#player1 AS Austin Shin
#player2 JJB John J. Bulten
>AS: EHINOSU 8D HEINOUS +78 78
#note ~1:00 [~24:00]
>JJB: LMMQRUW F6 QU.M +35 35
#note ~2:30 [~22:30]
>AS: HU 9H UH +20 98
#note ~1:00 [~23:00]
>JJB: ADLMRWX J3 DRAWL. +18 53
#note ~0:30 [~22:00] JJB didn't know dwalm# 22 (1.6 diff).
>AS: EEINRST 10A TRENISE +79 177
#note ~1:00 [~22:00] The Collins bingo is the best here.
>JJB: ?EMNNRX A10 .aXMEN +66 119
#note ~1:00 [~21:00] JJB is not too worried given his ability to rebound with these otherwise disappointing racks.
>AS: ?ADILOV 4G OVe.LAID +80 257
#note ~1:30 [~20:30] Missing nonvalid 95, but setting up fireworks.
>JJB: AINORST 3A AROINTS +69 188
#note ~1:03 [19:57] No particular reason JJB should prefer this over rations ....
>AS: ABDEOOT 2A TABOOED +96 353
#note ~0:40 [~19:50] In record time, AS calmly plays a pelican bingo immediately above opponent's previous bingo: a 7-overlap. Tabooed/ta/ar/bo/oi/on/et/dso#. JJB is stunned, but not so much as to miss a good play on his own rack. What's more: if there had been a play at 1h such as us, graph(s), or meter(s), it would have allowed the theoretical possibility of isomerous, evaporograph(s)#, or evaporometer(s)#, although all are precluded by the tiles already played. (Potential 6-overlaps at b1 for JJB's rack are capitol, copepod, copilot, copyboy, lobolos#, and topknot.) Memorable find.
>JJB: AEIIOTV N2 IO.ATIVE +78 266
#note 1:13 [18:44] With all the fireworks, JJB can only think he has a bingo on his rack too, plunking down iodative* 78 without a moment's consultation of the 5-voweled 8s. AS likes the play too. JJB could be happy he has averaged 53 for 5 turns; this turn nets him 51.5 chutzpah points ahead of evo 1a 38.
>AS: IJY 8L JI.Y +75 428
#note ~2:00 [17:50] A major reason AS likes the play is this 75-point response. Challenging is probably still better, but then he would not have a 71 average for 6 turns.
>JJB: CELNNSY L8 .ENNY +30 296
#note 2:14 [16:30] JJB is too shell-shocked to get the hotspot at 4a (yens 46, stayne# 39). His choice is 7.2 behind.
>AS: EFIO K2 FO.IE +28 456
#note 1:04 [16:46] AS admits he missed the (o)dso# hook, but play is otherwise sound.
>JJB: ACLPRST L3 C.RT +21 317
#note 5:07 [11:23] Quackle does not like ALPS (only +12.1) when ACRST is available (+21.4, pol 3m 18, diff of 6.3).
>AS: AEKW 4A WEAK +62 518
#note 0:15 [16:31] Sixth score over 60, out of eight, and plenty of clock time.
>JJB: AAFGLPS 11J FA.GA +18 335
#note 2:20 [4:44] Here the vowels could be kept with gif 7m 22 (3.8 better).
>AS: CEIR 12A .ERIC +28 546
#note 1:10 [15:21]
>JJB: ABELPSU O11 SPALE +40 375
#note 2:20 [4:44] Not too concerned about emptying the bag, JJB narrows spread a bit with spale 40 (also spaul#/spule#/speal#). He would play burpees 33 if he could only get away with ap*. Quackle's preferred fish is gup# m11 17 (by 19.1).
>AS: EGLOPRT C9 R.G.ET +16 562
#note 5:11 [10:10] Ever in command, AS works out a decent out in two: regret 16 (blocking bedrug and ze#), which should lead to biz 14, pol 25+10, net of 37. The missed calculations are minor: he can get more points with gorp/golp# 30, bedrug 26, gelt/gert# 15+20, net of 39. Happy Hanukkah.
>JJB: BDGUZ 2M Z.G +13 388
#note 3:53 [0:51] JJB needs only spot biz 14, but gets 1 point behind it.
>AS: LOP M11 .OLP +19 581
#note 0:21 [9:49] Still not seeing odso#, AS plays for 6 less than pol 25.
>AS: (BDU) +12 593
#note While some high scores turned over very fast, AS's were faster, including six bingos or equivalents. JJB only got ten turns and made few errors, but occasional games have extreme favor for one player. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 1, AS 21. Points improvable based on values: JJB 39.0.
