>Edward_S._De_Guzman: IIMNOOT 8G NOMOI +14 14
#note best: 8D MOTION 22; i don't think i seriously considered this play. i don't like the possible front hooks.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: DLOUW 7J WOULD +17 17
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: DEINPTU 9H DUP +23 37
#note best: 9I UP 18; in a previous game I kept PILES instead of ILES and quackle agreed. i guess it's the same case here.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: CEI 10F ICE +11 28
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: EEEINRT M3 TREE.INE +68 105
#note best: E7 TEENIER 70. i remember looking at another div1 game going on next to me and seeing SEROCINE*. i thought, "what are these guys smoking? to (a) play such a high-prob phony and (b) accept it?". and i play this gem. TREELINE* looked funny but i talked myself into playing it. I actually didn't see the 7. I saw the three Es on my rack and thought there was little chance of anything there. again, maybe i should learn anamonics. ENTIRE + E ......
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: AX N9 AX +52 80
#note maybe this was why he let it stay on the board?
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: AEHISTV 5H HEAVI.ST +78 183
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: AEIPRRS E5 REPAIRS +92 172
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: FGIRTTY O1 GRIT.Y +33 216
#note best: H1 FRIGHT 45. i was looking for a 5 ending in H to play there. didn't think of the -HT ending in a 6.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: AZ D8 ZA +44 216
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: AEFGTTW F6 FE +30 246
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: DOQU D3 QUOD +37 253
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: ABGITTW 8A BAI.. +48 294
#note crap leave but i like the points.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: CFNR B6 FR.NC +24 277
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: AGTTUVW L10 VAW +31 325
#note best: H1 WAUGHT 45. I don't know this word but I do know WAUGH and TAUGHT which were also better plays than mine.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: BMO K11 MOB +27 304
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: ?AGLTTU O10 TUG +20 345
#note best: H1 TAUGHT 36. it is probably a good idea to open more lines for myself but this is too many letters to drop, IMO.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: AEELNOS 14F ENOLASE +69 373
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: ?AIKLNT 1H sTALKIN. +101 446
#note also: TALCKING or TACKLING (for less points)
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: LOO A4 LOO +9 382

>Edward_S._De_Guzman: GIST 2J GI +16 525
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: GIST -- -16 509
#note i really should just claim that due to "poor annotation" I can't reconstruct the endgame. but i honestly will hide nothing from these games. first, it was bad that I didn't play GITS (not 100% sure of it). so i spent a lot of time looking for a place for GIST or any other outplay. didn't find it and got frustrated. i'm also not as focused because i have the game won. so i played a phony 2 as my *main* word. i swear i was possessed. maybe sam was sending me telepathic messages to play SOWPODS. i put the tiles down, announced the score, hit the clock without any hesitation. then i woke up when he said HOLD. lame.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: EEEN 4F NEE +10 429
>Edward_S._De_Guzman: GIST 11K ..S +14 523
#note i am pretty much stumbling my away across the finish line. now i'm even more chicken to play GITS. so i play another phony by hooking an S on TREELINE*. double lame. and he lets it go, hehe.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: E 7E ..E +9 438
#note ugh. to add salt to the wound, another div1 player was watching and saw this endgame played out. it was a topic of conversation at dinner afterwards. i don't think he knew about TREELINE* so in the retelling, I'm the only one who is the chump. wonderful.
>I_Knit_Mahatmas: (GIT) +8 446
