>Tarkovsky7: AAGMOUY 8E YUGA +16 16
#note This game seemed interesting as it was played; let's see if that holds up upon the analysis. (an ISC game with 10 minutes per side). I didn't get permission from my opponent to use his actual name, so he will be anonymous here.
Somehow I missed gamay completely here, but my play does just as well
>NaspaExpert: BNRTTTU E4 BUTT. +20 20
>Tarkovsky7: AMNOPRT D3 PAM +26 42
#note With an O as part of the leave this play was a no-brainer.
>NaspaExpert: F -F +0 20
#note ex 1. (this was not his rack. Wordbiz gives the incorrect rack on exchanges)
>Tarkovsky7: AENORRT C2 ROTE +26 68
#note During the game, my play here seemed wrong mostly because it wasn't clear 26 points justified playing off those tiles. I was correct in thinking this play was wrong, but it was because I should have played rota instead, keeping the e vs the a. Duh- rookie mistake
-3.8
>NaspaExpert: DEINORT H8 .ROINTED +80 100
>Tarkovsky7: AADNQRV 11E QAD. +28 96
>NaspaExpert: EEGOSSU G5 GOU.E +12 112
#note His play is clearly a very good play, but Q slightly prefers I11 SUE, scoring 8 more points. This is just a matter of style.
-1.0
>Tarkovsky7: AFINRUV F10 V.U +14 110
#note This is a major blunder, missing H1 UNFAIR and other plays that are better than mine.
-14.5
>NaspaExpert: AAEGSSW 15A ASSWAGE. +101 213
#note Nice bingo.
>Tarkovsky7: AEFINRS C8 FAIRNES. +74 184
#note Luckily I have this comeback.
>NaspaExpert: AENOORW D12 OW +19 232
#note Oops...he missed the W hook on rote(I think I woulda too). Q like ROWEN AND REWON up there.
After he played off only two tiles there is a good chance he is pretty close to a bingo, tho being down, there is not much I could do besides hoping I bingo before he does.
-13.1
>Tarkovsky7: HILORSV B13 HO. +25 209
#note Holding the case S(tho there are 2 unseen ?), I decided to make this play, setting up my ess hook, thinking if he has the blank he will be reluctant to burn it here if he can't score 50+. Q doesn't like this play too much as it comes in 4th. It like B6 VIOL here, tho it is not clear to me that is better.
-9.5
>NaspaExpert: AEINNOR 14A N.. +5 237
#note Wow! Q likes B9 NO here, probably cuz there are only two other A's left that are not on his rack. It's very hard to make a play like that, and it is very hard to tease that out in a short amount of time. His play which blocks my S setup, something Q isn't intuiting, and undoubles his Ns makes a lot of sense, and might be correct.
-13.8(for what it's worth, which ain't much)
>Tarkovsky7: ILLNRSV B7 VILL +20 229
>NaspaExpert: ACEINOR H1 ORCEIN +32 269
>Tarkovsky7: EELNRSX I6 EX +20 249
#note I played this to not get in the way of the open lines since I have a nice leave. I think that is right. Perhaps I should have considered I8 SEX for 33.
-4.9
>NaspaExpert: ADEORTT A8 DA +33 302
>Tarkovsky7: CEKLNRS 14G N.CK +22 271
>NaspaExpert: EIIORTT 2F TO.II +9 311
#note Q like 3H COTTIER slightly better, but with both blanks still unseen and his knowledge of me making that S setup earlier makes me think he did the right thing.
-3.7
>Tarkovsky7: EELPRSZ B1 ZEP +39 310
#note Somehow missed 1J PREZES, which is slightly better. This was a pretty lucky draw for me as it allowed me to score enough to pull even and keep a bingo prone rack. I still probably would have played ZEP had I noticed PREZES.
-3.3
>NaspaExpert: ?AAEFRT 10H .AF +14 325
#note In game I thought this was a bad play because if I bingo pluralizing OAF he is going to have a devil of time bingoing on the board. Whereas, if I bingo pluralizing neck, he likely would be able to bingo playing something hooking onto my bingo. The play Q likes second best is J3 FARE, which pretty much insures that we will both bingo before the game is through, which is probably the best he can hope for. (His play was 3rd best)
FWIW, Q like J10 FREA(K) for reasons that are completely opaque to me.

>Tarkovsky7: ?BELRSY K4 BaRLEYS +79 389
>NaspaExpert: ?ADEERT 12H .ATtERED +70 395
#note HEH...So much for him not bingoing if I bingo pluralizing OAF.
>Tarkovsky7: IIIJMNO 8K .MOJI +51 440
#note Lucky enough to get the better post bingo draw.
