>jlevedit: BIJKOOY - +0 0
#note Rd 4 Ed Mini 9-8-2021. I'm 1st. I can't find the standings from this one. Nonetheless, if I don't lose by too much, I should be OK. I'm still shocked that I'm 3-0 after that extremely junky endgame.
>skaplan31: ILNNOQY 8G QI +22 22
#note I don't care how defensive the opponent is, I'm not giving Jay too much to work with when I'm just protecting my lead in the standings.
>jlevedit: BIJKOOY 9E KOI +20 20
#note I do like 9D KOJI better here.
>skaplan31: EFLNNOY E7 YO.EL +24 46
#note That's pretty annoying to not have a whole lot myself. This is the most I could find, and I went with this as anyting will open up the nice X bomb. Back to a little bit of normalcy with respect to the power of the X.
>jlevedit: BIJNOOY 10B BON.Y +37 57
#note Looks fine if he's hoping to make up spread as opposed to 10C JOEY. If Jay was in my spot, I might have expected him to do D6 JOY.
>skaplan31: AEFGNNV D4 VEGAN +28 74
#note Looks good again.
>jlevedit: DIIJOSU C7 JO +41 98
>skaplan31: FINPRRT 5C R.PRINT +18 92
#note Not too much of a mistake honestly- 5C FERN or 5C REFT didn't look too appealing to me on this board. It's more open, which I normally want against Jay, and it does eat up more tiles.
>jlevedit: DIILSUV 6G DUI +11 109
>skaplan31: ADEFRTW J6 TAWED +22 114
#note I liked setting up my F with this play and taking out QIS and DUIT easily. Jay does love defense against me.
>jlevedit: ?CILRSV 12A VIRLS +37 146
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: ADEEFPR 8J .ARPED +39 153
#note No home for PREFADE unfortunately. Looks fine again.
>jlevedit: ?CDENOR O1 CORDoNE. +89 235
#note Unfortunately not what I needed to see. Best play for him.
>skaplan31: AAEEFIS I9 FIE +22 175
>jlevedit: AEEIILM 3I MEALIE. +24 259
#note I really like N2 MAILE for 36 here, not sure if he knew that word.
>skaplan31: AAAEESS A12 .ASE +21 196
#note Maybe VASA in this spot? #findingsmall
>jlevedit: FITUUXZ M8 .FUI +13 272
#note I5 TIZ seems fine to slow the game down more and give back literally nothing.
>skaplan31: ?AAAENS 2C ANAtASE +60 256
#note His defense strikes again, it's so annoying when that happens off a suboptimal play. I would have done M7 A(P)ANAgES for 72 if it weren't for PFUI. Only bingo, and I couldn't have done ANABASE* because only ANABAS and ANABASES are good.
>jlevedit: GNTTUXZ 1G TUG +26 298
#note I think I5 TIZ looks fine again if he wants to gain spread on me to try to win the tourney.
>skaplan31: BCGORST 1A COB +25 281
>jlevedit: AMNOTXZ B14 OX +31 329
#note Looks to me like he's trying to go for H11 AZINE based on this rack...
>skaplan31: GHORSTT L1 HO.T +22 303
>jlevedit: AEMNTWZ 2N W. +20 349
>skaplan31: GHLRSTU H11 THURL +38 341
#note Yep, now I realize based on the pool why he had been fishing all this time. He's going for H11 AZINE, which is pretty much the only way I can lose this tourney.
>jlevedit: AEIMNTZ L10 MAIZE +38 387
#note 14F ZIRAM is 4 more spread points for him.
>skaplan31: EGS 15L SEG +23 364
#note At least I avoided a huge loss and I've won 3 tourneys in a row now.
>skaplan31: (NT) +4 368
