>Eric_Goldstein: ABRW 8F BRAW +18 18
#note 2024 Crescent City Cup. Round 9.
>Jonathan_Lindh: CEENNTW J6 WENT +25 25
#note Or WEN.
>Eric_Goldstein: ?AILRSV H8 .RrIVALS +92 110
#note Best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: CEEHIMN 13G M.CHINE +40 65
#note 2nd best play. I knew there was a valid bingo in here, but I couldn't find 13A CHIMENEA for 82. That's a hard word for me to see.
>Eric_Goldstein: EHIV K3 HIVE +25 135
>Jonathan_Lindh: EINNOOT 14J ONO +16 81
#note Seems fine.
>Eric_Goldstein: EGNOR N10 GENRO +35 170
>Eric_Goldstein: EGNOR -- -35 135
>Jonathan_Lindh: EFGINOT 15L GIFT +36 117
#note 12K GONIF for 38 is a possibility too, but knowing Eric has a G for NOG, I'm inclined to do GIFT.
>Eric_Goldstein: EGNOR 14N OE +16 151
>Jonathan_Lindh: ELNOOSU 9H .O.O +11 128
#note 15A UNLOOSES for 77. I thought this rack was garbage.
>Eric_Goldstein: EEGNRY 3G GREY.EN +34 185
>Jonathan_Lindh: DELNOSU 11H .NSOULED +68 196
#note 11D UNSOILED for 86. 15A LOUDNESS for 83. This wasn't one of my better played games.
>Eric_Goldstein: ADEIK H1 DA.KIE +48 233
>Jonathan_Lindh: AFINSTU 15A FAUNIST. +86 282
#note Never saw N1 FUSTIAN for 89. That's a little better than FAUNISTS.
>Eric_Goldstein: ELOOTZ O5 TOOZLE. +51 284
>Eric_Goldstein: ELOOTZ -- -51 233
#note Just TOUZLED. OOZED plays.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABDIMQR O8 QAI. +42 324
#note Best.
>Eric_Goldstein: ELOOTZ F8 .OZO +35 268
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABDIMRR D9 BIRDMA. +24 348
#note Quackle likes 2H ARB for 26 by a tiny margin over my play, but I don't. BIRDMAN blocks J plays and reaches for the blank. I am happy with my play.
>Eric_Goldstein: ?LX N9 aX.L +52 320
#note First sign of trouble.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAEGIRY 1H .AIRY +13 361
#note 2L YAGI for 23 seems better here to score more and still block L1 plays. I was too concerned about bingos from the D.
>Eric_Goldstein: EU 13C E.U +10 330
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADEEGPT 4J A.DE +23 384
#note Moment of truth! I decided to score here and leave one in the bag. In retrospect, I wonder if I should have blocked, but none of the top plays block fully. There is a good chance if I sacrifice too much points/leave to block I could get J stuck with no vowels. This was a much harder position than I originally thought. Quackle likes C8 PAGE for 18 emptying the bag, but it turns out that would have lost by even more. AIDE actually seems ok.
>Eric_Goldstein: ACESTTU C5 SCUTATE +70 400
#note Quackle likes 5B EUSTATIC for 70 better. Quackle thinks SCUTATE is only 25% to win. But why?
>Jonathan_Lindh: EGJPPRT 8A JE. +30 414
#note Well, the rack I had was one of the wins for Eric. The J and the 2 P's killed me. 5E REJIG for 26 is best, 8A JET is 2nd.
>Eric_Goldstein: L B8 .L +7 407
#note Best.
>Eric_Goldstein: (PGTPR) +20 427
#note I think this was my worst played game of the tournament.
