I didn't want to blow up the rack with osmething like N10 GRIDES.
>Darrell: EPW 14M PEW +24 194
#note Scored as 22
>Avery: DEIRTTX 12B EDITR.X +46 189
#note I finally saw RECITED here, but completely missed EXCITED and EXCITER! The X didn't seem to be all that great on this board, so I went for the points. It does sim a little ahead of RECITED and bingoes about 17% more (21% to 4%), but gives back more points. Ouch.
>Darrell: CDEELST B6 SELECT.D +69 263
>Avery: ?LNNNOT 11I T.NNO +10 199
#note No idea what to do.
>Darrell: EEHINT A3 THEINE +49 312
>Avery: ?AILNRU E5 RUtILAN. +78 277
#note Only bingo that scores more than 66.
>Darrell: AFK 13L KAF +36 348
>Avery: DIMNOOY 9B .D +5 282
#note YOM got blocked, so I'm in a pretty bad spot. I'm not going to win without a bingo, and a big one at that, so I made the decision to try to draw one of the two remaining T's to hit 1H MYOTONIA for 92. If he scores like 20 on his next turn and I hit my fish, I can potentially outscore. Even if I don't hit it next turn, it seems to be my only way back in, since row 3 is surely getting blocked, and row 1 isn't the most obvious place to play. I'd welcome more creative ideas, but I can't picture anything like 9I WOODY winning very often when Darrell will surely play more defensively than Quackle thinks.
>Darrell: AFRZ 3I ZARF +35 383
>Avery: IMNOOVY 10E .V. +14 296
#note Basically locked into going for MYOTONIA at this point, so this is forced. I'm not really ever winning at this point though.
>Darrell: ANP D6 NAP +18 401
>Avery: IMNOOUY K14 U. +5 301
#note He drew the last T after NAP.
>Darrell: OT 13B .OT +16 417
>Avery: EIMNOOY 2J MOON +34 335
#note I'd have lost by 12 at this point if I had drawn the T. This is two off of optinal to B2 YOM, but I just wanted points since spread didn't matter.
>Darrell: AEORST 3A .OASTER +16 433
#note 1E OSETRA is his best out. Well done to Darrell for two good wins.
>Darrell: (IEY) +12 445
