#title 2019 NSC Round 24
#description Joshua Sokol plays Will Anderson in Round 24 at the 2019 NSC
>Joshua: DDEORST H8 ODD +10 10
#note exch D is best #tacticssmall
>Will: CEEINPV 10H .EV +15 15
#note Was really unhappy making this play after ODD, but I couldn't figure out anything I liked better. At the very least it's not particularly likely that he'll double-double with DEVA or DEVI...
>Joshua: AEFRSTT K10 AFT +20 30
>Will: CEIINPR 8E PEC.RINI +63 78
>Joshua: EEERSTT 11B TERETES +70 100
>Will: ABBFIOO K3 BABOO. +20 98
#note BABOO is massively better defensively, yikes. #strategymedium
>Joshua: DLOSUWZ 6J W.ULD +21 121
>Will: EFINRVX 12A VIXEN +55 153
>Joshua: GIOOSSZ L1 ZOOS +54 175
>Will: FHKLNRT M2 NTH +30 183
>Joshua: AAEGISY N2 SAYI. +40 215
>Will: FHKLNRW F6 KN.W +21 204
>Joshua: AEGOQUU 11K .UG +7 222
#note this has quite good recursion potential, so it's not as much of a mistake as quackle says over OU(T)AGE. But it's a testament to how OUTAGE is better than FUG doesn't immediately do as well, since it means I don't draw a huge Q play as often as I would like to. #findingmedium
>Will: FHILMOR C9 FL..OR +40 244
#note This was a very lazy sequence for me. The first thing that crossed my mind after FUG was, hmm, I bet he has QU more than usual after a move like that; but I really should've stopped, taken a second, and realized that he practically always has QU after FUG - he also made setups on me in each of our first two games! Therefore, I should have at the very least considered 12I LITHO, which obviously is gonna do very well against the QU range. This isn't as bad as the next turn, but still probably at least a #strategysmall
>Joshua: ACEOOQU E5 COO. +24 246
#note even in this spot, where COO(P) is so much better than QUA/FUG, Quackle's top static choice is to use the Q, so it really has no idea how good (F)UG is, since it always assumes I cash the Q.
>Will: ?AAHIMN 12I MA.H +28 272
#note OK, even less excuse now with some time to think about it, and another turn for him to draw something there - I gotta do something like M9 MAGIAN to block that area. I think I thought that after he gets 80 there, I bingo for hopefully a comparable amount and still have tempo on a crummy board. But why wouldn't I try to stop the 80? FLEXOR and MATH would have been ok plays otherwise, but...come on. I will say that of all my turns at Nationals this year, this one was most tilting, because I saw all 4 of my playable CSW bingos here, and got agitated that I somehow didn't have a single TWL one...stopping myself from those kinds of reactions might be a bigger challenge than actually keeping the words straight. #strategylarge
>Joshua: ?AEELQU N9 EQUALEd +128 374
#note this was the most ridiculous draw I could have expected.
>Will: ?AEIINU 14B U.EdINIA +68 340
>Joshua: EEILMRY O12 MIRE +41 415
#note somehow, even after looking for a bit, I missed the ELMIER fit. #findingmedium
>Will: DIIPRRT 15H TRIP +26 366
#note Somehow spaced on DRIPT, I need the points and extra draws at the S. #findinglarge
>Joshua: AEEGLSY 6D Y.. +10 425
#note just being safe.
>Will: AADIJRT 9B A.T +6 372
#note Blocks SNAGGLE, sets up my J with case hooks for AFT; I'm obviously cooked at this point but at least AFT is by far best.
>Joshua: AEEGLNS 8A EL +8 433
>Will: ADGIJR O7 JAR +32 404
>Joshua: AEGNS 4A GEANS +25 458
>Joshua: (DGI) +10 468
