#player1 RF Ryan Fischer
#player2 JJB John J. Bulten
>RF: AADILRS 8B RADIALS +70 70
#note 0:21 [24:39]
>JJB: AAEIOSY 7B AYA +24 24
>JJB: AAEIOSY -- -24 0
#note 1:25 [23:35] JJB: Primary dumps are yea or aye 24 (diff 30.1), while best that holds the E is raya 15. JJB had another moment of flashing phony crosswordese into the Collins 3s and deeply regrets it.
>RF: CGJOOST 7C JOG +42 112
#note 0:24 [24:15]
>JJB: AAEIOSY 9C YAE +35 35
#note 0:27 [23:08] JJB: This time JJB takes the leave hint and gets it right.
>RF: CLOSTUV H5 LUV. +7 119
#note 1:06 [23:09] RF: I totally forgot that VOGIE compares! VO(GIE)ST# 2x2 for 44. This is okay, but opens a 2x2 which will hurt me. (L)UV is 2nd best. JJB: 22.6 diff, but opponent scores 30 less with given rack (airholes), and RF hopes to make it up on leave (COST and CLOST are 11.7). Logiest 32 also plays.
>JJB: AEHIORS 5D SHOA.IER +94 129
#note 0:33 [22:35]
>RF: ACEOPST 4A CAPO +26 145
#note 0:22 [19:47] RF: Wow, I can't believe I missed the place for TOECAPS. I probably stared at it for like 3 minutes. Forgot SCOPATE# too. And POST(R)ACE. -39.4. JJB: Also paco 4c 29.
>JJB: EEOOORT 7G E.OE +12 141
#note 1:48 [20:47] JB: Recommended is oo# 3c 15 for 6.2 more and even leave; also too 3b 19.
>RF: EEIRSTV 3D SIEVERT +68 213
#note 1:51 [17:56] RF: This placement does win the sim by a couple points, so I'm pleased with that. JJB: Alternates are stiever#/sievert 10e 69.
>JJB: HINOORT 2E OH +28 169
#note 1:42 [19:05] JJB: Beats torchon 36, trochi# 33, thoron 32.
>RF: CDEFILT 1F CLIFTED +103 316
>RF: DEIILUX (challenge) +5 321
#note 1:30 [16:26] RF: Was very satisfied to find this and be confident enough in it. Was going to just play LIFTED until I got the guts to put this down.
>JJB: FINORTU 2K FOUR +22 191
#note 2:14 [16:51] JJB: Challenge in 9 seconds; play is behind functor 36 (by 8.1), forint 35, ufo 2j 21, fricot 33. JJB compliments RF on 9 natural bingos in 3 games (and again at 10), and RF admits two here were drawn from the bag and JJB outdrew him significantly in 1 game. This later leads to RF speaking inspirationally about sportsmanship and improving leaves.
>RF: DEIILUX 8J XI +18 339
#note 3:08 [13:18] RF: Was really satisfied to play this. Champ and static don't really find it, and it doesn't sim decently, but in the long run, I think it's right. I considered DIXI#, forgot ULEX#, didn't consider DULCE. Considered IXI(A). This just felt better. Maybe I'm being too results oriented here, but I look ahead at all the other leaves, and the only one that compares is playing DUI for 12, leaving EILX. JJB: Ixia is 4 higher plus 3.9 more pretty well justified by static leave, and opponent response is not too significant compared to the bingo lines opened by xi. Dui gets the best leave but without the points.
>JJB: EGIMNNT A1 MIN.E +27 218
#note 0:51 [16:00] JJB: Keep I with men 3m 20 (1.7 diff), although exeming# 23 is worth knowing.
>RF: ADEILOU 10E DOULEIA +68 407
#note 0:31 [12:47] RF: Maybe a bit results oriented, but still. I'm not getting here if I play any of those other plays with their subpar leaves.
>JJB: GNQTUWW -GNQTUWW +0 218
#note 3:10 [12:50] JJB: Best is either trade GWW or play dowt 16 (both 5.9), but the game is going so surreally that JJB opts to try the so-far successful strategy of drawing bingos directly from the bag.
>RF: ABDEKMN H10 .AMBED +42 449
#note ~3:47 [~9:00] RF: Needed an E for EMBANKED. This is best static. Champ consideres (U)NBAKED, too.
>JJB: EGIORTZ 14H .RGOTIZE +94 312
#note 0:14 [12:36]
>RF: KNNSTTW O12 KN.W +48 497
#note ~0:42 [8:18] RF: Just got his junk, but was able to make something with it at least. JJB: Apparently it was the bag's junk, except for the N. Slight blowback was expected.
>JJB: ?ABNQUW 11K BAWN +26 338
#note 4:58 [7:38] JJB: Wab 13k 31 for an easy 5.2. The blank plays for squawk 42.
>RF: ?GINSTT O2 SiTTING +82 579
#note 0:27 [7:51] JJB: S?tting up the 600 game.
>JJB: ?ANQRTU N6 QUA +69 407
#note 4:57 [2:41] JJB: Misscored 68 as 69. Since it's impossible to block pyne# and pyned#, play squat 70 for 4 more net.
>RF: ENPY 13K YEP +31 610
#note 0:40 [7:11] RF: I didn't know PYNE#. 35 and out! JJB: 20 diff.
>JJB: ?NRT 15D TReN. +6 413
#note 1:45 [0:56] RF: Champ says forgo going out to play To(W) and the like for 20. JJB: Surprisingly, the 20-point plays net 2 better.
>JJB: (N) +2 415
#note JJB: Reported 610-415, corrected 610-414. Compare previous game, 250-416. Large number of optimal and near-optimal plays. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 6, RF 24. Points improvable based on values: JJB 63.2, RF 90.9.
