#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 HP Howard Pistol
>JJB: DEEIRSZ 8H RESIZED +104 104
#note 0:25 [24:35] JJB announces that he has gotten the tiles from the start.
>HP: ATX 9K TAX +48 48
#note 0:59 [24:01]
>JJB: AAIMNPT 7I MAP +24 128
#note 2:48 [21:47] JJB misses timpana 72/65 (up to 41.0 evaluation difference from his play) and does not recognize that keeping the P or especially the M adds synergy. Also for these tiles damp scores 26.
>HP: EFW 6H FEW +36 84
#note 1:01 [23:00] HP seizes the opening.
>JJB: AEIINNT N8 .IN +17 145
#note 0:56 [20:53] Best.
>HP: EGPRU 5D PURGE +21 105
#note 1:12 [21:48] Or 11k for 22.
>JJB: AAEEINT 11H TAENIAE +69 214
#note 0:44 [20:09]
>HP: HITW 10G WITH +35 140
#note 1:55 [19:53]
>JJB: AADKOOY 4A KAYO +40 254
#note 0:41 [19:28]
>HP: CIT A1 TIC. +30 170
#note 4:23 [15:30] HP probably has the blank here.
>JJB: ABDELOQ 3A .ABLED +43 297
#note 0:42 [18:46] With JJB already considering able 3b it's easy to take advantage of HP's time and then plunk down cable, adding the D almost as an afterthought. Albedo also plays for higher turnover.
>HP: ABO 9E OBA +12 182
#note 3:36 [11:54] HP declines boa 2e 16 in favor of a directed hook.
>JJB: DEHLNOQ 8A HOLED +33 330
#note 1:52 [16:54] Even more points are available with overlaps from honed 12j 42 (rating 7.5 higher).
>HP: ?EORRSU 1A .ROUsERS +74 256
#note 1:16 [10:38] 3 more points are available at 12d, where rouser takes A/G/T or allows courser, 77.
>JJB: AEINQSS 6B QIS +38 368
#note 0:16 [16:38] This welcome rack plays itself, and JJB still has control of time.
>HP: V -5 +0 256
#note 2:07 [8:31] Rack unknown.
>JJB: ACEILNS 12B INLACES +74 442
#note 0:25 [16:13] Hard to guess which of two lanes shuts down better; in this case HP was able to use the other lane with JJB's choice and not with the alternative.
>HP: DEIORTU 2H OUTRIDE +71 327
#note 1:17 [7:14] Underscored by 1.
>JJB: AFGLUVV L1 V.VA +28 470
#note 1:33 [14:40] Again JJB is blessed with an obvious choice.
>HP: ?JNO B10 JO.Ns +54 381
#note 2:26 [4:48] HP is putting pressure back on, despite the clock and bag situation.
>JJB: FGLMNUY E11 F.G +14 484
#note 11:02 [3:38] Needing to draw one tile and seeing that snootier is available to HP, JJB blocks that line rather than column O, which is correct because no bingo fits column O even though JJB neglected to note the R hook. He retains zayin/zanily for the next turn. He calculates that zanily 32, snootier 59+24, yields net -49 in 1/8 of cases, while fag 14, zanier 30, yields -16 in 5/8 of cases, with counterplay; effectively equal. In evaluation, fag rates 7.0 while mung 12j 31 gets the points (22.7 more) while taking the risk of the bingo, and my 1n 25 is the best column O block, but these options fade in simulation, where amyl 9 e12 is probably best because a powerful setup of flung 39; fay e11 18 holds a better leave also, mu 1n 16 is the best block, and, as JJB guessed, zanily 36 is competitive with fag 14.
>HP: EGINORT O1 TRIGO +33 414
#note 2:18 [2:30] Trigo is a better play than trigon, etc., because it allows strong responses to zanily, zayin, and mony 37 (where ne l13 nets 19), so HP's logic there is essentially sound. The only omission is that the simple overlaps noter/toner 12j 30 take points without allowing JJB's plays, to which lemony/melony 19, cig 13+2 will net 26 instead.
>JJB: LMNOUY L8 ..N.LY +36 520
#note 0:40 [2:58] JJB goes with his calculations without realizing mony 12j 37, ne 13l 19+4 will net 14, 2 better than zanily 36, en 14+10.
>HP: EN 2E EN +13 427
#note 0:24 [2:06] HP also goes with his own prior calculations, neglecting en m13 14 and miscounting en 2e as 13 instead of 12. His two math errors cancel out and the score is technically correct.
>HP: (MOU) +10 437
#note HP dials JJB's midgame lead of 186 back to 83 in the final, giving up only a few points of endgame. JJB successfully closes down the last bingo but plays risky otherwise. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 4, HP 17. Points improvable based on values: JJB 73.2.
