#player2 Chuck_Armstrong Chuck Armstrong
>Jason: BDDINRY 8D BIDDY +30 30
#note I saw BIDDY on the completed Armstrong/Hoekstra board after round one and joked to Chuck that he just taught me this word. "I forgot to look it up and see if it was good..." he commented. (Yeah, right.)
>Chuck_Armstrong: BIO 7E BIO +17 17
>Jason: AILNOPR E7 ..POLAR +22 52
>Chuck_Armstrong: AGLNR 6F GNARL +25 42
>Jason: EIINOTW F10 WINE +34 86
#note WITE, duh. INO > IOT.
>Chuck_Armstrong: ENOOPRS K6 SNOOPER +75 117
#note "Nice detective work," Carol Rav quipped.

#note Didn't know CHEDdIT(E).

>Jason: AAEGIRW 9H AW +14 303
>Chuck_Armstrong: DN 9M D.N +13 334
#note It starts to get interesting...
>Jason: ?AEEGIR 10H REA. +19 322
#note I felt like, with the blank, scoring and not fishing was the way to win this game. I felt like if I drew one of the two big tiles, I still had a good shot. Even with blank in hand, pool looks good and I'd rather not turn this game into a race to the bingo against a player like Chuck.
>Chuck_Armstrong: U 13M U.. +6 340
>Jason: ?EEGINT 7K .EG +15 337
>Chuck_Armstrong: AT 15J AT +9 349
>Jason: ?EGINTU H1 GUINE. +24 361
#note The only play, I think. "How did you get vowels?" Chuck asked. "That doesn't bode well for what I'm about to draw," I said.
>Chuck_Armstrong: CEEIOST 4C SEICE.TO +70 419
#note (grumble, grumble)
>Jason: ?AMSTTZ E3 Z.T +24 385
#note After I was done internally grumbling, saying "All I needed you to do was not bingo!" I went through the endgame procedures: play his rack first. I saw R(E)X, X(U) and playing the R at L11 as his only plays, and thought "Wait, I can win this..."
>Chuck_Armstrong: RX 2G X. +9 428
>Jason: ?AMST J10 .M. +9 394
>Chuck_Armstrong: R - +0 428
>Jason: ?AST - +0 394
#note (I actually played (JAR)S/(FOH)S#, but since I have Duck set to Collins, it can't challenge that off like Chuck did.)
>Chuck_Armstrong: R 11J ..R +7 435
>Chuck_Armstrong: R -- -7 428
#note "Are you playing a game of phonies?" Carol Rav asked. "He started it!" Chuck said. How mature... :P
>Jason: ?AST 9G S.. +13 407
>Chuck_Armstrong: R 4C ........R +11 439
>Chuck_Armstrong: R -- -11 428
>Jason: ?AT 9C T.. +6 413
>Chuck_Armstrong: R - +0 428
>Jason: ?A 4C ........s +10 423
#note I can actually do better by playing Ad(Z) for 27 ... my sequence gets just 22.
>Chuck_Armstrong: R - +0 428
>Jason: A 1G A. +12 435
