>Matthew_Larocque: ADELPQT H7 QAT +24 24
#note After beating Juraj in round 1, I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this. I can win 2 in a row against pretty much ANYONE else lol.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: HMOO I8 HOMO +18 18
>Matthew_Larocque: CDELPUZ 11G CL.ZE +32 56
#note I didn't know PULED/DUPLE at H11, and didn't see DULCE. This encourages a closed board though, so maybe it's better for me in this situation.

>Matthew_Larocque: ?DILNNY H11 .INNY +27 145
#note Or LINDY, but I liked DL instead of LN.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: EX 14L EX.. +23 141
>Matthew_Larocque: ?DELORT 14B ReDOLE.T +70 215
#note Only bingo. I played it closer to the bottom just to give him a little less flexibility for eights, and I liked how the parallels would play out compared to the other placement.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: ADEIIRT O1 DIARETI. +90 231
#note I'm pretty sure I'm never in my life going to be able to distinguish these words. DIORITIC/DIURETIC/DIERETIC and countless other variations on those prefixes/suffixes. I let Juraj turn a nothing rack into 90 points.
>Matthew_Larocque: EEGINRU D11 GUI.E +16 231
#note Now I don't even have a clue what my goal is here. Turnover? Rack grooming? Grinding out a close win? Dropping the U at 13I leads the options, I guess because of REGAINED and probably other ones too.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: EGLN N2 GLEN +22 253
>Matthew_Larocque: EEHMRRT 15A MET.R +26 257
#note At least play RETEM, but I know REHEM and I was too obsessed with keeping one of HM for next turn.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: OPW E10 WOP +26 279
>Matthew_Larocque: ABEHRRV 4J BRAV.. +22 279
#note I didn't see/know BEHAVER, but I'm okay keeping the H for 13C.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: EIISSTW 9C WIS +19 298
>Matthew_Larocque: AEHIINR 5E HERNIA +22 301
#note I used up pretty much all my time here, which was at least 5-7 minutes. WIS could have meant a number of things. If I think he has the K, than IWIS plays don't do anything to help me. I wanted to avoid drawing into an unplayable rack next turn. Playing off AH could lead to that. In the end, HERNIA was a pure turnover play to try and get the J, K, blank, or the E for HERNIAE plays.
Champ gives me seemingly random results each time I ask.
I manually entered 5G INIA because I noticed it sets up a good H spot. Then I ran a long, many-plie simulation. 5G INIA actually wins, followed by 13G ANI and G10 ICH. Even then, my odds are probably 1 in 3 at best to win.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: ?EIJKST B6 JoKIEST +92 390
#note Or I can just miss out completely, the failure of all failures. I believe Juraj said he kept EIST and drew ?JK.
>Matthew_Larocque: AAADINU - +0 301
#note The 1% chance this was bad seemed like my best odds.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: AIUY 6J YA +29 419
>Matthew_Larocque: AAADINU 4E UNAI +17 318
#note NAIAD continues to be unfindable.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: IU 13H .U +6 425
>Matthew_Larocque: AAD C7 DA. +19 337
#note Scored as 17 because I didn't have but seconds left.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: I 12A I. +3 428
>Juraj_Pivovarov: (A) +2 430
