>Harriette_Lakernick: ?DEEILS 8F LInSEED +68 68
#note Round 18 of the 2011 Dallas Nationals.
>Matt_Canik: EMQRSTU J6 QU.ER +36 36
#note Quackle prefers QI keeping EMRSTU, but I don't know all those bingoes and Quackle does.
>Harriette_Lakernick: AEGLL L3 GALLE. +16 84
>Matt_Canik: AAMNSTY K2 MAYA +30 66
#note I saw MAINSTAY and wussed out. g1 me. Also, SYNTA(G)MA.
>Harriette_Lakernick: AEMR M2 MARE +29 113
>Matt_Canik: AAINNST 2M .AN +10 76
#note She won't hit me very hard after this fish, I'll probably pull a bingo. As far as fishing foes, I think this is right. Of course, I could have just played ANNA(L)IST!
>Harriette_Lakernick: AH 1N HA +26 139
>Matt_Canik: AINNOST 11E ONANIST +93 169
>Harriette_Lakernick: OV G11 .VO +7 146
>Matt_Canik: AGILOVW 12C VOW +23 192
#note With only one A remaining, I like this.
>Harriette_Lakernick: ?DEORTU 14A DETOURs +74 220
>Matt_Canik: ACFGILN N5 CALFING +73 265
#note Lol. CALFING*
>Harriette_Lakernick: EX 15A EX +45 265
>Matt_Canik: BCDEPST 7E CEP +19 284
#note I need to score points to stay in this, but I also need to clear off the rack. This scores more points than most plays (but not DE 13B).
>Harriette_Lakernick: GIJS 10B JIGS +34 299
>Matt_Canik: BDKPSTT F6 K..T +18 302
#note I think about playing KELP to make SKELP, but I decide double Ts are bad.
>Harriette_Lakernick: EFINORY - +0 299
#note challenge kelt
>Matt_Canik: BDOPSTW L11 SWOP +26 328
>Harriette_Lakernick: EORY M12 OYER +33 332
>Matt_Canik: BDHINRT 14J BI..D +32 360
>Harriette_Lakernick: DEIT O6 DIET +37 369
>Matt_Canik: AHNNRTT 9I H.T +21 381
#note Here's what I'm thinking: The ONLY thing she can play in the 13b spot is RE for 26. That will leave drek in the pool, and I'll likely be able to outrun her after that. I decide to try and balance the rack while scoring what I can now.
>Harriette_Lakernick: EFI 15H FIE +22 391
>Matt_Canik: ABENNRT M9 BE +17 398
#note This was interesting. She has NOTHING that plays in the 13B spot now, and I still hold RAN after this play. I'm worried that, if I pull the Z, I am stuck with it if she blocks the Z(IT) spot at 9M. Therefore, I only have a 7/8 chance of winning. BE lets me hit RAN the next turn and win handily, or I can play ZAG or something should I pull the Z.
>Harriette_Lakernick: IIORUUZ 13G .UZO +28 419
#note As it turns out, I also had (OY)EZ if I pulled the Z. So I had this game won either way.
>Matt_Canik: ANNORT 13B RAN +31 429
>Harriette_Lakernick: IIRU D8 RI. +5 424
>Matt_Canik: NOT 11A NO +11 440
>Harriette_Lakernick: IU 2J U. +6 430
>Matt_Canik: T 9C T. +6 446
#note A great game, in my mind. I played well, got away with a phoney bingo, and won a sweet endgame, right?
Well after quackling, I missed two bingoes and the endgame was won either way. That deflates my ego quite a bit, lol. Oh well, I still think I played well.
