#player1 Wellington Wellington
#player2 Emmanuel Emmanuel
>Wellington: AELNNNX 8H ANNEX +40 40
#note Easy find for the former world champion.
>Emmanuel: ABEIOOU L4 BEAU. +28 28
#note 9H BOOAI 28 looks more beautiful and effective.
First inaccuracy of the game?
>Wellington: EIILNPS 9B SPLENII +65 105
#note Only bingo!
Did Wellington forgo 7D SPLENII 68 because it sets up the Q, I think so.
Looks like a plan rather than a mistake, convincingly.
>Emmanuel: ILMOOQT J6 QI. +32 60
#note Emmanuel forgoes 8A QI 35. I would have loved to know what he was planning with that turn. Or is it another slightly suboptimal play?

>Wellington: CEHIKLT B9 .HTICK +46 151
#note Looks like Wellington's first miss. See what is available.
C6 KLE(P)HTIC 90. B9 (S)KITCH or B9 (S)KETCH. But not playing sketch can be understood for worry of the Y hook.
>Emmanuel: ELMNOOT 10E TOOLMEN +74 134
#note MOONLET at the very same spot could have scored 2 more. Is it yet another slightly suboptimal move?
>Wellington: EEGHLTU 13B .LEUGH +32 183
#note Well, Wellington resumes his top choice order again. Let's enjoy the game.
>Emmanuel: ADDFGIU 11J FUG +23 157
#note Nothing to add
>Wellington: ?AEERST M3 fEASTER +90 273
#note A brilliant parallel play
>Emmanuel: ?ADDDFR 11D DAD +20 177
#note That's a good move
>Wellington: AEEEJRU C7 JU.E +26 299
#note ...
>Emmanuel: ?ADGIOR D1 GRADInO +79 256
#note Best!
>Wellington: AEENNRT 1D .ENERANT +77 376
#note Top level Scrabble
>Emmanuel: IIOPRSV 3C P.VIOR +24 280
#note Nothing to add

So many brilliant moves, I had to invent signs when they find the best moves
>Emmanuel: ABIILST 15B STIBIAL +96 409

>Wellington: (DOR) +8 527
#note Both players might have made a few mistakes at the beginning but they gave us a very brilliant and entertaining mid and endgame.
Oyende might argue that those slight mistakes made by Emmanuel earlier on might have played a role.
I was being guided by my gadget and I can only hope to be producing this kind of games too.
This is top level Scrablle!
