#player2 Orry_Swift Orry Swift
>Joshua_Sokol: ??AADNT H4 ADAmaNT +64 64
#note I couldn't remember for sure if this took an S or not so I really should have played something else or decided that it did take an S and play it higher up
>Orry_Swift: BEIMRST 11B TIMBRES +79 79
>Joshua_Sokol: CEHILLO D8 HOL.E +28 92
#note HOL(M)IC, not familiar to me, considered only this and (M)ILCH. -5 or so
>Orry_Swift: DEINORU E3 NEUROID +74 153
>Joshua_Sokol: CEEGIIL 8A LIC.. +30 122
#note now my position is pretty bad, but GE(N)IC 3C is still OK, I don't need to worry too much about this board closing down. All of the letters in ADAMANT are still available to utilize for the time being. Still, scoring is good too.
>Orry_Swift: HRTUW 4A WUTH.R +32 185
#note however I crossed this off as a mistake after WUTHER came down, thinking it was a bad mistake allowing Orry to gain tempo. Too bad it was also my first two plays that were not necessarily accurate.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEFGIR F10 G.IEF +21 143
#note And I miss EARWIG for the nth time, such a difficult word for me, that. Ugh. Not that this is much worse, since the board needs a bit of love at this point.
>Orry_Swift: IJSSUV 15D JUS +28 213
#note I think he either had VIS or VES, really close to JUSSIVE so he played this to set it up with a likely pull.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEIORT 15D ...TER +39 182
#note sorry CSW fans, ETAERIO doesn't play in this position. I sniff out Orry's confident JUS play and block the setup.
>Orry_Swift: IIIII -IIIII +0 213
#note ok, things might be ok
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIKO G7 OKE +19 201
#note I don't have my full rack here unfortunately, but it's safe to say that I remember not having a clue about what to do. This was probably bad.
>Orry_Swift: AINO 3A ANIO. +26 239
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIIRTT 6C IR.IT.TE +20 221
>Orry_Swift: GNUY 5H .UNGY +24 263
>Joshua_Sokol: AADENPX 4L APEX +52 273
#note And here I somehow completely missed 14I EXPAND, despite knowing he has an S, it's clearly the right play. Ughughugh
>Orry_Swift: EEEE -EEEE +0 263
>Joshua_Sokol: AADENSV 10H .AV +14 287
#note I could continue to score here with J10 VANDAS but I'm unsure of JUSTERS so I want to take that lane out and fish.
>Orry_Swift: CELMNOS 3K CLONE +39 302
#note Orry missed 3L COME here. Glad I wasn't the only one making dumb mistakes this game, but I certainly had my fair share.
>Joshua_Sokol: AADENOS 14F .ADO +15 302
#note Orry seemed ready to pounce here, but it's an even game, I thought I could handle what he had coming. However I put a lot of thought into still playing 2N AD or OD, even though I figured he had a bingo ending in S. I was right but it would have been better still to play 2N AD. I thought maybe he had a big play with EX, but nothing to the extent of
>Orry_Swift: AEGIMOS O3 ..OGAMIES +107 409
#note this beautiful thing cost me the tournament (maybe)
>Joshua_Sokol: ABEINSW N10 WAB +31 333
#note I still have an outside shot, let's just hope the pre-endgame it tough to solve from his end
>Orry_Swift: DEFPQRV 13I FED +21 430
#note If he had had a different rack and therefore different threats to address, I might have won this game. But he sees that he has to block some things, including my winning bingo
This is the best play for Orry.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEILNSY B7 L. +2 335
#note figured it might be better to go out in two but I ran out of time
>Orry_Swift: OPQRVZ 13E R.V +20 450
>Joshua_Sokol: AEINSY A2 N.. +6 341
>Orry_Swift: OPQZ C2 P.. +5 455

>Joshua_Sokol: EISY M9 YE. +25 372
>Orry_Swift: OQ M8 O... +16 483
>Joshua_Sokol: IS 1A SI +27 399
#note we both screwed this endgame up real bad lol, too complex for our feeble minds
>Joshua_Sokol: (Q) +20 419
