>Steve: ADIIIUY -ADIIIUY +0 0
#note Q holds back AD.
>Kevin_McCarthy: HOW 8G WHO +18 18
>Steve: AEKNNRV 9C KNAVE +24 24
#note Missing the A-hook on WHO at a cost of 10 points.

>Kevin_McCarthy: FGINTW E8 W.FTING +28 101
>Steve: ADEEHJ 6H HAJ +38 111
#note Can't recall the other letter in the rack; notes incomplete. Wasn't sure that LONGE was good.
>Kevin_McCarthy: CDIO K4 ODIC +28 129
>Steve: DENOQSS L2 NODES +36 147
#note I debated on this or keeping the N back, never seeing the big front hook to the twl. I just wanted to turn over another tile hoping to get an I for a big Q play at D12.
>Kevin_McCarthy: IIT C7 TI.I +9 138
#note This was an unexpected bonus.
>Steve: EIPQSUZ B10 QUIPS +103 250
>Kevin_McCarthy: ACEIR 1K CARIE +32 170
#note I was so surprised to have missed the A/NODES hook that I never paused to consider whether CARIE* was good.
>Steve: BELNTYZ 14G B.NZYL +40 290
#note Not knowing LONGE cold costs me six points this time.
>Kevin_McCarthy: AIMR 15L AMIR +24 194
>Steve: AELOTUY A12 LOUT +24 314
#note Missing a sweet paralell play starting at m1 for an additional dozen.
>Kevin_McCarthy: ARV J2 VAR +18 212
>Steve: ADEEERY M3 YE +25 339
#note If I played in that Minnesota marathon maybe I would have seen the best play here, coming down from B2. Along with the extra points it also turns over tiles with both blanks still unseen.
>Kevin_McCarthy: AFO 13K OAF +20 232
>Steve: ADEEEPR C12 PEE +28 367
#note Q likes PE at 14N, but says I'm still 92 percent after this play.
>Kevin_McCarthy: ADEGOSS B2 DOSAGES +80 312
#note Both blanks still unseen. Ruh Roh.
>Steve: ABDELRU A1 BEDU +33 400
#note Took about 7 minutes to make this crucial play, and chose wrongly. There is a play coming down from A1 that wins by a single point, but Q's championship player curiously chooses to play (ET)A at 7b. It says that wins 100 percent of the time, but that isn't true.
