#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 WH Wendell Haynes
>JJB: BENORSW 8D BROWN +26 26
#note 1:26 [23:34] Bowne# 26 and bow 16 rate up to 2.1 higher.
>WH: ADEFM E7 F.AMED +24 24
#note 2:22 [22:38] Susceptible to extension.
>JJB: CEEOORS E5 RE...... +28 54
#note 1:17 [22:17] JJB has not gotten to emocores 66 on the study list yet! His extension is 35.2 behind, with a barely positive leave. The simple cooed 12a 22 is several points ahead, the best non-bingo, and next best is foe 15, which JJB turns down.
>WH: RZ 6D R.Z +32 56
#note 0:40 [21:58]
>JJB: CEEOORS 7E .OE +29 83
#note 0:22 [21:55] JJB draws the identical tiles and has a second chance to play emocores! He finds the best non-bingo this time (17.5 behind). JJB overscores by 4.
>WH: DOU F10 UDO +18 74
#note 2:03 [19:55] 3 better at d10.
>JJB: ACEOQRS -Q +0 83
#note 0:51 [21:04] JJB has had enough of crazy racks (WH just blocked qorma#), and he makes the correct exchanging decision; leave worth +27.5, while ACERS is worth +26.7 and CEORS +23.5, and arco/acro d12 22 rate only at 20.9.
>WH: AEU 9G EAU +14 88
#note 1:10 [18:45] WH is keeping even with the Z and the skin of his teeth.
>JJB: ACEEORS D8 .AE +12 95
#note 2:08 [18:56] Something does not click about acerose/eaus# 67, so it does not go down, and the best non-bingo does, for 31.5 less value.
>WH: ?ABEIRT C1 REBAITs +79 167
#note 2:13 [16:32] WH plays it safe again, while several bingos give him 2 points more: ?ibrate (FLV), ebriate#, ratbite#/bitrate/biretta.
>JJB: CENORST 12A CREO..NTS +82 177
#note 0:29 [18:27] After all his misses, JJB is proud of having studied the best play here!
>WH: EILLMST 10I MILLETS +67 234
#note 2:10 [14:22] WH bingos back-to-back, and so both players have more work to do still. Mellites# is worth 74.
>JJB: DHHILNN O6 HIND. +27 204
#note 1:52 [16:35]
>WH: ANTV N5 VAT +17 251
#note 2:08 [12:14] WH declines van 4b 12 for an apparent improvement.
>JJB: AGHLNVW D2 HAW +37 241
#note 1:54 [14:41] JJB just needs to remember chav# 36 for 3.8 better value.
>WH: AKNTU A8 UNTA.K +36 287
>WH: AILO (challenge) +5 292
#note 0:40 [11:34] Also kurta 1a 41, b10 38.
>JJB: DGILNTV M9 D.LVING +28 269
#note 2:16 [12:25] Better: veldt 26, by 3.1. Devling# is the anagram. JJB spent two minutes holding before an unsuccessful challenge. Untacked and untackle# are viable.
>WH: AILO 15K LO.IA +21 313
#note 1:36 [9:58] Walking right into the opening.
>JJB: ?EGOORT H12 .ROG +15 284
#note 4:34 [7:51] This missed bingo is rootage 14e 65, 19.3 ahead. JJB's play is also 15.4 behind roto b2 33.
>WH: IY 12L I.Y +18 331
#note 0:28 [9:30] Worth considering: browny/yum 22.
>JJB: ?ACEIOT L3 pOETICA. +75 359
#note 2:38 [5:13] JJB thinks he has analyzed everything but misses the quadruple, teocalli 86. He also underscores by 2. But it's still enough to tilt the game.
>WH: EPY K5 YEP +32 363
#note 1:07 [8:23] Resistance to playing a power tile and to keeping vowel balance must be manifesting here, though at least one is in the bag.
>JJB: EEGINOU 13H .OUE +8 367
#note 3:07 [2:06] Roue/ko# snags 6 more points and keeps the leave that JJB hopes to mesh with whatever the worst tile is.
>WH: FIJPQSX M2 QI +24 387
#note 0:35 [7:48] WH has, however, left an S in the bag for JJB. He must now balance score and leave, and elects qi 24 (singe 25+48, net of -49). Scoring with fix 37, singe 25+44, has net of -32.
>JJB: EGINS 14A SINGE +25 392
#note 0:31 [1:35]
>JJB: (FJPSX) +48 440
#note JJB's late bingo took the lead just when WH drew an excessively heavy end rack. JJB missed several bingo opportunities, though, and could have played for many more points. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 15, WH 29. Points improvable based on values: JJB 127.5.
