#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 LW Laura Wolfson
>JJB: AEEIRSW 8D WEARIES +76 76
#note ~0:25 [~24:35] JJB warns LW that he is loaded for bear after three consecutive losses today. As he has before, he underscores the bingo by 2.
>LW: QU J8 .UQ +32 32
#note 1:35 [23:25]
>JJB: DIINRTT K9 TINT +21 97
#note ~1:34 [23:01] Remember the hook! Nitrid/weariest k6 38 (14.3 evaluation difference). Later JJB works out trin# 32, the second best. He overdrew and lost S out of RST, so that also makes a difference.
>LW: AANO L9 ANOA +29 61
#note 0:50 [22:35] LW finds a great spot for her dump.
>JJB: DDDEIIR E4 RIDD.D +18 115
#note 1:17 [21:44] EI is not that clever a leave when you have did m11 17 (14.5 diff), widdie 22, and diddier# 20 (no bingo).
>LW: HIU M11 HUI +21 82
#note 0:32 [22:03]
>JJB: EEIJPRU D1 JURE +42 157
#note JJB thinks this is a scenario where a middling letter helps the leave: it isn't, with jupe rating 8.0 better.
>LW: INOW F2 WINO +20 102
#note 1:20 [20:43] LW is racking up the parallels.
>JJB: ACCEEIP D8 .ICCA +27 184
#note 0:56 [19:23] JJB spots neither ipecac/icecap on his rack nor the huia#/huic hook to score 43 for them (19.3 diff). His spot is less interesting and has negative leave.
>LW: BOUZ C12 ZOBU +41 143
#note 0:56 [19:47] LW fights to stay afloat.
>JJB: EEGHLNP 15A PL.NGE +30 214
#note 1:51 [17:32] JJB needs only the singular/plural leugh(en)# 15a for 33/39 (up to 6.3 diff).
>LW: DEKOO 11D .OOKED +26 169
#note 0:47 [19:00]
>JJB: EGHILNR H11 .HING +39 253
#note 3:04 [14:28] JJB constructs herling# but does not find it worth risking, even though it would cement a lead. Ehing# is second, 39.1 behind.
>LW: AEEFIOR 1A RIO.A +36 205
#note 0:21 [18:39] LW is proud of seeing foedarie#, but to no avail. She makes the second-best play (where forwearies# 48 is rated 1.1 ahead).
>JJB: EILORTY 10F YO +32 285
#note 1:04 [13:24] JJB commits another miss, gyrolite# 89, playing the second-best at 44.2 behind.
>LW: EEF 2B FE. +24 229
#note 0:14 [18:25] Fen/fe 27 takes the points.
>JJB: EILLRTV 13G V.LL +12 297
#note 0:50 [12:34] Quackle prefers vild# 6b 16 by 3.2 despite inferior leave.
>LW: ?AEEELS M3 LEAsEES +71 300
#note 0:46 [17:39] JJB could've taken the 5-point risk and had this challenged off, which would put it 39.5 behind healees# 71; but he thinks of releasee (which plays for 59) and says no more. LW takes the lead back, but a blank and many bingo tiles remain unseen.
>JJB: EEIRSTT C4 TE +6 303
#note 3:04 [9:30] JJB's search does not reveal grisette 80 (45.3 diff), restiest# 61, or even retitles 59. He opts to open another line rather than take the closer et g2 11 or the opener tec 10b 7.
>LW: AGMP L2 GAMP +32 332
#note 0:33 [17:06] LW is happy to surge.
>JJB: AEIRSTV 5L ..V +8 311
#note 0:45 [8:45] Now it's JJB's turn to miss a satire bingo: raviest/taivers# b5 66. More to the point, vastier, which he was in fact trying to play, gets a 6-overlap at n2 for 94 (54.6 diff)! Never rule these parallels out. His dump makes another opening, rather than vid 11 tightening up, but his misses are adding up.
>LW: ABF C7 FAB +35 367
#note ~2:06 [~15:00] LW pluralizes an adjective, pretty confident it's phony, but gets away with it because JJB does not want to endanger his bingo any further (he has missed them on 4 of the 5 previous turns).
>JJB: AEIRRST O2 ARTSIER +83 394
#note 0:27 [8:18] The technique of waiting on the bingo until it's painfully, embarrassingly obvious pulls JJB into the lead with 3 tiles to draw. Could've been much better.
>LW: NOSTTXY N13 OXY +28 395
#note ~4:04 [10:56] In fact, the blank was in the bag, or else LW might have bingoed out to win handily with a number of options, the best being gemstone 83+26. LW's optimal play is oxy 7g 39.
>JJB: ?EM 14C .EaM +27 421
#note 0:43 [7:35] JJB has time to work out one of his optimal plays (LW also opened up emyd/emys#).
>JJB: (NSTT) +8 429
#note LW's phonies are overshadowed by JJB's missed bingos; while he finds one to pull ahead in the end, his score does not reflect his opportunities. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 8, LW 14. Points improvable based on values: JJB 248.8.
