#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 RF Ryan Fischer
>JJB: CLORSTV H7 VOLT +14 14
#note 1:17 [23:43] JJB: Rates equally with volts 24.
>RF: AAAAEMT 7G A.A +8 8
#note 0:27 [24:33] RF: Champ recommends AA/(VOLT)A. JJB: That gains 2, but there seems nothing wrong with amate# and volta or volte (gains 4.8). Bonus if one knows ataata#.
>JJB: CCRRSST 7E CR...TS +12 26
#note 1:18 [22:25] JJB: Gleefully plays symmetrically, consonants around vowels.
>RF: AAAEFMT 11F FAA +14 22
#note 2:05 [22:28] RF: Sacrificed 5 points for defense.
>JJB: BCENORS K2 BRONC. +20 46
#note 4:33 [17:52] JJB: This is a fishy rack: ab i7/g7 8 for 40.6 value, rather than 30.4.
>RF: AEEEMOT L1 TEEM +28 50
#note 4:10 [18:18] RF: Key play, and I made the wrong decision. Considered fishing again with E(C)O. No D or S in tow, though. Champ says EME then ECO. I figured 28 points was too much to pass up despite the horrible leave, and I have an A. It did NOT pay off. JJB: Seems like morae 20 is a good harmony of points and leave (1.0 better rating), as it would take a lot of simulation to show AEOT beating EET.
>JJB: ?EHLQSS 12B SHeQELS +105 151
#note 0:36 [17:16] RF: I let him get away with a huge phony hook. I knew one of those did not take the S. JJB: Somehow the false notion arose that voltas* are coins but voltis# carry over their American invalidity. 21 points of temptation.
>RF: AALO C9 ALO.A +18 68
#note 0:59 [17:19] RF: Kind of distracted with how this game is turning out. Forgot leave. Trying to regroup.
>JJB: DEEGPRR 3I DE..R +16 167
#note 2:40 [14:36] RF: Yet another phony. JJB: WESPA apparently missed this one when they tried to add lots of comparatives of American adjectives. Many plays are up to 9.0 better, such as berg 14, repegs 22, regrede# 20.
>RF: EIIOOUU -IIOOUU +0 68
#note 0:14 [17:05] RF: And on this farm...
>JJB: EEGNPRR G5 GR.PE +16 183
#note 2:54 [11:42] JJB: Repegs still reigns by 2.3, and time is being wasted not realizing that.
>RF: EEHMOOW 1L .HEW +30 98
#note 0:58 [16:07] RF: Forgot HOW(BE). OW(C)HE is 26, too. Also plays is HE(G)EMO(N)! JJB: 8.2 diff.
>JJB: EFGNRTZ 2K ..EF +34 217
#note 2:00 [9:42]
>RF: EEMNOOT 6J E.O +11 109
#note 2:08 [13:59] RF: Now I have to make something happen. ON(C)OME# is good. I doubted it. JJB: 2.5 diff. It is a noun, so no oncame*.
>JJB: GNPRRTZ F11 ..Z +15 232
#note 1:51 [7:51] JJB: Looking for the spot for nertz (27, 26.1 diff) and it was (literally) invisible.
>RF: EIKMNOT I9 KON +33 142
#note 0:22 [13:37] RF: Gawtry tried MONKITE* on me like 12 years ago. I challenged it off, of course. I rematched him a few weeks ago in Charlottesville, and he remembered. But I'm resisting the urge to play phonies, especially in Collins, where I should be challenging more liberally. Especially for 105 points. DE(RE)R is a bit more forgivable. This is 3rd to KO and KIN. JJB: Very close: .3 diff.
>JJB: GGNPRRT 9B T.RP +6 238
#note 2:25 [5:26] JJB: That invisible E is now hiding pert 11 and something in column A is hiding prang 8 (6.4 better).
>RF: EEILMNT 10H ..M +11 153
#note 3:30 [10:07] RF: 4th. Pretty desperate. Should really just shut down and try to score. There are a jillion Is left, too. JJB: Mome 4j 19 leads by 8.7.
>JJB: GGIIINR 5E IG. +10 248
#note 1:09 [4:17] JJB: Just drew 3 Is together and short on time too; gi 8a 11 makes the correct drop for 1 point more.
>RF: EEILNTY 8A YE +17 170
#note 0:27 [9:40] RF: Champ agrees with my play. With the L in hand, that lane is really juicy, and could get me back in it. JJB: Reasonable; wye/beefy 22 has no opening virtue.
>JJB: GIINRUW 4A WRING +29 277
#note 0:49 [3:28] RF: But he easily extinguishes the threat. JJB: Strange. Wrung leaves somewhat better than wring, but gur# 10 (GIINRW) rates best, 3.4 ahead.
>RF: EEILNTU 13F .E +16 186
#note 4:20 [5:20] RF: (S)LUE is really desperate, but Champ likes it. I should say I'm Quackling this series of game with CSW15, as I haven't put the new Quackle on this computer yet. Probably should get around to doing that. It doesn't see (Z)E possibilities.
>JJB: BIINNUY K10 BUNNY +28 305
#note 0:16 [3:12] JJB: Going for the most poetic way to shut down, though II is dangerous and burin 18 and buy 24 rate up to 1.3 better.
>RF: EILNTTU 2C UNTITLE +62 248
>RF: EILNTTU -- -62 186
#note ~1:20 [~4:00] RF: Yeah, I give up. Dumb. JJB: Ut 3b 10 rates 29.1 better than passing, but ut l14 8 opens more. The old Monty Python word gilcup# 11 also ranks.
>JJB: ADDIIOX M6 DIOXID +31 336
#note 0:20 [2:52] JJB: Laura Wolfson came by afterward and complimented this hook.
>RF: EILNTTU 8L T.LU +15 201
#note ~0:30 [~3:30] JJB: Unlet and untent# 12j recapture the points (6.2 diff), but unit n9 22 gets rid of the I.
>JJB: ?AEIOUV B2 VI.EO +20 356
#note 0:33 [2:19] JJB: Naevi 34 by 12.1.
>RF: EIJNOTU 13I JU.TO +40 241
#note ~2:30 [~1:00]
>JJB: ?AADISU N10 DAISy +41 397
#note 0:32 [1:47] RF: N8 (L)IDARS 42.
>RF: AEIIIN 2F INIA +9 250
#note ~0:40 [~0:20] RF: AN(Y) is 21. JJB: 15 net diff because it blocks.
>JJB: AU L12 U.A +15 412
#note 0:46 [1:01] RF: Painful. All because of TEEM. Vowels kill. Oh and don't let your opponents play 105-point phony hooks. :)
>JJB: (EI) +4 416
#note JJB: Between missed points and missed phonies, RF had a little hope, but he made no complaints about his draws, and JJB's score is average. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 7, RF 27. Points improvable based on values: JJB 72.8, RF 85.8.
