>Joel_Elkins: LLNORU 8C UNROLL +14 14
>Magra: CDEGINW C7 W.D +13 13
#note I wasn't a huge fan of this play in retrospect, but it's actually dead even with WENDING which was the other play I had in mind.
>Joel_Elkins: ANQT E7 T.ANQ +28 42
>Magra: CEGGIMN F11 IGG +16 29
>Joel_Elkins: OZ F6 ZO. +34 76
>Magra: CCEELMN 9C .E.N +20 49
#note what an odd play. CCEELN actually hits bingos with A, I and U but that doesn't help on this board. ZOOM is even with this.
>Joel_Elkins: I H8 .I +2 78
>Magra: ACCELMO G3 COMA +22 71
#note COCA does a tad better because of the overlaps joel has next turn on column H (ZAP/ZAG).
>Joel_Elkins: U 5G .U +4 82
>Magra: CDEFLOY 13B FLED.Y +36 107
>Joel_Elkins: AILTX 4G .XTAIL +59 141
#note pretty nice play off of what must have been his second missed fish in a row.
>Magra: AACIOOP 10H POCO +19 126
#note gigantically terrible play. I guess CIAO is sort of hard to see.
>Joel_Elkins: ?AEGNNR 12F .ANGREeN +75 216
>Joel_Elkins: ?AEGNNR -- -75 141
#note well, there's a break
>Magra: AAAEITU 12F .ATEAU +13 139
>Joel_Elkins: ?AEGNNR 14G ENGRAiN +65 206
>Magra: AEEEIIS N12 EASE +24 163
#note with 3 Ss unseen I thought I had to make this play to stay competitive. however, the triple lane I'm giving him is actually just as bad as letting him have the S hook, making this a fairly large mistake.
>Joel_Elkins: AEIKOSV -AEIKO +0 206
>Magra: EHIIITV O12 HI +20 183
>Joel_Elkins: AEJN 12A JEAN +49 255

>Joel_Elkins: BBI 2D BIB +29 320
>Magra: EEFORST A1 .....ETER +39 332
#note note that TRUMPERS is not a word. I made this play because I have the case O up top and a guaranteed 42 points at the bottom left, and therefore figured I could score enough to win. quackle completely disagrees, telling me to make any play leaving EERST or EORST. I have no idea what the right play would be...to be honest my tracking was slightly shifty and I didn't realize I was leaving 1 in the bag, else I would've played TRUMPETS. Upon thinking about it more carefully I think the play is likely FEET at 15L which I didn't think about enough.
>Joel_Elkins: AERRSSW I1 WAR.S +14 334
>Magra: FHKOSVY 1G HO.FS +42 374
#note I really botched the pre-endgame. this hadn't occurred to me at all as a potential scenario. I also wasn't even positive that HOWKS was good and passed it up, which is a huge error - it's a lot easier to win a recount when you lose by 3 than by 8. Also, think about how much better off I would be if I had just played TRUMPETS. he would have another tile and probably would've let me play FORKY at 1E for a gajillion. So I blew this game in the preendgame.
>Joel_Elkins: EIRS M2 RISE +22 356
>Joel_Elkins: (KVY) +26 382
#note he made a nice play in the pre-endgame. WARTS may not be the best way of doing it but given his rack I believe it guarantees him victory no matter what tile he pulls. nice play, joel.
