>Chris_Cheng: ?GOPRRS 8D GROPeRS +72 72
>Nigel_Peltier: ?AMOSTW J5 TWA.OMeS +76 76
>Chris_Cheng: BEHILOT 12C THILBOE. +78 150
#note Perhaps the most ridiculous phony of the tournament - I am almost sure I was combining BILBOES and THEORBOS to make this. I'm still not sure how it stayed on. Nigel did hold the play. I think the fact that I was in 1st and unknown to him made him reluctant to challenge. The second he held I knew it had to be phony but I was shocked when he accepted
>Nigel_Peltier: CLOO K4 COOL +23 99
>Chris_Cheng: AEFIRST 13H IF +20 170
>Nigel_Peltier: ACINPRY L7 PYRANIC +91 190
#note Well, he phonied me back. PYRAN and PURANIC are good but not PYRANIC*. PYRANIC* = CYPRIAN
>Chris_Cheng: AAENRST 8L .ARN +21 191
#note Ouch
>Nigel_Peltier: ABEEGIV N6 VE.BIAGE +74 264
#note Double ouch
>Chris_Cheng: AEEMOST 11D OMA +25 216
#note I considered 14M OSE and maybe it is the right play because there are no S hook on the board as it is. Still serves as a very strong bingo tile though. Seems a wash
>Nigel_Peltier: HS 14N SH +40 304
#note OSE would have stopped this...
>Chris_Cheng: EESTVXZ E4 VEXE. +30 246
#note Thought I might be missing something on this turn but I guess this is what I have to do
>Nigel_Peltier: DEEFL 6B FLE.ED +27 331
>Chris_Cheng: ELNQSTZ 10B ZEN +38 284
#note Need a good drawto help this Q
>Nigel_Peltier: OW O13 W.O +32 363
>Chris_Cheng: KLQRSTU H10 QU..TS +45 329
#note I was so so tempted to play QU(OI)T - it easily could be impossible for Nigel to block it fully or even at al, but there are ways with double T words like GUTTER RATTED RUTTED JITTER, etc that if any of those kind of plays happened would really sink my chances of a comeback, maybe to almost 0. I think taking the points is necessary despite the potential of a 70-90+ point play next turn. On average it probably doesn't net me much even when I hit the setup.
>Nigel_Peltier: DEII 4D I.IED +22 385
>Chris_Cheng: AJKLORY M13 RAJ +44 373
#note Another big score really gives me hope. Only down by 12
>Nigel_Peltier: DEIT 4K .ITED +20 405
>Chris_Cheng: AEKLNOY 3L KAYO +40 413
#note Missed bingo!
>Nigel_Peltier: ANT 2M TAN +25 430
>Chris_Cheng: AEGLNRU 15A GRANULE. +80 493
#note crazy
>Nigel_Peltier: DEIITUU H1 DIE. +18 448
#note Brutally ironic that Nigel "died" after I scored 209 points in 4 turns to make a comeback victory
>Chris_Cheng: N L3 ..N +10 503
>Chris_Cheng: (ITUU) +8 511
