#player1 Gunther Gunther
#player2 Alec Alec
>Gunther: EFHOUVW H7 HOWF +26 26
#note Gunther provided his racks!
>Alec: DDELNST 11D DELTS +26 26
#note This has the best equity, but WOW Quackle hates this, favoring 8H ODD for 5 with 11D TENDS close behind. I have no idea why.
>Gunther: DENNRUV E5 UNNERV.D +74 100
>Alec: ?DEINNR I2 INuRNED +68 94
#note I didn't check every possibility for the blank, which is a shame because I3 NaRDINE scores 74 points (and I prefer gRINNED over INuRNED as well). 8B INtERNODE is awesome. #findingmedium
>Gunther: ABCMOQR 8A BRAC. +36 136
#note Gunther chickened out of 8A COMBER.
>Alec: AEIOORU 12B URE.IA +24 118
#note This has the best equity, but Quackle prefers ROADIE; I have no idea why.
>Gunther: EIMOPQ B10 EQ.IP +36 172
#note Gunther forgot this rack; I think his seventh tile was an F.
>Alec: ABIOOSX H1 OXO +41 159
#note I played A13 BOX and took it back, revealing a B. OXO not only has the best equity but keeps 15A ISBA.
>Gunther: FGIMORT A13 MOG +26 198
#note I misadded the score, giving Gunther two extra points--which are very significant.
>Alec: AABEIST G8 BA +17 176
#note I wasn't sure what to do here, but I should have seen 13G BAA. 9A AE is best, with BAA a close second. #findingmedium and #scoringlarge for the miscount
>Gunther: EFILPRT 2F FI..T +25 223
>Alec: AEISSTT 5G ST.IATES +66 242
>Gunther: EEILPRT 13G REPTILE +80 303
#note Quackle correctly guessed Gunther's rack! He missed PERLITE.
>Alec: ?EEEHYZ J7 HEEZE +53 295
#note There is a lot of cool plays here: this, 9A YEH, B2 wHEEZER, J8 YEZ, N2 YEESH. HEEZE has best equity, but Quackle picks 9A YEH (which I found postmortem). YEH sacrifices only six points while keeping ?EEZ--a very strong leave especially considering the shortage of unseen E's. #strategymedium
>Gunther: ADIKNOR 1J INROAD +26 329
>Alec: ?INOTVY M4 V.NOsITY +65 360
>Gunther: AAAKOSU 4K KA.A +34 363
>Alec: ACILLOY L11 AL.Y +19 379
#note This leaves one in the bag and sets up the L at 15L (for example 15L LOCI). Naturally Quackle is untrustworthy here, strongly preferring ALLOY and not giving L11 ALLY the credit I'd expect.
>Gunther: AEGJOSU L7 JUG +26 389
>Alec: CILMOUW C7 M.W +15 394
#note I have three wins, but they all involve WILCO, which I did not see. The best play is D4 UM, threatening WILCO in three spots and outrunning 9A OES with 3A WILCO. MAW ties. But remember the scoring error, two points in favor of Gunther: This game was counted as a loss for me because of that. I really should have recounted. #endgamesaddest (-6)
>Gunther: AEGOS N8 EGOS +24 413
#note Gunther saw only one of my outs, 1B OCULI! If he blocks that, I win!
>Alec: CILOU 15I OCULI +17 411
>Alec: (A) +2 413
#note I played this tournament too casually, and poorly as a result. I did not necessarily deserve a loss in this particular game, but I certainly deserved to lose rating points.
