#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 DG Diana Grosman
>JJB: ABENOST -B +0 0
#note 0:59 [24:01] Top evaluations are bo 8g 33.2, beano 30.9, boa 8g 30.6; best trade rack is AENST 28.5, followed by BENOST 26.2 and ABNEST 24.6 of all things. This trade is 11.4 behind, at 21.8.
>DG: CHI 8G HIC +16 16
#note ~0:25 [~24:35]
>JJB: AENOSTY I8 .YAN +13 13
#note 1:46 [22:15] Best rankers are now yo 7f/9f 12, hoy g8 10, coy i8 9 because of their strong overlap potential. JJB's leaving himself a cyano hook is not nearly as useful, 11.4 behind; even cyano itself rates better.
>DG: AGIKNOS 12I SOAKING +88 104
#note ~0:37 [23:58] DG has no qualms opening a nonuple with this score.
>JJB: EOSTTUY J9 OY +31 44
#note 2:01 [19:14] JJB overdraws and loses M out of MTU. The second Y continues thwarting his bingos. However, in this case the correct dump commends itself.
>DG: ABF 7F FAB +19 123
#note 1:14 [22:44] Fa 13m 22 is close.
>JJB: EOPSTTU 6A OUTSTEP +78 122
#note 1:33 [17:41] JJB is happy to take the highest score and open another lane, even though it's not a double score. DG holds for 23 seconds.
>DG: ?EEGGRT - +0 123
#note 0:23 [22:21] DG challenges in one of JJB's expertise lists, rather than bingoing.
>JJB: AFOQVXZ 11K FOX +51 173
#note 2:19 [15:22] JJB does not know DG's bingo possibilities (gorgeted, and greeting twice), and is just working hard to get value for this power rack instead. Oxo a6 30 is nowhere near as good a block, so the correct choice is clear.
>DG: ?EEGGRT A5 G.GETtER +80 203
>DG: ?EEGGRT -- -80 123
#note 0:39 [21:42] DG does not spot gorgeted 77 and convinces herself that go-getter is not hyphenated instead.
>JJB: AAIMQVZ B6 .MIAQ +36 209
#note 1:05 [14:17] JJB challenges at 0:32 but neglects to look for a better play than the second-best. Zamias 54 is 5.5 ahead despite leave.
>DG: ?EEGGRT 8A G.G +15 138
#note 0:40 [21:02] Now out of bingos, at least the correct dump is clear. Exit 22 also rates closely.
>JJB: ADESTVZ O12 .AZE +42 251
#note 1:59 [12:18] JJB need not triple-whammy and create a bingo lane, though this is the best Z play. Instead use the S for the likes of staved 11b 37 (6.3 better) or das 13k 42.
>DG: ?EERRTU 15H RETURnE. +74 212
#note 0:51 [20:11] Only bingo.
>JJB: DOSTUVW D3 VOW. +20 271
#note 2:05 [10:13] JJB correctly guesses that vows outrates dow 5f 23, but misses the nice vodun 18 (although keeping a vowel is better).
>DG: J -4 +0 212
#note 3:02 [17:09] Rack unknown.
>JJB: DEENSTU M9 DE..E +30 301
#note 2:08 [8:05] JJB rejects unvested 80, preferring but also eschewing detunes*. Wud 25 is also worth 44.4, and tes 13k 39 is 41.7, while dexie's leave puts it at only 38.6.
>DG: EM E4 ME. +24 236
#note 1:44 [15:25]
>JJB: AAINSTU 10B .UA +12 313
#note 1:02 [7:03] Clear choice, retaining many hooks with A and I, and terminal vowel with or without S. At this rate, so what if opponent has an I also?
>DG: EIILNRT E9 LINTIER +77 313
#note 0:39 [14:46] Right choice out of quite a few, tying the game.
>JJB: AEILNST 2A TENAILS +79 392
#note 1:23 [5:40] Also best.
>DG: DLLOP 14A POLL.D +26 339
#note 1:16 [13:30]
>JJB: ADIORUV 1G AVOID +29 421
#note 1:44 [3:56] Probably not a time to play the highest-ranked play. Udo 1a 23 is safer with the S unseen.
>DG: CEHOT A11 CHO.T +48 387
>DG: CEHOT -- -48 339
#note 0:59 [12:31] DG convinces herself that JJB does not know which words don't take -t past tenses.
>JJB: AENRSUW L1 SUNWEAR +82 503
#note 0:56 [3:00] JJB challenges DG after 0:05, but then convinces himself of a phony as well, and underscores it by 1. DG is too shell-shocked to immediately challenge back. The correct bingo is unswear n4 71.
>DG: CEHOT A12 HO.E +39 378
#note 0:41 [11:50] With one tile remaining DG takes the play she should have used one turn back.
>JJB: BDEIINR 3I BRI.ED +24 527
#note 1:39 [1:21] Low on time, and two tiles too heavy on tracking, JJB believes DG cannot play off her blank and consonants and makes the almost-best score in that case, but netting -8 points. But column N is very strong: biner plays at n6 for 22 and also blocks opponent's only out, leading to 20 in response (6 choices; jo 22 nets equally), then id 18+8, a net of 28.
>DG: ?CJRT 5I ReJ.CT +28 406
#note 0:41 [11:09] DG surprises with this fine outplay.
>DG: (IN) +4 410
#note DG led by two bingos but only tied the score due to JJB's triple-whammy draw of power tiles; then JJB bingoed twice again anyway for what could have been correctly scored as 528-410. Vocabulary also hurt DG, but JJB gave up many endgame points. Points improvable based on tiles played: DG 0, JJB 36. Points improvable based on values: JJB 112.0.
