>Grant: IORZ 8G ZORI +26 26
>Dave: AHINTTV 9C VITTA +25 25
>Grant: ADEINOR E4 AROIN.ED +86 112
>Dave: DFHNOSU D1 FOHN +32 57
#note FOH D4 is the equity play and is probably a touch better. But the way this rips open the board is highly desirable.
>Grant: EX F5 EX +52 164
>Dave: DEFLSSU J4 SULF.DES +66 123
>Grant: BEHRY K11 HERBY +36 200
>Dave: ACOSTUY L8 YUCAS +38 161
#note It was probably a sign of my fatigue that it took me a long time to find this play. I kept seeing things like YURTA, YUCAS 15K, and BUOY, but my intuition told me there ought to be something better. If I had been alerter, I might have found an even better play: SAUCY C3.
>Grant: OOP 1A POO. +27 227
>Dave: EINOPRT M2 TROPINE +75 236

>Dave: CIILNQW 3A WIC. +24 349
>Grant: EEEEE -EEEEE +0 323
>Dave: ILNNQTU D7 QU.NIN +51 400
#note The star play this time, but another one that cost me dearly on the clock.
>Grant: ?DEEEST A3 .EEDiEST +86 409
#note There's a good case to make here for bingoing on row 13 instead, as it is much more likely to be a productive line for me than the A column. As it turned out, I would have played WETWARE.
>Dave: AEELRTW 13C WELTER +36 436
#note This seems like the right idea. It's too late in the game to fish, and the endgame timing is good.
>Grant: KL 8L ..LK +33 442
#note He blocked my bingo, but this shouldn't be too hard to win with a reasonable out in two. But in my tired state and short of time, I muffed it up. At first all the scoring plays I could find left tiles that were too awkward to go out. Then, down to less than a minute I immediately jumped at a reasonable scoring play that guaranteed an out...
>Dave: ADEIMNU N6 DU.IA +21 457
#note ... but I realized as soon as I made it that I was giving him a very big comeback.
>Grant: ?ABGGOO O10 GABOOn +36 478
#note If he knows and can find the word GOBANG, he can even win.
>Dave: EMN B5 MEN +17 474
#note What became obvious to me shortly after the game was that I should have just played the last two moves in the reverse order. I have a second out with AUDIO, so that guarantees a win. In fact, it's Quackle's top choice.
>Dave: (G) +4 478
#note I blew it, but at least it wasn't in a tournament game. It was fun too, and Grant fought hard.
