#note Quackle gives B12 FAT the wpct at 68.64%, but this is a heads up move, and lead in valuation with not many vowels unseen.
>Jeremy: AEIMNVW B12 VAW +28 429
#note Quackle likes this.
>Doug: AABCETY A13 CAY +36 455
#note wpct is A13 CAB with 80.56% to win. Doug's move is 75% to win. The valuation play is L9 BETA. -1.1
>Jeremy: EIJMNOS N6 JOIN +34 463
#note Quackle says five moves, including my own, win 100 percent. This or 7I J(E)ON are the best, blocking Doug's out L4 BARTER. I had considered L4 JIMSON* as another course of action, but just JIMSONWEED is good - I wasn't sure.
>Doug: ABERRT D2 BAR. +27 482
#note Big Now!!! BARR* is phony, and I have just over a minute to think about it. It is pretty brave challenging Doug knowing I can still walk out with a tie! I put the play on hold. This really put me in a bind. I thought Doug would play BEAM at L11 giving me a win. My preplanned course of action (15F SEEM) results in a tie now. Doug probably knows his words better than me, and if I can tie I feel like taking it rather than risking a challenge which loses the game. Instead of spending my last minute looking for a better play, I end up checking my math three times to make sure it actually tied the game.
>Jeremy: EMS 15F SE.M +13 476
#note I11 MES(H) for 19 pts wins. I didn't spot it, and neither did Doug. Despite the endgame mistakes, it was still an exciting game. STEE! Still, I was pretty happy just to get a tie against Doug. There were only slots for Winners and Losers on the result slip. We weren't sure who should hand it in, so we co-handed the result slip to Tim together. What a crazy game!
>Jeremy: (ERT) +6 482
