#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 NL Noel Livermore
>JJB: GIOOQSV H7 QI +22 22
#note 1:08 [23:52] Trading to S is only .7 behind, and vog 14 is 1.1 behind.
>NL: AEEILPT G8 PILEATE +65 65
#note 0:39 [24:21] NL again comes out shooting.
>JJB: GINOOSV 15F ISOGON +31 53
>JJB: GINOOSV -- -31 22
#note 3:05 [20:47] JJB falls for a false hook he had previously studied against. Best dump is voe 11e 12, with GINOS having a leave value of 19.3.
>NL: ETTX H12 TEXT +50 115
#note 1:51 [22:30]
>JJB: GINOOSV I6 VIG +26 48
#note 1:17 [19:30] JJB neglects voe and vex 21 (7.7 better), and again opts for the points over the leave.
>NL: EOT I13 TOE +20 135
#note 2:12 [20:18] NL overlaps well in turn.
>JJB: AENOOST J14 NA +20 68
#note 1:37 [17:53] JJB could take points (oaten j10 26 with OS) or leave (oo# f11 7 with AENST, 6.9 better), but he selects a clunky version of both.
>NL: AIN 10G .AIN +6 141
#note 0:32 [19:46] NL also seems to spend some turns fishing, but, if so, ain/ani 9i 13 would yield 7 more.
>JJB: EOOSSTY 11I SOY +16 84
#note 3:31 [14:22] This mediocre selection pales behind oys# 19 as well as the leave of oosy# 18 in the same place, whereas oyes k11 26 was the best overall with 6.3 more static value. While JJB is attempting to consider leave he is often tempted by either points or simplicity of setup.
>NL: NRU 12J NUR +14 155
#note 1:02 [18:44] NL continues the simple parallel ladder.
>JJB: EFOOSTT F10 EFTS +28 112
#note 1:52 [12:30] This fine parallel play still evaluates behind its singular, eft 23, due to leave; better still is the double-double oftest m8 30, 7.9 above the given play. Honorable mention: toetoe# 12.
>NL: IR 11D RI.. +14 169
#note 3:02 [15:42] NL has been allowing creeping pressure on the score. While he is about to make killer plays, so is his opponent.
>JJB: ENOOSTW 6I .OW +11 123
#note 1:25 [11:05] JJB finds a sensible leave, only 4.8 behind woo 10b 16 and 1 behind row d11.
>NL: ENOZ 12A ZONE +50 219
#note 0:36 [15:06]
>JJB: DENOSTU B8 DUOT.NES +72 195
#note 1:06 [9:59] Having studied all American out- words, JJB easily spots the anagram of outdone. Unstowed# nets 2 additional.
>NL: ADE A12 .EDA +53 272
#note ~1:51 [~13:15] NL keeps more than a bingo ahead.
>JJB: AAGGIJR A4 JAGRA +72 267
#note 0:20 [9:39] JJB's bingo equivalent evens it up but does not take the lead. He has not studied jirga# for 1.1 better leave.
>NL: EFK 5J KEF +36 308
#note ~0:35 [~12:40] NL makes a parallel play that admits further capitalization.
>JJB: CEGHIIM 4K HEMIC +49 316
#note 0:38 [9:01] JJB knows the highest response, and an anagram also plays for 44.
>NL: DEEHRU O2 EU.HRED +39 347
#note ~1:10 [~11:30] NL finds a lovely triple that holds the lead for the moment.
>JJB: ABBGIIW 4A .IBB +30 346
#note 3:20 [5:41] JJB cannot bring himself to play jibba 42 for 2.3 better value but still keeps the score even enough to proceed.
>NL: OO 3C OO +16 363
#note ~2:30 [9:00] NL is forced to dump, with the cute repeated-word motif.
>JJB: ?AGIMUW 14G ....UMIA +34 380
#note 0:23 [5:18] JJB is shocked that a previously considered extension suddenly becomes available. Points and leave give a slight preference (2.4) to maw e3 37, but it's not as flashy.
>NL: DOSY 15L YODS +52 415
#note 1:52 [7:08] NL uses the moment to take a strong lead with both blanks unseen.
>JJB: ??AGPRW N13 W.. +7 387
#note ~2:48 [~2:30] JJB wants gapware* to exist but does not find warpage, gawpers 75, or wrappage# 78, so he fishes for 17.1 less value.
>NL: ILLV 2A VILL +24 439
#note 2:19 [4:49] NL cannot block all opponent bingos, albeit he might have been able to if a blank had remained in the bag. He makes the best play available without using an A, which may be the actual bagged tile.
>JJB: ??AGNPR 1D GRAPNel +89 476
>JJB: (challenge) +5 481
#note ~0:19 [2:11] Not alert to sparing e2 94 or other column E plays, JJB takes a simple out for 5 less (equivalent with a challenge).
>JJB: (ACLR) +12 493
#note Suspenseful game with many strong plays, won largely by double-blanking. Points improvable based on tiles played: NL 7, JJB 11. Points improvable based on values: JJB 63.5.
