>Siddharth_Murali: IIIUU -IIIUU +0 0
>Mike: AEHIOTU 8D HAUTE +24 24
>Siddharth_Murali: ?AEEINS 9E ANISEEd +67 67
>Mike: EGINORT 8K INGOT +22 46
#note Quackle wants to fish aggressively with OH D7. Having never played Sid, I wasn't aware of how defensively he liked to play; had I known, I might have agreed with Quackle.
>Siddharth_Murali: AMU 7M AMU +16 83
#note (Misscored as 18.)
>Mike: EEGIQRR -EGIQR +0 46
#note Too hasty on the exchange trigger here; RIGIDER K5, setting up the Q for next turn, is fine.
>Siddharth_Murali: ABNRS 6I BRANS +13 96
#note (Misscored as 14.)
>Mike: EEILRYY J9 .YRIE +16 62
#note Plays centering on 7I (YER) or 5J (EYE) sim best, though now that I see just how defensive Sid wants to play, I'm not sure I like those ideas.
>Siddharth_Murali: AENRSTV 13G VET.RANS +82 178
>Mike: AEFLLVY H12 L.VY +33 95
>Siddharth_Murali: AHIK 12L HAIK +46 224
>Mike: AADDEFL J2 FADE. +17 112
#note Quackle seems to think that READD 11J (which I didn't see) is simply too many points. But how exactly am I coming back from that position? At some point, I just need to assume Sid's rack is bad and try to wedge open the board.
>Siddharth_Murali: EIOW 4J .OWIE +18 242
>Mike: AADILOR 5I A.RO +24 136
#note All of the options here are about 1.5% to win, so...yeah.
>Siddharth_Murali: BCNOU 15C BOUNC. +14 256
#note (Misscored as 15.)
>Mike: ADDIJLO D12 DOJ. +24 160
#note Hoping to use this to make a play on column C and wedge open that side of the board.
>Siddharth_Murali: QT 3I Q.T +26 282
>Mike: ADGILRX C10 AXIL +29 189
#note As planned. I don't care what the sim says. If he has the Z I'm dead anyway.
>Siddharth_Murali: FLL 10B F.LL +18 300
>Mike: ?DEGNRW N2 DR.W +16 205
#note Out of ideas at this point, though I should at least see DREW 11I. The only usable line at this point is line G, and this at least gives me a chance to hit it.
>Siddharth_Murali: DIM 14L DIM +32 332
>Mike: ?EEGINO 7C OE +8 213
#note I don't trust Quackle here. Nothing's likely to work, but this is what I'm going with.
>Siddharth_Murali: RTU B7 TUR. +10 342
>Mike: ?EGIINZ C3 GINZ. +30 243
#note At this point I've basically given up. But for once, it's my opponent making the endgame fail:
>Siddharth_Murali: EEOOPST O1 TOE +14 356
#note (He miscounted and didn't think my bingo fit. POSE D2, which he said was his plan for the next play anyway, needed to be played first.)
>Mike: ?CEEGIP 4A EP.GEnIC +82 325
#note (Final score recorded as 360-337.)
>Mike: (EOPS) +12 337
