>Bill: CDDGMPW -DDGMPW +0 0
#note Dells Spells Southern Edition (WGPO) 2019 Game 6 vs. Aaron Bader. Yes, I saw CWM. No thanks.
>Aaron: Q -Q +0 0
#note Exchange 1, rack not known.
>Bill: CEERSUU -UU +0 0
>Aaron: ALV 8G LAV +12 12
>Bill: ?CEENRS J5 SCREENs +73 73
#note Blah, ASCENDER.
>Aaron: IQ 9F QI +15 27
>Bill: ?INSTTT 10E TIT +21 94
#note I didn't know ANTISTAT, which hits the triple. Missed TITRANTS. TANTRIST would be silly, but for the record I missed it as well.
>Aaron: AEILPRT 5F PILA.TER +70 97
>Bill: ?AAINST N5 STAmINA +71 165
#note 11B AgAINST for 82. Come ON, man, that's easy. Also TAIPANS, ATTAINS, AGITANS for 82 (but putting letters in the triple lane). I did see ENTASIA and ARTISAN for a few more points in column N but didn't want to put vowels next to the TWS. But I can just do STAmINA in row 6 for one fewer point and not give up a TWS at all. Really, really poor effort on a lot of the blank racks in this tournament.
>Aaron: EKY M9 KEY +33 130
>Bill: ADEERUW O7 WADER +52 217
>Aaron: EJNO 11C JEON +38 168
#note JO(KEY) for 50.
>Bill: EEIOOUW 12C OWE +34 251
>Aaron: CDLMU L1 CULM.D +28 196
>Bill: EIIOOOU K9 EUOI +14 265
#note The sim likes exchanging, but only by a little. My instinct in this type of situation is that, as long as I can get it down to a three vowel leave and stay a bingo ahead, the rack's got a good chance of balancing out and I should keep a tempo advantage if he gets a normal-scoring bingo.
>Aaron: BHO 13A HOB +40 236
>Bill: GIOOOSY 3I GOO.Y +22 287
>Bill: EINOSUX (challenge) +5 292
#note Funnily enough, missed H1 GOOILY for 33. Got an extra nickel for this at least.
>Aaron: ARZ 1L .ZAR +45 281
>Bill: EINOSUX 14A OXEN +58 350
>Aaron: ADRT 15C DART +24 305
>Bill: EGIOSTU 2I UG +17 367
#note I guess this is probably pretty nutty. Missed F4 UPGO, which blocks the two best lanes, and A12 THOU. In my defense I didn't think he would block row 15 if he had a good leave, so I didn't expect him to bingo this turn and was seeing if I could force my own bingo through to end the game. It seemed at the time like I might need to be proactive, like even if I see UPGO, if he still bingos on row 14 I could be in a tight spot, only down a little but with no scoring tiles and tough decisions to make. I'm still not sure what I think about this.
>Aaron: BFI 1G FIB +30 335
>Bill: EIILOST 14F IOLITES +65 432
>Aaron: DEV H12 VE.D +36 371
>Bill: AEGHNPR 15L HARP +48 480
#note -16 because he can block all my outs, though he was low on time.
>Aaron: AFIMNSU 4E FUM +16 387
#note 7G FA is best.
>Bill: EGN 3D NEG +15 495
#note I did see all the outs when I played HARP, including GANE/QIN/TITE, but I started doubting TITE a little bit.
