>Winter: EEEIKOT 8H OKE +14 14
#note OKE was basically an insta-play once I determined there was no way to play three wowels.
>Andy_Kurnia: BEY 9H BYE +31 31
>Winter: EEEEITW 10H EEW +43 57
#note Quackle like EEEW, and in retrospect it is the better play, but I felt that the board was looking so tight that I could put pressure on Andy if he didn't have an S or hook for OBE or OKE.
>Andy_Kurnia: DDERRU G3 RUDDER +18 49
>Winter: AEEIIIT 5C TEII. +12 69
#note At this point I was starting to get worried that wowels were going to kill my game--if I don't have TEII(D) I was considering AE(R)IE, but that feels really weak even though the EIT leave is not horrible.
>Andy_Kurnia: BMW D4 W.MB +22 71
>Winter: AAEEIIT C3 TA.E +17 86
#note I was in disbelief at all the wowels, and I was incredibly tempted to exchange, but I decided to give it one more chance to play through--wowels gotta run out ewentually, right?
>Andy_Kurnia: GPSU 8A GUPS +37 108
>Winter: ADEIINQ B1 QAID +37 123
#note Game started to turn around.
>Andy_Kurnia: ASTU 1A S.UAT +45 153
>Winter: EGINSTV 1A .....TING +57 180
#note This was quite fortuitous, since I could not play STERVING.
>Andy_Kurnia: NOO 2D NOO +13 166
>Winter: EGISTVX F8 TIX +35 215
#note Wasn't sure that TROKE was good with that spelling, but took a chance.
>Andy_Kurnia: LOO E9 LOO +17 183
>Winter: EGLLRSV B6 GR.EL +22 237
#note Almost missed this.
>Andy_Kurnia: AEO 6F O.EA +11 194
>Winter: ?EJLSUV 5I JUVE +37 274
>Andy_Kurnia: AADEIOR 12C AERADIO +72 266
>Winter: ?AFLNSV M1 FLANS +31 305
#note Dang!!!
I actually SAW FLAViNS, but somehow I forgot about it and fixated on FLAVINES or FLAVONES, and then I went into tunnel wision.
>Andy_Kurnia: LMY 13B LYM +30 296
>Andy_Kurnia: NN (challenge) +5 301
>Winter: ?CEIIRV 2J VRI. +15 320
>Andy_Kurnia: NN D11 N..N +8 309
>Winter: ?CEIIPZ 1M .IZ +45 365
#note Thought I was golden after this point, with a 50+ point lead and holding CEIP?
As long as he didn't hit FACTORS.
>Andy_Kurnia: ?CFORST 13I FaCTORS +89 398
>Winter: ?CEHHIP O9 CHIP.Et +48 413
#note AARRGHH!!!
I was in disbelief that I drew both Hs.
I actually saw the ISH possibly, but PEACHISH*, which sounded ridiculous. Why I could not see the bonus, I'll never know, but seeing those plays is what is needed to win.
