>Jonathan_Lindh: AAAHLLO 8D HALLOA +26 26
#note September 15, 2024 Galesburg, Illinois WGPO Tournament. Round 4. By far the best play. Steve said all good things must come to an end referencing my ongoing 11 game winning streak in WGPO tournament dating back to Round 31 of the Word Cup against Maddie Kamen. Steve spoke my win streak's demise into existence.
>Steve_Hartsman: ANOPSTU J5 OUTSPAN +73 73
#note This was a terrible challenge, but OUTSPAN looked really phony to me on this turn. Surpass in spanning?
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADEEIOT - +0 26
#note Unsuccessful challenge.
>Steve_Hartsman: ENW K10 WEN +21 94
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADEEIOT L7 IODATE +29 55
#note Best. In the greater scheme of things, challenging OUTSPAN did not cost me THAT much.
>Steve_Hartsman: OVX K3 VOX +44 138
>Jonathan_Lindh: CEEIOSU D5 ICE.OUSE +76 131
#note Best. Know your 5 vowel 8's. I had a 5 vowel 8's miss in Round 7 of this tournament against Peter Schwartzman and it ended up costing me.
>Steve_Hartsman: DFFU E2 DUFF +32 170
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?CEKSVW 9C V.W +18 149
#note Best.
>Steve_Hartsman: ABGIINR 2A BRAI.ING +78 248
#note Best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?CEKRSU A2 .UCKREeS +104 253
#note Phony. I missed BUCKLERS. Steve held this play for a very long time but then accepted because he did not want to lose his spot for MONERAN and he saw I had BUCKLERS.
>Steve_Hartsman: AEMNNOR M1 MONERAN +73 321
#note Best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEGIPRS H5 PER.GIES +62 315
#note Best.
>Steve_Hartsman: ABET 1F BEAT +33 354
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADEINTT L2 TIDE +37 352
#note Best. I need to see more of these cool insertion/overlap/underlap plays.
>Steve_Hartsman: IJL C1 J.IL +22 376
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?ADNRTZ C11 ADZ +31 383
#note 3rd best play. 7C ZED for 30 keeps a vowel and avoids some disaster scenarios like the one I experienced. ZED is 79.17% to win and ADZ is 73.48% to win.
>Steve_Hartsman: EEIMRT 14B RETIME +42 418
#note If I draw one vowel and dodge the Q, I should be winning here...
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?GHLNRT N5 sH +36 419
#note ...Instead I did not draw a vowel. However, I can still win. 15G THRONG for 35 and 15G LENGTH for 41 win by outrunning Steve. I had the wrong strategy here and it cost me.
>Steve_Hartsman: AIOOQYY N2 YO +29 447
#note N1 AY for 26 is 2 points better but YO wins.
>Jonathan_Lindh: GLNRT G13 G.T +6 425
>Steve_Hartsman: AIOQY 10G Q. +11 458
>Jonathan_Lindh: LNR 7A .RN. +5 430
>Steve_Hartsman: AIOY O1 YO +22 480
>Jonathan_Lindh: L 11B L.. +3 433
#note 12C DEL for 4 is one point better.
>Jonathan_Lindh: (AI) +4 437
