#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 YMP Ying Ming Poh
>JJB: ?FIIPSS 8H IF +10 10
#note 1:23 [23:37] Better to dump the S with spif# 18 (by 8.3), sif#, ifs, or spifs#.
>YMP: AELOORS J4 AEROSOL +67 67
#note 1:10 [23:50]
>JJB: ?BEIPSS 5D BIcEPS.S +94 104
>JJB: DDDIRTT (challenge) +5 109
#note 0:49 [22:48] JJB is confident of winning the challenge but did not know the Shakespearean anagram bespices#. He also wins the high word prize for this session.
>YMP: BIOOT K9 OOBIT +18 85
>YMP: EFO (challenge) +5 90
#note 2:34 [21:16] YMP invites a challenge as well, which occurs after 20 seconds for good measure.
>JJB: DDDIRTT L12 DID +18 127
#note 1:05 [21:43] Ditt# l12 20 is better by 6.3; did also plays at l10 24.
>YMP: EFO 15K FOE +14 104
#note 3:58 [17:18] YMP elects the non-scoring block rather than, e.g., the 6b placement for 18.
>JJB: CDRTTTU L6 DUCT +13 140
#note 0:18 [21:25] JJB also misses a placement, g8 16.
>YMP: EKNR N12 KERN +23 127
#note 2:03 [15:15] YMP might prefer nek#/ide#/tik# m11 32.
>JJB: JNRTTUX 8L .RUX +39 179
#note 0:30 [20:53]
>YMP: RUY D3 RU.Y +18 145
#note ~2:05 [~13:10]
>JJB: CEHJNTT 6C T.THE +35 214
>JJB: ACEJNOP (challenge) +5 219
#note 0:30 [20:23] JJB plays well and is challenged again (in about 11 seconds).
>YMP: AAEMNU 3B MU.AENA +20 165
>YMP: AAHINW (challenge) +5 170
#note ~2:59 [10:11] Ditto for YMP (in 23 seconds).
>JJB: ACEJNOP N6 JA.P +29 248
#note 0:38 [19:45] Tempting score and good leave. Jeon/jean 2e 30 have poorer leaves.
>YMP: AAHINW O1 HANIWA +48 218
#note 2:08 [8:03] Also plays for 45!
>JJB: CDEGLNO 2A COG +23 271
#note 2:56 [16:49] A better parallel is clog n1 30 (up 6.8) and the like.
>YMP: IQ 3M QI. +24 242
#note 0:41 [7:22] Feeling time pressure.
>JJB: DEELLNR 2F DELL +20 291
#note 3:28 [13:21] JJB now has time to find the best play in row 2. Offhand, retiled plays for 18 through 3 tiles.
>YMP: EINORSV 9B RENVOIS +64 306
#note 1:36 [5:46] Renvois/rifs 69.
>JJB: EGLNRVZ N2 Z.G +51 342
#note 0:50 [12:31] Keeping even in score, even if another bingo occurs.
>YMP: AAEIMNT B7 MA.INATE +74 380
#note 1:22 [4:24]
>JJB: EELNORV 13K ..N. +8 350
#note ~5:31 [~7:00] Attempting one last bingo shot. Seizing points with novel 37, worth 24.1 more, takes the lead, but with any rack opponent has a big column A score. The best hope of winning is opening another triple line and drawing a blank or conducive tile, such as with el 14b 2, leading to words like overnet#.
>YMP: ?AEITWY A12 YAWn +55 435
#note 2:03 [2:21] YMP has the right outplay idea. If he chose yews 55, the followup is ita# f1 25 for 15 more.
>JJB: EEGLORV A5 GOEL +25 375
#note ~6:44 [0:16] JJB mistracks* and thinks YMP has no out, or else revel 37 would be indicated for 12 more. He sees evolver 26, which is 5 behind revel because it blocks an out, but he thinks it correct to set up over/vers#.
>YMP: EIT 1E TIE +10 445
#note 0:30 [1:51] Vite# e9 14.
>YMP: (ERV) +12 457
#note YMP's carefully selected vocabulary and endgame skills shine in this close game. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 21, YMP 28. Points improvable based on values: JJB 60.5.
