>Samuel_Kaplan: ADLNOOT 8D DOTAL +16 16
#note Rd 4. I'm 2-1 with +17 and Alan is 3-0 +480 (I think). I gotta win by a wide margin to catch him and win the tourney.
>Alan_Kraus: DIORRTT 9G TORRID +14 14
#note G6 TRADITOR does play for 63.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEENOPS J7 PE.SONAE +64 80
#note Even if he saw his bingo, that doesn't stop me from playing mine.
>Alan_Kraus: EGLNRTV 13I G.VEL +22 36
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGISWY 12L WAY +30 110
#note Definitely not doing this at 7E given the context. I'd be happy to play it there if the roles were reversed. Again, I need spread.
>Alan_Kraus: ?LNRRTU F5 RUN. +6 42
#note D4 TRUN(D)LeR does play for 64.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEGIIS 5D DI.GE +14 124
#note Forks much better than GRIDE.
>Alan_Kraus: ?LNORST 4H NOSTRiL +67 109
#note O7 LORNeST is much better for 82.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEEFIRS 4A FERE +28 152
#note I ended up blocking my own REDEFIES with DIRGE last turn!
>Alan_Kraus: ACIKMOT A1 COI. +27 136
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEIIJQS J2 QI. +32 184
#note I consiered doing 3H AJI, and I realized it sets up my Q nicely. The only question is how often was Alan gonna leave that open? I didn't realistically think he would. Also, how often will I draw a 5 letter Q play next turn? Who knows. That spot would be just too juicy to leave open.
>Alan_Kraus: AACHKMT 3M KAT +26 162
#note 12D HACKMA(N) is a cool play as is N2 MA(L)THA.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEIIJST 3H AJ. +38 222
>Alan_Kraus: ACHMMNY 8L ACHY +43 205
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEIIST K1 AI +13 235
#note Hoping to hit AX- plays at 1K.
>Alan_Kraus: HMMNOWX 3C OWN +23 228
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEEINST 7J .E +4 239
>Alan_Kraus: DEHMNUX 1K .MEND +33 261
#note 1K AXMEN does play for 66.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEEINST N8 .E +5 244
#note Now I'm hoping to draw the X myself. I didn't think he was keeping the X after AMEND. Winning the tourney is a longshot at this point, but why not go for it?
>Alan_Kraus: ?HITUUX 10N XU +54 315
#note Yep, not winning the tourney now. I can still win the game.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEIMNST 11E SEMIT.NE +96 340
#note Best play. Still not gonna win the tourney.
>Alan_Kraus: ?BHIRTU 10E UH +28 343
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAFOPSZ O12 SPAZ +59 399
#note Mhm
>Alan_Kraus: ?BILORT G11 .OB +10 353
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEFGIOV 12B FAVE +23 422
#note Not giving him favorable floaters to use and blocking the E in FERE.
>Alan_Kraus: ?IILRTU B9 TRI.Le +20 373
#note His best move is B8 pITI(F)UL for 2 more. I don't get to go out this way.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BGIO A8 BIOG +28 450
#note Caught up nicely but not enough in the end.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (IU) +4 454
