>Irene_Gedney: DENT 8E DENT +10 10
#note Fun fact: I played my first ever game of Scrabble against Irene! 6 months later, this is now my 5th time playing her. Irene drove me to and from this tournament, and we got to spend some really nice time together.
>Caleb_Pittman: ?AEIMNT 7D TAMEINs +72 72
#note There are bingos that score more. I picked one that I thought she'd challenge, and she challenged this.
>Irene_Gedney: DILNOPS - +0 10
#note Challenge
>Caleb_Pittman: AAEERWY E5 RE..Y +18 90
#note This is a really bad play, and it took me a while to find it as well. There are so many better plays. Even accounting for me overcounting the score by 2, this is not good. Ugh
>Irene_Gedney: EH 9C HE. +13 23
>Caleb_Pittman: AAEIINN D2 INIA +10 100
#note Probably 2nd best. But it's close
>Irene_Gedney: ASZ 8A ZAS +41 64
>Caleb_Pittman: AEENNPQ 4C Q. +11 111
#note There's nothing good here. C8 (SH)APEN best?
>Irene_Gedney: IT A8 .IT +12 76
>Caleb_Pittman: ACEENNP J2 PENCE. +17 128
#note Nothing great here. (SH)APEN again?
>Irene_Gedney: IP B6 PI. +11 87
>Caleb_Pittman: AAANRUU B10 ANURA +18 146
#note Every play here sucks, but this is the best one. Underscored by 1.
>Irene_Gedney: OTV 3G VOT. +12 99
>Caleb_Pittman: ABIITUU -BIIUU +0 146
#note Type a note here!It's either exchange or play for 20-ish while leaving garbage. I chose to exchange.
>Irene_Gedney: GILL 13A G.ILL +12 111
>Caleb_Pittman: ADETY 2B DE.TY +34 180
#note Forgot to fully track, but this is pretty good I think
>Irene_Gedney: GRW H1 GR.W +36 147
>Caleb_Pittman: AELLOUX 14E AXEL +29 209
#note At this point, I was 5-1 in the tournament, with only 1 game left to play. I'd be playing 1st place in the final, and she was 6-0 with a ton of spread on me. I thought that I'd open the board in order to blow this game wide open. Big mistake.
>Irene_Gedney: ?ADHRSS 15G DASHeRS +92 239
#note Oh no. I'm now behind in a game I MUST win
>Caleb_Pittman: DLNOOUV M11 VULN. +16 225
#note This awful rack certainly doesn't help. I have VOUDON(S), a word I don't know. VULN(S) isn't very good
>Irene_Gedney: AE 14J EA +12 251
>Irene_Gedney: AE -- -12 239
#note Small slip up. It happens.
>Caleb_Pittman: BDEFOOO 1A OOF +26 251
#note Top equity
>Irene_Gedney: ACE 11K CA.E +18 257
>Caleb_Pittman: BDEEOOR O7 BORED +35 286
#note BOOED is much better
>Irene_Gedney: BI 1F BI. +13 270
>Caleb_Pittman: AEIKORT 4H .I.KER +28 314
#note This is good. 11A I(N)KER might be better.
>Irene_Gedney: EMOS 14J OME.S +30 300
#note Nice play
>Caleb_Pittman: AFJOOTU N6 JATO +35 349
#note Best endgame move by far
>Irene_Gedney: GIOUW 6H WO. +14 314
#note Best move is 3L WO
>Caleb_Pittman: FOU M1 FOU. +14 363
#note I saw 3L FOU for 21, but I wasn't sure of it. Played it safe.
>Caleb_Pittman: (GIU) +8 371
#note This game was a lot tighter than I thought it'd be, and Irene told me in the car afterwards that this was her tightest loss. Thanks for the game, Irene!
