>Patrick_Beatrez: FMOORRR H6 FROM +18 18
#note Last round, I need to win by 85 to win the division.
MORRO is by far best, I didn't know the word. FROM is next best.
>Eric_Yoder: IO G5 OI +7 7
>Patrick_Beatrez: DNORRRT F5 TROD +17 35
#note And now I wasn't sure of DORR, a 3-to-4 hook. TROD is 10 points worse.
>Eric_Yoder: AGIKNT E7 TAKING +27 34
>Patrick_Beatrez: AAAMNRR 12B ANA.RAM +26 61
#note Unfortunately no I for MARINARA. Static equity puts D10 MAAR as slightly better, but I like ANAGRAM to get rid of the marginal rack and try again.
>Eric_Yoder: PSZ B11 Z.PS +30 64
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEEFRRS 11G FEARERS +79 140
#note I was about 75% on this word and I could've played F10 FA(R)ER for 33 keeping ERS, but I decided to go for it. He held for a while and didn't challenge, but it is valid.
>Eric_Yoder: HU A14 UH +17 81
>Patrick_Beatrez: ADEIOQY M7 QADI. +27 167
#note Static has 13G YO as slightly better than QADIS, but I'm not going to do that when I have a good spot to dump the Q.
>Eric_Yoder: EEGIN N4 GENIE +21 102
#note Plays below ANAGRAM for 2 more.
>Patrick_Beatrez: BDEOOTY O1 BOYO +34 201
#note Looks good. L10 B(R)OODY is possible and doesn't float dangerous letters, but I liked that BOYO shut down the top of the board for good. The only line is to overlap along FROM.
>Eric_Yoder: EEEIII -EEEIII +0 102
>Patrick_Beatrez: DEGOTVX 13G VEXT +44 245
#note VEXT over VOX since there's a whole lot of Es left.
>Eric_Yoder: AE C11 A.E +25 127
>Patrick_Beatrez: CDGLOTV 5J CLOV. +20 265
#note G(AE)D and TOG(AE)D are possible but I didn't want to open up the line since it's very difficult to block. I can hold onto this D for now (as long as I haven't picked up an S yet) in case he tries to create a hook with an H. D8 COG for 27 is available but it sets up an S hook and leaves 4 consonants, so I am vulnerable.
>Eric_Yoder: INO 14I ION +18 145
>Patrick_Beatrez: BDEGLPT 15J PELT +14 279
#note BEGL(AD) for 33 is available and cleans up my rack, but I needed to address the opening. PELT looks like it sacrifices the least to do it. I couldn't think of any triple-triples with @SPELT?? and I was correct.
>Eric_Yoder: HI L8 HI +22 167
>Patrick_Beatrez: ABCDGJU O8 DUB +42 321
>Eric_Yoder: WW L4 W.W +18 185
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?ACEGIJ L11 .AJ +20 341
#note 9C JA(K)E
>Eric_Yoder: AEELRST J1 TREA.LES +64 249
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?CEEGIN 1F GENE.ICs +89 430
#note AGENETIC is clearly better than GENETICS since it makes it hard to overlap. I played this too fast and should've found AGENETIC, which I saw right after playing GENETICS.
>Eric_Yoder: ?DEILNO 2B ELODIN +25 274
>Eric_Yoder: ?DEILNO -- -25 249
#note GLENOID/LENTOID play for 76, but I still would've won by 87 and won the tournament by 4 points of spread. EIDOLON also overlaps for 75, and a few bingos with the E in TREACLES play.
>Patrick_Beatrez: ISTUUY 2F IT +11 441
#note I couldn't find a better play to block with. F1 G(UY) is significantly better.
>Eric_Yoder: ?DEILNO 3B ELOIN +14 263
>Patrick_Beatrez: SUUY D2 Y.US +14 455
>Eric_Yoder: ?D 15J ....eD +24 287
