#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 JC Joanne Cohen
>JJB: ACHIORU 8D CHAIR +26 26
#note 3:14 [21:46] Nettled that he can't remember for sure that there are no eights (there aren't), JJB throws down a beginner play, rated 13.9 behind. Houri 24 should have been obvious but did not materialize.
>JC: ACFU E7 C.UFA +26 26
#note 2:13 [22:47] Sharp response.
>JJB: ?HIIOUX H5 HOU.I +8 34
#note 3:00 [18:46] Houri is again best, but is only worth 8 by the time JJB catches it!
>JC: EIQR 7G Q.IRE +46 72
#note 0:48 [21:59] JJB has also created an unwitting power opening for a U-less Q.
>JJB: ?AINRUX D11 AUXIN +28 62
#note 4:04 [14:42] JJB finds the best X play by the skin of his teeth and at significant time cost.
>JC: DEMOP 8K MOPED +37 109
#note 0:41 [21:18] Excellent, but mope c12 44 is probably stronger.
>JJB: ?FIORTY 5D FROT.IlY +114 176
#note 0:58 [13:44]
>JC: WW F4 W.W +17 126
#note 0:47 [20:31]
>JJB: BDILPTT 15A BLI.D +24 200
#note 1:06 [12:38] Next order of business: efficient shutting down of bingo lanes.
>JC: ?DENRRS I9 DaRNERS +65 191
#note 4:05 [16:26] Never mind shutdowns, JC has bingos in three columns, the best of which is adorners/quired 82.
>JJB: AEEPTTT 13C E.PAT +30 230
#note 3:16 [9:22] JJB's rack and clock start to suffer as he holds JC's bingo, proforma. Septate 15i gets the same score and improves leave by .7.
>JC: JU 15G JU. +30 221
#note 0:26 [16:00]
>JJB: EGLOSTT F12 T.G +8 238
#note 2:03 [7:19] Good but inefficient calculation, with leave of +19.5. The directed hook go 4c 16 might be useful, ranking 2.0 ahead despite leave.
>JC: AGIV 4A VAGI +34 255
#note 0:32 [15:28] Seizing the lead and threatening more.
>JJB: EELOSTT A4 .OLTE +24 262
#note 1:59 [5:20] JJB is running out of time for bingo calculations but finds best overall play.
>JC: ABEK 3B BAKE +40 295
#note 1:04 [14:24] Another straightforward cash score and more pressure.
>JJB: EEEORST 10E .EE +8 270
#note 1:08 [4:12] JJB's big omission. He hasn't looked at stereo recently and, while looking through its plays, totally neglects the simple -ed for 80 (45.7 diff). The fish is reasonable, but EERST is better so oe b6 10 rates 3.1 ahead. Necessary to get the jump rather than fish because JC is about to fish too.
>JC: AA B6 AA +10 305
#note 1:41 [12:43] Better is aa 2a 14.
>JJB: ENORSST N2 ESTRON.S +70 340
#note 0:48 [3:24] JJB hastily declines to open row 15 and opens all of rows 1-3 instead. JC is holding goopiest and also threatens goo(s)iest, and JJB unknowingly selects a bingo that allows a counter. Posterns m8 72 is safe enough and did not come to mind; estrones n8 70 is a great block; better block the bingo than the triple!
>JC: EGIOOST 3H GOOSIE.T +70 375
#note 1:04 [11:39] Read 'em and weep.
>JJB: AILLNOV L1 VA.L +22 362
#note 1:22 [2:02] JJB has a system that will get him familiar with words like pavillon 81 very soon (53.8 diff; followup of zein 46, yo 13+14 wins by 27), so he should take the long-term approach and relax. But being that close to saving the game, recognizing the possibility, and not even guessing the arrangement is disappointing. He also forgot the O hook viol/oestrones 42 (probably better than avion 45).
>JC: DEEMNNZ L7 D.ZEN +31 406
#note 2:10 [9:29] JC gets to use the hook after all, but allows JJB to go out, netting -1. Penmen m8 25 threatens two outs, but limn 11k 12 blocks both, leading to zag c2 13, oy 1n 24+4, net of -2. Better to go in reverse and start with adz 10i 16, requiring a block of penmen, such as pony 13, eme 17, li/ylem 11+4, net of 5 (the cute response eponym doesn't help).
>JJB: ILNOY K10 NOILY +22 384
#note 1:05.2 [0:56.8] JC challenges, proforma, and it is not immediately clear that JJB has not gone over because the clock shifts displays with one minute remaining. However, her bingo was enough to hold against most everything but pavillon. A few plays win 1/8 of the time in simulation, but might be blockable.
>JJB: (EMN) +10 394
#note Tightly fought, but JJB makes two bingo knowledge mistakes that made a big difference. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 2, JC 27. Points improvable based on values: JJB 118.1.
