>Nick_Purifoy: EEEGSUV 8H PLUSHER +82 82
#note Div. 2, day 2, round 9 of Ankeny tournament. Nick and I are both on fire, having won 7 of 8 in day 1, but somehow this got scored for a full four points less than he actually earned (78).
>Daniel_Heck: AWY 7M YAW +24 24
>Nick_Purifoy: BEEGOOV 6L RAW +34 116
>Daniel_Heck: AADEFNT J6 JO.LE +30 54
>Nick_Purifoy: BEEGOOV K10 XU +27 143
>Daniel_Heck: AADFNRT N2 ANTI... +20 74
#note Here I figured I had a bunch of cheapies that didn't bingo, so why not go for the creative extension?
>Nick_Purifoy: BEEGOOV 3J COOI.G +18 161
>Daniel_Heck: AADEFPR K2 B.SH +18 92
#note Duplicate-S rack, but no real better way to both balance and keep the left side of the board open (I'm already down a bingo)
>Nick_Purifoy: DI O1 DI. +17 178
>Daniel_Heck: AADEFPR L11 TOD +10 102
>Nick_Purifoy: NNORSTU M10 GAPED +31 209
#note I'm beginning here to think I'm losing traction...
>Daniel_Heck: AAEFGNR I8 .EV +23 125
>Nick_Purifoy: NNORSTU -NNORSTU +0 209
#note Then again, a turn without Nick scoring feels like the door opens back up a bit...
>Daniel_Heck: AAAFGNR 9G FE.. +15 140
#note Then again, a turn without Nick scoring feels like the door opens back up a little...
>Nick_Purifoy: AUV N13 VAU +25 234
>Daniel_Heck: AAACGNR 10D ROBE +17 157
#note I'm feeling the board closing in on me, so this play creates lanes without giving an excessively practical 7-lane (like if I played just OBE).
>Nick_Purifoy: EEKM 11B MEEK +34 268
#note Maybe Nick thought this was appropriately defensive given the R-lane, but playing the same word from 11E scores more and baits me into blocking the TWS. Tough call, had the positions been reversed.
>Daniel_Heck: AAACGNR 9C QI +24 181
#note And doubly, if he had moved it over, I wouldn't have a place to get rid of the Q.
>Nick_Purifoy: EILOORS 8D TUI +9 277
#note Plus then I wouldn't have had a place to dump the dang Q!
>Daniel_Heck: AAACGNR E7 N. +2 183
#note I absolutely must open bingo lanes at this point, and it helped that there's only one more G in the bag. If I draw it, I can play here. If he has it, he only seals the deal that much more. Risk evaluation!
>Nick_Purifoy: ELLOORS O10 TRIAL +18 295
#note This was a valiant place on the board to try to block, but...
>Daniel_Heck: EINRRSS 12A RINSErS +87 270
#note I was left to take advantage of board vision and a lucky draw.
>Nick_Purifoy: ELNOOTZ B11 ..NCY +24 319
>Daniel_Heck: ADEMNNR 15A A. +15 285
>Nick_Purifoy: EMO 11G EMO +19 338
>Daniel_Heck: DEINNRT 14B .AF +8 293
#note I still have work to do, so this "forks" the board one more time.
>Nick_Purifoy: AEILOTZ 7E .OT +6 344
#note Another well-intended block, but...
>Daniel_Heck: DEGIINT 15D EDItING +83 376
#note I still can play a hammer. (If he blocks row 15, DINGIER played in row 6.)
>Nick_Purifoy: AELNORZ I13 ZE. +22 366
>Daniel_Heck: T 5K .O +7 383
#note Trailed 13 of 15 turns. Never, ever give up.
>Daniel_Heck: (ALNRT) +10 393
#note Mis-tabulated as 78, but still a heck of a start.
