#note Rd 6. Because of my bad loss in Rd 5, I can't win the tourney. But I can still finish 2nd. So let's see how it goes. Already an inauspicious start for me, but clearly a nice find by Connie.
>skaplan31: ?AAADOU 5G A.OUD +12 12
#note Because the 2 people ahead of me had identical records and much better spread than me, it was going to be very unlikely that I catch either one of them in spread. Therfore, I played this turn more conservatively and just tried to win the game. There was no point in trying to go for spread by setting up an X hotstpot with 5E DOULA when I'm already down a bingo. I did also consider 3F AURA but that poses the exact same issue.
>parteegirl: AABIKLS 7F KI.LBASA +67 131
#note Jeez...I guess it wouldn't have mattered if I did DOULA, ALOUD, or AURA on the previous play.
>skaplan31: ?AAIINO 8C NAOI +11 23
#note A(v)IAtION got blocked. Gotta go all in somehow.
>parteegirl: EINPRSV E8 .VERSPIN +76 207
#note Yea it's looking very bleak now.
>skaplan31: ?AAINRT 15A TRAI.mAN +122 145
#note This makes things slightly better. Glad to at least give myself a fighting chance. A(N)TIARiN is the only other 8 thru the N.
>parteegirl: DEGMPVY 14D G.MP +31 238
>skaplan31: ADEISUW 8M WUD +26 171
#note I could also do 8K WIDES for 41, but that's more like the kind of play I would make if I was going for spread. But, since there's no point in doing that at this time, this is fine.
>parteegirl: ADEEJVY 12A JADE. +42 280
#note Easily best for her.
>skaplan31: AEIOQST G9 QI +42 213
>parteegirl: EEHLUVY B10 HE.VE. +40 320
#note Nice board vision on her part here.
>skaplan31: AEFOOST 13A O.A +27 240
#note Definitely not doing A8 FOO to kill the left side when I'm behind.
>parteegirl: ELNOUYY A8 YOU +23 343
#note She's played the last few turns nicely. This does a nice job blocking the left side.
>skaplan31: EFNORST 3H .EFRONTS +74 314
#note Mhm
>parteegirl: EGLNOOY O1 NO.Y +33 376
>skaplan31: BEHLORS 4K OH +24 338
#note Best play.
>parteegirl: EEGLOTT C3 GOTTE. +16 392
#note Looks fine.
>skaplan31: BEELRRS 4B B.RE +12 350
#note Considered 6M REB but I need that D as wide open as possible.
>parteegirl: CEFLMTZ E3 F.Z +30 422
#note Looks good again.
>skaplan31: EELRSUW 2I WE +19 369
#note Took the extra point over the F2 placement as Connie is gonna block Row 1 anyway. I just needed to keep well for myself.
>parteegirl: CEGLMTX 1H ME +18 440
#note Understandable
>skaplan31: EEILRSU J7 .LUESIER +64 433
#note While LEISURE might have gotten blocked, good thing I saw a backup plan.
>parteegirl: CCGLNTX 12H CL.NG +22 462
#note G4 TAXI would have netted a little more spread for her, but she still has no wins.
>skaplan31: ADT 6M TAD +12 445
#note F2 TAD is 7 more. Not sure why I didn't see that.
What. A. Comeback. Can't believe I won this game despite being down 207-23 after her bingo bango bongo. Meanwhile, Poder won his game by 307 points! If I had been ahead at the beginning, and I didn't have to make up so much spread to win the tourney, I would have played a few turns more aggressively than I did.
