>Trip: ADIORTU 8C AUDITOR +68 68
#note Worth losing the two points to avoid putting a vowel next to a DLS.
>Judy: AIMQ D8 .MIAQ +32 32
>Trip: EFLSTVZ 7A FEZ +46 114
>Judy: ACEHNRT E1 TRANCHE. +78 110
#note It took Judy a while to play this phony but I didn't even hold on it. I could have sworn TRANCHE was a verb, and I saw ANCHORET was available (for less) anyway. Also I have a decent follow-up.
>Trip: ILOPSTV 1A PIVO. +33 147
#note Hoping to beat Judy to ING, MAN, or MEN.
>Judy: ?DEGLNY 3B DEL.YiNG +78 188
>Trip: AEKLOST 10B KE.TLOAS +74 221
#note The better SKATOLE location, 13D, is worth 6 more points but just gives so much back at 12H.
>Judy: IJX H1 JI.X +78 266
#note Yikes.
>Trip: AEILOST 13C ISOLATE +85 306
>Judy: AEIRRTW 14I WARTIER +79 345
#note This is the point where I announced to the room that we had 6 bingos in our first 10 turns. I had a feeling we weren't nearly done with the insanity.
>Trip: AEINNOS A7 .ON +18 324
#note Took a few minutes to convince myself there was no bingo available.
>Judy: EGO O12 GO.E +21 366
>Trip: AEHIINS E10 .HI. +35 359
#note Lucky that the perfect rack-balancing choice also scores so well.
>Judy: CETU 15F CUTE +24 390
>Trip: AADEINS 11G NAIADES +72 431
>Judy: ?EEGILO K4 ELOIGnE. +68 458
#note Seriously, what the heck is up with this game.
>Trip: BFNRRUU L1 BURN +22 453
#note Well, this was unfortunate, but maybe a great draw can pull me out of it.
>Judy: AMOW 4A WOMA. +39 497
>Trip: BFPRSUY 6J F.RB +17 470
#note I am very proud of this move. I have to block both M7 VENDS and 6J DOVEN, while also finding a way to set up a big out score for myself, which hopefully she can't block or outrun. This one accomplishes all of that ... and it turned out she hadn't fully tracked, so while she knew I had the Y, she didn't know what else.
>Judy: DENV L10 D.V +17 514
>Trip: PSUY N6 YUPS +38 508
#note And thus ends the story of the highest-scoring loss the LA Scrabble club has ever seen.
