>Siri_Tillekeratne: EGHRU 8D HUGER +26 26
>Matthew_Larocque: EINNORU 7B NOUN +12 12
#note This was probably the most tired I had felt out of the whole stretch. Right away I see *NEURINO, and it wasn't until Siri made his play that I realized it wasn't a word (NEURINE, NEUTRINO). I then just dismissed the possibility of a seven in this rack. REUNION really isn't that hard to see. More coffee next time.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: IUUVV -IUUVV +0 26
>Matthew_Larocque: CDEIRRY 7G DECRY +23 35
#note I guess I didn't see YER in the same spot. Sim indicates that EICDR is a strong leave too, enough to sacrifice 10-12 points. Not sure I'd go for that.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: FOZ K4 FOZ. +38 64
>Matthew_Larocque: ?AEIILR 9G LAIrIER +67 102
#note I saw AIRLINES/R at B2 and didn't like them as much, but 4H AIRFIELD looks best for sure. I didn't know RAMILIE.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: NOTW 8L WONT +44 108
>Matthew_Larocque: CDEOSUV L1 COVED +41 143
>Siri_Tillekeratne: ABIS 1H BASI. +27 135
>Matthew_Larocque: EHLOSUV 2I EH +28 171
#note E5 VENULOUS 44!
>Siri_Tillekeratne: DEO 10E ODE +13 148
>Matthew_Larocque: LOSTUVY D10 LUV +17 188
#note ODE was so weird, especially instead of just playing DOE. I didn't know what Siri was up to. I had to try and hinder whatever kind of setup it was supposed to be.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: III -III +0 148
#note Hmm
>Matthew_Larocque: KNOQSTY K9 .NKY +22 210
#note I still can't see OK on occasion - 11C YUK 32.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: ?AAEGRS O1 SARGEAn. +80 228
#note Here it is, the moment of shame. I didn't hold, more so because I trusted Siri and his decades of experience on a word like this. But a few turns passed and it kind of hit me. The full word is spelled differently from how it sounds, unlike the short version SARGE.
>Matthew_Larocque: EOPQSTW 6A POW +19 229
#note Missed 11A TOQUE.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: OP N1 OP +18 246
>Matthew_Larocque: AEQSTUX 12H QUA.S +54 283
>Siri_Tillekeratne: ER 8A RE +9 255
>Matthew_Larocque: EFLTX 11C L.X +38 321
#note I didn't write the leave, but I kept the F because it seemed unlikely for the hook to get blocked, and the board was getting low on hotspots. It's probably not worth losing 8 points.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: AIM N5 AMI. +25 280
>Matthew_Larocque: DEEFNTT B10 EFT +22 343
#note I went conservative to protect my lead. 7M FIN/FOR leads. I guess because I can keep fishing for RETINTED/RATTENED.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: AIJS A12 AJIS +39 319
>Matthew_Larocque: ADEINNT H12 .ADI +42 385
>Siri_Tillekeratne: BIL A3 BLI. +9 328
>Matthew_Larocque: EIMNNTT G13 MET +20 405
#note I wanted to play 5C TINMEN but figured this was the right thing to do. Sim says 5A INTIME scores enough to outrun, or to drop my M at I13.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: AEGIORT 5C TRIAGE +20 348
>Matthew_Larocque: EINNTT 14C TINN.. +9 414
#note No time left. 3A BITTEN.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: O 6M O.. +5 353
#note The other OMA is 7.
>Siri_Tillekeratne: (ET) +4 357
