#player1 MKH Mary Kay Heckerman
#player2 JJB John J. Bulten
>MKH: AQT 8G QAT +24 24
#note ~0:30 [~24:30]
>JJB: AADGIOV 9F VIGA +28 28
#note ~1:15 [~23:45] Great rack save.
>MKH: AKO 10I OKA +20 44
#note ~0:45 [~23:45]
>JJB: AABBDGO 11J ABBA +30 58
#note ~0:15 [~23:30] Did not look like the best play but rates above 11k plays, gabba 26 and bab 24.
>MKH: LOO - +0 44
#note ~0:30 [~23:15] MKH is, like JJB, an Abba fan, but that is no reason to challenge!
>JJB: DEEGJOY M10 J.YGEE +34 92
#note ~2:00 [~21:30] Good turnover. Row 12 permits yogee 39, joey 37, eyed 42, edgy 37, ranking up to 4.9 higher static evaluation, mostly on points.
>MKH: LOO N8 LOO +16 60
#note ~1:45 [~21:30]
>JJB: DEIMOPU O7 MOPED +50 142
#note ~1:54 [19:36] Another nice play, but it ranks behind odeum 52, mudpie 50, and duomi 36, by up to 13.8, mostly on leave.
>MKH: DELNRRS 15H SLEND.R +30 90
#note ~1:15 [~20:15] Quackle likes the leave after rend 18 by 6.0 more.
>JJB: DDEIIUU 14F DUI +10 152
#note 2:13 [17:23] Good dump but .9 behind exchanging to DE.
>MKH: AERZ 13C RAZE +29 119
#note ~0:24 [19:51]
>JJB: DEEIIUX 14B DEX +33 185
#note 3:54 [13:29] As predictable, another bad rack. Misses eaux 38 (21.9 diff), declines ixia 22 and exed 34.
>MKH: EORT 15A ROTE +32 151
#note 0:46 [19:06] As predictable, MKH makes a strong rebound.
>JJB: EIIMRRU 12F MURRE +21 206
#note 2:02 [11:27] JJB sneaks a word in edgewise. Better on leave by 5.1 is mi 22.
>MKH: ?EHINTY 14J HI +28 179
#note 0:46 [18:19] MKH promptly seizes the spot. She excludes thinely* but does not see ethinyl, which doesn't play. Ye gets 3.0 better leave in that spot.
>JJB: AGIILOR L11 .OAR. +36 242
#note 1:28 [9:59] MKH had just commented how closed the board is, and JJB finds himself using her own word.
>MKH: ?ENTY 9K NE +7 186
#note 1:50 [16:29] MKH wants to open up now, although, with the blank, plays like hiree 14j 20 are better, seizing opportunities from the opponent.
>JJB: GIILTUU L5 GUIL. +7 249
#note 1:32 [8:27] The best non-exchange, but 4.1 below keeping ILT, and below many other trades.
>MKH: ?TY -3 +0 186
#note 0:57 [15:32] Probably keeping ENT?. Not necessarily time to trade, though.
>JJB: ?AIOSTU 6F cAUTIO.S +59 308
#note 0:58 [7:29] Another friendly 5-voweled 8 steals the spotlight. If JJB remembered to pluralize qat, he might've played utopias or agoutis for 14 more.
>MKH: ?EINNTT F4 TI. +2 188
#note 0:52 [14:40] Based on MKH's recollection of her rack, she just had bingos blocked like nettling and nettings. She opts to open a directed hook for low points. A better opener in this situation is neist m3 18, rating 16.2 ahead.
>JJB: CCIPSTW O13 WIS +45 353
#note 1:19 [6:10] JJB has been visualizing people slendering* for winter all game and has been waiting for the S. Too bad it's non-dictionary; it rates 17.3 better than wag/win 13k 13.
>MKH: ?EFNNT 5E F.N +14 202
#note 1:31 [13:09] MKH lets the play go figuring it won't matter much anyway. She keeps her hook intact, rather than playing neif 5d 19 and using the E.
>JJB: CCEFOPT 3C COPE +19 372
#note 2:49 [3:21] JJB draws the E and finds the hook unignorable, despite an all-consonant leave. Ectopic j1 19 is a pretty rack-clearer (8.1 ahead), but it would be susceptible to MKH's potential bingo.
>MKH: ?EINTVY I3 VEN. +11 213
#note 2:11 [10:58] MKH found naivety but it has just been blocked. She decides to open yet another hook even without continuing to hold the E. Quackle recommends vin g1 17, which may stay open a little while (7.6 diff).
>JJB: ACFNSTW J4 WA.FS +31 403
#note 0:32 [2:49] JJB lays down his play of waif and then adds S as an afterthought. If he wanted to bingo next turn he might prefer few 4h 13 or wag 13k 13, as Quackle does by up to 3.8; and in fact few 13 wins simulations handily, the only play not to lose points in many scenarios.
>MKH: ?HIILTY M3 THI. +17 230
#note 2:46 [8:12] MKH needs a setup like lyrist 24, cent 16, hi 14+2, net of 24; or hoy 18, tec 19, litai 21+4, net of 24. Her setup is not bad: this 17 leads to cent 16, syli 16+2, net of 19.
>JJB: CENNT 12A NET +8 411
#note 1:01 [1:48] JJB needs to play for most net points with tec 19, syli 16+4, net of -1; under pressure he plays the word net instead, net 8, kylin 21+8, net of -21.
>MKH: ?ILY C2 I.iLY +9 239
#note 0:20 [7:52] JJB has offered kylin/layin/lysin 21 but MKH grabs the first opportunity to present itself, icily 9.
>MKH: (CN) +8 247
#note MKH had few opportunities to score and was repeatedly blocked by JJB, who made several convincing plays besides his one bingo. Points improvable based on tiles played: MKH 17, JJB 34. Points improvable based on values: MKH 49.8+, JJB 96.6.
