>Brian_McCarthy: IIIIIII -III +0 0
#note 2024 Crescent City Cup. Round 19. Exchange 3. Not actual rack. This is my last annotated game of tournament. I didn't play in round 20 because I had a flight to catch (or at least I thought I did, my flight got delayed 3 hours and they changed my departure time 5-10 different times).
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEGNQRS -GQ +0 0
#note Time to exchange right back.
>Brian_McCarthy: IIIIIII -II +0 0
#note Exchange 2. Not actual rack.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEEINRS 8D EENSIER +66 66
#note Probably should be ESERINE, but it's very close.
>Brian_McCarthy: IO F6 IO. +5 5
>Jonathan_Lindh: DHMRRTU 7E M.UTH +33 99
#note I was really happy with this play, but 7D DROUTH for 34 is even better. I wish I had senn that. MOUTH is still a top 5 play though.
>Brian_McCarthy: AEZ J8 .AZE +33 38
>Jonathan_Lindh: BDFJORR K11 FJORD +42 141
#note Sometimes you need to be bold in Scrabble and this was one of those times. FJORD is quite a bit better than anything else so it's worth the risk similar to the SOOEY was in Game 7.
>Brian_McCarthy: ILT 12K .ILT +22 60
>Jonathan_Lindh: BHIORTW 15K .HOTI +39 180
#note DHOTI is nice, but DHOBI is even better. Right idea, though,
>Brian_McCarthy: CGR 9H CR.G +20 80
>Jonathan_Lindh: BDEORRW 14J B.OW +25 205
#note C5 BROW for 21 is a possibility too.
>Brian_McCarthy: ADILSSU N6 DUALIS.S +65 145
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEEKPRR 8L PE.K +39 244
#note Best.
>Brian_McCarthy: INU 14G UNI.... +12 157
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEEIRRT C8 TIREDER +76 320
#note Best.
>Brian_McCarthy: AEV H12 VA.E +33 190
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAEEOOY -AAEOOY +0 320
>Brian_McCarthy: AF D11 FA +21 211
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEENPST 5D DEP +18 338
#note Taking out a bingo line.
>Brian_McCarthy: AEILMRT M1 REALTIM. +86 297
>Brian_McCarthy: AEILMRT -- -86 211
>Jonathan_Lindh: ACEENST O1 CETANE +30 368
#note Do you challenge off REALTIME# with two blanks out and hope to draw them with CETANE or do you accept REALTIME# and find the triple triple? I think it's a close call, but I think I probably should have accepted and triple tripled.
>Brian_McCarthy: AMR 4C RAM +20 231
#note Scored as 18.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ANOOSUY N2 YA +22 390
#note Hey, those are many of the tiles are threw back!
>Brian_McCarthy: ?EILNTV B1 VENTaIL +78 309
#note Nice play!
>Jonathan_Lindh: NOOSU M3 ONO +12 402
#note Rack not recorded. Blocking the Q spot.
>Brian_McCarthy: GO L3 GO +15 324
>Jonathan_Lindh: AGIOSUX A7 AXIS +35 437
#note Retracked from scratch to find a missing W. Determined AXIS couldn't lose.
>Brian_McCarthy: ?ABLNQY 2H QiBLA +25 349
#note Best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: GOUW K4 WOG +20 457
