#player1 Jeffrey_Jacobson Jeffrey Jacobson
#player2 Jonathan_Lindh Jonathan Lindh
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: EIVW 8F VIEW +20 20
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AINNRZ G7 Z.N +23 23
#note Best. It's not optimal to play H7 RENDZINA for 67.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: GOTU 10G GOUT +21 41
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AGIINR K4 AIRINGs +69 92
#note I considered 11A AIRINGs for 78 but that seemed a little too aggressive. Quackle likes it by about 5 points despite its riskiness.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ADOTY 11C TODAY +36 77
>Jonathan_Lindh: EFIORSS 5F OSSIF.ER +61 153
#note This exact same word came up in a game in New Orleans between Jackson and Skyler. Held and released.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: BILS H1 BLIS. +24 101
>Jonathan_Lindh: BLMNRTU L1 BRUM. +32 185
#note Should be BLUME in the same spot.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ACNY 2J CA.NY +32 133
>Jonathan_Lindh: ALLNORT 12B LORAL +21 206
#note Quackle likes 12A LLANO for 21 a hair better for some reason, but I am fine with LORAL. Within 1% win percentage.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: DELNORX - +0 133
#note Exchange 3. Not actual rack.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AINNQTT G3 QI. +45 251
#note Best.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ACKL 6C LACK +36 169
#note This play seemed ominous, but I was glad it wasn't an X bomb.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AINNNTT 13A TITAN +25 276
#note I could have saved myself a world of grief by finding and playing B5 TANNIN for 23. The Z is out so no A1 Z plays are possible. TITAN is 2nd best and within 1 point of TANNIN, but precision matters a lot in Division 1.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ?ADEFST B2 STAfFED +108 277
#note That's why you find and play TANNIN. STAFFED was a great play.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEINNTX A7 NIX +41 317
#note This play should be NIXE given the number of E's out. It's very close (even closer than TITAN vs. TANNIN), but precision matters.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: HOOP C1 POOH +29 306
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEEENOT D1 ETNA +33 350
#note Best. Thankfully, I find this play.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: EW 10A EW +24 330
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEEEORU 1N OE +11 361
#note Nothing really appealed here.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: HO A4 HO +24 354
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADEEPRU 14A APED +35 396
#note Do you do APED or PED? I wanted to score a few more points, but this was a gross miscalculation. PED is way better. I am not going to get J stuck because I can do JAB or TAJ/APED if I draw the Z. Plus, PED leaves a 2 in the bag endgame for Jeffrey instead of a 1 in the bag. APED is about #6, PED is #1.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: DEM 15A MED +45 399
#note I knew I screwed up the previous turn when MED came down.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEEIJRU 1F JI.E +13 409
#note Only 100% winning play.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: EGRUV 7J V.G +7 406
#note I10 URGE for 6 is theoretically best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EERU 8D RE.... +13 422
#note However, I screw up this endgame again by not playing CURF (which I saw and forgot about) or AMEER (which I saw and dismissed). Why does REVIEW lose?
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ERU J2 .UR. +14 420
#note Because Jeffrey can play E6 CEE for 5 setting up an unblockable J2 CURF to go out. CURF is 2nd best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EU E6 .E. +5 427
#note CUE in the same spot is the other win.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: E 3B ...E +4 424
#note Best.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: (U) +2 426
#note This game shouldn't have been this close but I'm glad I got the win.
