>Winter: DENNOUW 8F UNOWNED +76 76
#note I was lucky to find what I did, after passing on UNENDOW*. Needless to say, this rack is way too deep for me.
>Kevin_Colosa: FI J6 FI. +14 14
>Winter: ?EINQSU K7 S.QUINEd +84 160
#note Knew QUINSIES but not with the D. Frustrated that I'm drawing so well now that Brad has knocked me out of contention (or so I think, not realize what would happen on the other boards).
>Kevin_Colosa: EP 9H PE +15 29
>Winter: DEITUVW 13I VI.WED +34 194
>Kevin_Colosa: DJO 10J J.DO +28 57
>Winter: EGIKTTU 10F KIT +22 216
>Kevin_Colosa: AHSY N10 SHA.Y +43 100
>Winter: EEGOOTU I2 TOGUE +12 228
#note Uh-uh. My mental grumbling caused the Tile Gods to turn my tiles around.
>Kevin_Colosa: EE L12 E.E +17 117
>Winter: EGIORTX O11 OX +39 267
#note Or not.
>Kevin_Colosa: CGI H1 CIG +23 140
>Winter: AEGIRRT 11D GRIT +18 285
>Kevin_Colosa: AELZ 4I .LAZE +30 170
>Winter: ABEIIRR 5K BAR +31 316
#note Unsure of (GLAZE)R.
>Kevin_Colosa: DLOR N2 LORD +33 203
#note Guess Kevin wasn't.
>Winter: EEFIIRR O1 RIF +25 341
>Kevin_Colosa: AT 9K .AT +21 224
>Winter: AEEEINR D10 A.EE +10 351
#note I'm far enuf ahead that I don't fear his bingo and decide to try for one myself.
>Kevin_Colosa: HOPT C12 PHOT +32 256
>Winter: EEINNRV 7A NERVINE +67 418
>Kevin_Colosa: L - +0 256
>Winter: AACOSUY 6M AY +33 451
#note Here's where things got really interesting. I'm sure I win even if he trip-trips, and I'm trying to max out my spread to have a shot at cashing. Playing AY and leaving ACOSU and the two lines, I might have a shot at OU(T)CASTS or OU(T)CASTE or maybe another OU(T) word, or the N.
>Kevin_Colosa: L K3 L.. +5 261
>Winter: ACMMOSU 6A UM +22 473
#note ,Don't want to empty the bag, so I decide to block what seems the easiest line for the 3x3. Still hoping I can get something something myself with the ACMOS leave.
>Kevin_Colosa: ?ILNOST 15A LO.TINgS +122 383
>Kevin_Colosa: ?ILNOST -- -122 261
>Winter: AACMORS 15A OS.RACA +30 503
#note I love this play for all sorts of reasons. Gives me an out, the possibility of a challenge, and the possibility of what happened next. At this point Kevin was 3:55 over time, so I didn't even bother to look for a bing through the V or C. I doubted he would look there.
>Kevin_Colosa: ?ILNOST H14 OS +36 297
>Kevin_Colosa: ?ILNOST -- -36 261
#note The best I could hope for.
>Winter: ABM G2 BAM +18 521
#note Considered trying to play B(UN)A and letting Kevin go over time, but as I worked out the math I saw that he had three tiles ready, and I figured he would get them down before he went over on his clock another minute.
>Winter: (ILNOST?) +12 533
