#player2 Peter Peter
>David_Brown: UX 8G XU +18 18
#note Mr. Brown has won the first 4 previous meetings in NASPA.
>Peter: AIIRSTU G8 .U +10 10
#note not a good play..though I draw a BINGO, David does right to exchange rather than open it up; Q likes XI G8 (keeping AIRSTU) and opening bingo lane
>David_Brown: IIIII -IIIII +0 18
>Peter: ADIIRST 9G .TA +6 16
#note I open it up but leave (IIDRS) isn't good enough to warrant..Q wanted to exchange ID (leaving AIDRS)...but isn't it hard to break up a bingo?
>David_Brown: EEL 10H EEL +10 28
>Peter: ADGIIRS 11J ID +8 24
#note Q likes exchange GI (leaving ADIRS)
>David_Brown: AEHL 12I HEAL +20 48
>Peter: AEGIRSU 13K GAUR +17 41
#note Q likes it scooted over to 13H and one more point. I agree and didn't look for that.
>David_Brown: NOO 13G ONO +11 59
>Peter: EEIIIST -EII +0 41
#note drawing IIET to IES wasn't ideal but it happens and it is time to exchange; Q likes this best
>David_Brown: DEERR 12C ERRED +15 74
>Peter: BEINSST O13 SIB +21 62
#note Q likes BUTE h7 a bit better (leaving EINSST)
>David_Brown: GLPRU C8 GULP.R +20 94
>Peter: EENNSTV 8A VE. +21 83
#note Q likes VENTER E7 (18 pts) about the same as this. Top plays, both.
>David_Brown: IK E10 KI. +14 108
>Peter: EINNNST 9B N.N +5 88
#note Q likes KIRN E10 about the same as this; best plays, both.
>David_Brown: BEV N11 VE.B +26 134
>Peter: EINOOST 14B ISOTONE +84 172
#note Q best play
>David_Brown: DITY 15H TIDY +33 167
>Peter: AENORSY 15D YON +23 195
#note Q best play
>David_Brown: ACM 7H MAC +14 181
>Peter: AEEFHRS K5 FEH +29 224
#note Q likes FANE D7 (24 pts)...Strangely I didn't think of VEGA the entire game...a small oversight like that can cost someone a game (new words/hooks aren't deeply embedded yet)
>David_Brown: ADIZ I3 ZAID. +25 206
>Peter: ?AEEQRS L2 QuAERES +101 325
#note best play; so happy it FIT
>David_Brown: GIW 8L .WIG +24 230
>Peter: AIJLOPT 2L .AT +24 349
#note PITA M1 is the only 100% win play. Leaving myself JOL and opening big QIS comeback just didn't appeal to me...it also doesn't block ING bingos on column O...this is what I am most vulnerable to at this point
>David_Brown: ACR J2 CAR +24 254
>Peter: IJLMOOP H4 JO +37 386
#note best play...O set it up! Thanks.
>David_Brown: EFW 1M FEW +34 288
>Peter: AILMOPT G3 MAP +26 412
#note I thought long and hard to find a play that blocks row 1. PIA G2 but only saves a few in spread compared to MAP. Q sees POTMAN and PITMAN D4; 12 points better than MAP in spread.
>David_Brown: ?INOST 1E TONIcS +21 309
#note apparently FATING M1 (leaving OS for another play) is 3 points better to spread than going out!
>David_Brown: (ILOT) +8 317
