#note wow, quackle likes sacrificing 9 pts to keep EHS over HOS! this is part of it; JOKE also gives up a lot more points. -2 #tacticsmedium

#note i considered ASPISH but i didn't like it after his exchange 3. i also laid down PHASIC and picked it up because it takes an A. i don't know. would you play ASPISH? my play sims best when i specify AEGNR for him, which is close to what he had, so i'll call this not a mistake.

#note i told a few people this is the worst mistake i've ever made in a tournament game. i think this is correct. what hurts most is that this was day 4, and i'd been playing in the top 5 tables all tournament long pretty much. i had just beaten will and was still hanging around 6th place, just needed a run to get me to the finals. and then i play this. it doesn't make sense. of course i saw caressed, and in my infinite wisdom i decided to keep looking for bingos. i didn't remember studying addresser* but surely it's a word since adressee* is a word. when he challenged it i was kind of shocked and was like "that seems like a common enough word to me" but felt ok because i still had two playable bingos. #knowledgelarge

>cesar: ADEERSS H12 DEAR +26 107
#note after coming back i realized the word was spelled ADDRESS so its inflections would of course not have a single D. this is a word people learn when they're literally 5 years old. it's a very embarrassing, shocking, sad mistake that i hope i never repeat again at a nationals or any tournament. i was so close to doing great.

#note and it's basically over now unless i draw something good fast. -2.5 15A VEES to open it up a bit more and take a scoring spot. #strategysmall
>carl: GNPU 15A PUNG +32 194
>cesar: EMNSSTX 15J NEXT +23 150
#note a bad play. 9A NEXTS seems to give me a better shot and scores way more. -8.5 #strategymedium

>cesar: AELLMSS 12K MALL +24 174
#note any shot i had of winning disappeared by missing MEALLESS, which is kind of a hard find, granted, especially with my state of mind at this point. -24 #knowledgelarge

#note i've actually played ossifier at a tournament earlier this year, but no hope of finding it here. i was nearly in tears by the end of this game, which hasn't happened to me in many years! i ended up losing my focus for much of the rest of the day. -9 #knowledgelarge

#note i think championship player hates this because of the big Q points it gives up. i don't know. i don't buy it and think it's doing something wrong.
