#player2 al_helfgott al helfgott
>trashman: ?AALNUU H5 LUAU +8 8
#note Elmhurst, IL 11/09. Q prefers UNAU, but I prefer leaving an N to an L.
>al_helfgott: AIMU 5D MIAU. +14 14
>trashman: ?AEINYZ 7G Z.YIN +31 39
#note I struggled with this play. Q likes 4A ZINE 54, which I considered, but didn't like the potentially huge comebacks, and wanted to shed the Y. 6C ZANY is probably best.
>al_helfgott: ETT 6J TET +11 25
>trashman: ?ABEERY 9B EYEBARs +70 109
#note Only playable bingo
>al_helfgott: AEINRTU E7 UR.ANITE +70 95
#note Missing the 6-tile underlap at 10A URANITE for 82!
>trashman: HIJNORR 10B HOR. +35 144
#note Saw 4C JOHN 43, but wanted to shed the R and save the J. Q prefers JOHN
>al_helfgott: AGM 5K MAG +24 119
>trashman: EIIJNNR 12A JINN. +40 184
>al_helfgott: ?AEGLLP N4 PiLLAGE +69 188
#note 14A PRELEGAL 78
>trashman: EIKORRS A12 .OKE +45 229
#note JERK. Too bad SKIJORER didn't play
>al_helfgott: EIVW O1 WIVE +38 226
>trashman: IORRSST 15D TSORRIS +85 314
#note Best. If it were good. Which it's not. 14D RESISTOR is the only real bingo. Al holds for quite a while, but lets it go. A brazillion ways to spell the word, but this ain't one. I dodge a bullet...
>al_helfgott: DIOV 11K VOID +27 253
>trashman: ABNOOQT 8M Q.T +36 350
#note Saw J10 QAT 41, which Q prefers, but didn't want to leave this spot open with the X unseen, and didn't want to create another lane.
>al_helfgott: CEIOOPT J10 POCO +23 276
#note Al's actual rack, as he initially lays down J10 COPIES, then 14J OCTOPI. I hope he plays 4I COOP, which is Q's top pick, but he ends up blocking my bingo
>trashman: ABNOOSS 13I B.ONS +20 370
#note Q likes L3 BOATS 32, but I just want to take out the most obvious bingo lane. Which is fortunate, as Al would have had...
>al_helfgott: CDEIILT D3 DI. +12 288
#note ...IDIOLECT. Dodged another bullet
>trashman: AEFHOSW C2 FOH +29 399
#note O11 SHEAF 55
>al_helfgott: DGO B1 DOG +25 313
#note Scored as 27
>trashman: AAEFSWX N1 AX +41 440
>al_helfgott: ADL 4J DAL +20 333
>trashman: AEEFRSW 14E .WE +29 469
#note O11 SWARF 55. I wasn't sure about the -S hook
>al_helfgott: CEEEINT 6B CEE +18 351
>trashman: AEFRS L3 F...S +26 495
#note O11 SAFER 37, 3H FEARS 23
>al_helfgott: EINT 3G TINE +9 360
#note Endgame not quite right, miswrote something. Final of 495-366 is correct, though. Al wins the tourney with a 9-2 mark, but this made up for my horrendous loss to Al last time out. EDIT: I should note that TSORRISS is good, but needs the double S ending.
