#player1 John_Lindh John Lindh
#player2 James James
>John_Lindh: BITTTWY 8D WITTY +30 30
>James: GNNNRTU E4 TURN.NG +16 16
#note James: I didn't believe myself on TUNN(I)NG especially when I had TURN(I)NG instead, but...
>John_Lindh: BDEIRST 11C BESTRID +88 118
#note Jon: BISTRED might have been safer, but BESTRID worked out very well for me.
>James: ANOORVX H11 .XORA +60 76
>John_Lindh: AEEERSV 12A VEER +30 148
>James: AELNOUV 4A VAUL. +24 100
#note James: Probably I9 VO(D)UN to limit (BESTRID)E plays and score a few more
>John_Lindh: ADDEIMS J7 DIADEMS +76 224
#note Jon: SODAMIDE was 80, but I like DIADEMS more.
>James: ELNOOOU A11 O.OLO +24 124
>John_Lindh: EEHNPSU A4 .EEPS +30 254
#note Jon: Wanted to get rid of triple triples.
>James: AEFINOU B6 FAIN +34 158
#note James: Perhaps FOIN in the same spot? Underscored by 3
>John_Lindh: ?GHIMNU 15G H.UlMING +64 318
#note James: Held this but decided it wasn't worth it, which is stupid because I'm losing anyways and I should just risk the challenge even though I'm pretty 50/50. Jon: G2 GUNSMITH for 69 was the only valid playable bingo and I doubt I would have found that.
>James: AEFORTU N13 FU. +14 172
#note James: 14E FOU(R) keeps a better leave, which is exactly what I need to be doing in this case.
>John_Lindh: ABIIIQY M12 QI +32 350
>James: AEHORST K2 EARSHOT +75 247
#note James: Thoughts about G1 RHEOSTA(T) to open a 3x3, but it sacrificed too many points for my liking.
>John_Lindh: AABIILY 14A .IABLY +38 388
#note James: 2nd unchallenged phony. I thought this one was good though. Jon: I also thought this one was good. G11 RAYAH for 35 looks like the best valid play.
>James: ?ACCDEL 3F ACCoL.DE +80 327
#note James: H1 DELiCAC(Y) but I didn't find it in time.
>John_Lindh: AEEINTW 2B WITAN +24 412
#note Jon: I have to block F2 Z Bombs.
>James: GIOOOPR H1 PO.O +27 354
#note James: Meh, hoping for either the J or Z and for John not to have a massive play in the top left.
>John_Lindh: AEEEEJK 1A JAKE +62 474
#note Jon: Easily best.
>James: GINORZ M1 IR. +3 357
#note James: Definitely dumb here. I didn't spot epee and got too fancy. Should just do M2 Z(E)ROING. Not my brightest moment.
>John_Lindh: EEE 1G E.EE +6 480
#note Jon: In all fairness, it took me awhile to see EPEE as well. I thought James was going out so I was pleased to see IRE come down. My only 500+ games of Nationals and the Word Cup involved me phonying my opponents multiple times. This was the first game like that.
>John_Lindh: (GNOZ) +28 508
