>Dave_Wiegand: EEFIMRT 8D FEMITER +82 82
#note Memorial Day Oregon Coast Open 2023, round 11.
>Alec: ABDILLU 7I BULLA +20 20
#note I didn't spend enough time generating plays here. I saw this, D8 FIBULA, E2 AUDIBLE, and 7G BUDA#; I chose BULLA to play off an L while keeping a vowel. The best play is BUILD in the same spot, scoring 2 more than BULLA and keeping the better leave; somehow I saw only its anagram, BLUID#, which doesn't play. Other good options include D8 FLUID, 7E BALU#, and 7E BUDI#. #findingmedium
>Dave_Wiegand: ADIMNSY E1 DYNAMIS. +78 160
>Alec: CDEILOR 1A CLOD.IER +176 196
#note Better lucky than good.
>Dave_Wiegand: ?CEFORS N2 SCOfFER +96 256
>Alec: AELOSST A1 .OATLESS +83 279
>Dave_Wiegand: EGINRTW 4C TW.NGIER +76 332
>Alec: GNNPRTU 3I PUNG +19 298
#note Quackle slightly prefers PUNT. I still prefer PUNG, because it keeps the T for potential B8 bingos.
>Dave_Wiegand: AEOVVXY B5 OX +52 384
>Alec: AABNORT 6I OBA +29 327
#note 2I OBA is best. I chose 6I to block (BE)Z#, but it partially blocks the bingo lane on column L, which I need to leave open while I'm behind. #strategysmall
>Dave_Wiegand: ADEUVVY L7 .UVVED +28 412
>Alec: AEIKNRT 11E ANKERIT. +98 425
#note Quackle prefers KREATINE#. I still prefer ANKERITE, because it's easier to make an AZ--- word at H11 after KREATINE than an EZ--- word after ANKERITE.
>Dave_Wiegand: ANOQRTY J10 Q. +31 443
#note Dave would have played YAQONA# for 84 after KREATINE.
>Alec: AAHHIOP H11 .PHAH +48 473
>Dave_Wiegand: ?ANORTY 14G N.tATORY +74 517
#note Dave laid down 14H ANATROpY# first.
>Alec: AEEINOW 15L WEAN +49 522

>Alec: EEIOTUZ 3A .ZIO.E +41 563
>Dave_Wiegand: AGII L1 GI.A +16 581
>Alec: ETU B1 .U. +28 591
#note 1 point better than going out with 9F UTE. This gives me 591 points, the highest-ever losing score in a Collins tournament (as far as I know).
>Dave_Wiegand: I 13H .I +8 589
