>David_Gibson: AEINRSW -W +0 0
#note He said in hindsight AW is better than x1. He's probably right.
>Ryan_Fischer: BDLMOOU 8D DUMBO +24 24
>David_Gibson: AAEINRS D2 ARANEI.S +68 68
>Ryan_Fischer: EGIILNO 3A LIG.OINE +70 94
>David_Gibson: ADEFNNT 4H FANNED +37 105
#note Key turn. He said he left a T here, didn't want to play DELFT, leaving NN. I just bingoed, so he took a chance.
>Ryan_Fischer: ?AEEHPT A1 TE.EPAtH +167 261
#note Well, I got the SECOND highest play. During postmortem he noticed and asked if I could find the best play. When he said there was a better one, I did. Can you?
>David_Gibson: AITW B6 WAIT +34 139
#note HE(L)PmATE for 185!
>Ryan_Fischer: AEIKSUY 9G YEUK +29 290

#note 2F AA(L)II 15?
>David_Gibson: DEMORRU N6 RUMORED +68 237
>Ryan_Fischer: ADEEGLS 8L GA.E +27 329
#note He pointed out something I was sort of conscious of, but not really. With the Q out here, you have to be wary of 6s ending in QUE. Also 2J is a hotspot, not to mention all the bingo prospects. Still, this is the best equity play, and Champ likes it.

>David_Gibson: EINNORT C9 INTONER +70 345
#note (!)
>Ryan_Fischer: BLOPRSV 14B V.RB +18 382
#note Okay, don't blow it. Champ says PLOV(E)R first, then V(E)RB. I doubted BLOOP, for what it's worth. It's just fine, but not the play here. I need to constrict the triple line in case he can play something big there, and pray he didn't just get the other blank. VERB does that and keeps a vowel, seems solid to me.
>David_Gibson: ALX B1 AX.L +44 389
#note And he's pulled ahead after being down by 156!
>Ryan_Fischer: ?JLOPSV 6L J..L +11 393
#note Well. I got something I wanted, and some THINGS I really didn't. I think I banked too much on a bingo here, but with S? in hand, can you blame me? So: lose the J. Score. Keep a vowel. That's key. So not JO(G), but J(AR)L. Static says SLOJ(D) for 26 or x5, keeping S? Champ wants JOLE or JOG, but I don't trust things not to get disastrous if I don't draw a vowel (very likely). JOLE blocks a line or three, too, and I need to keep him worried about a bingo.
>David_Gibson: EOYZ 12A ZO.EY +54 443
#note In hindsight, he says, OYEZ for only 42 is better 'cause it blocks row 15 and obstructs 13. This gives too much back.
>Ryan_Fischer: ?EOPSTV 11H OVErST.P +74 467
#note Champ Many plies says V(OE), 63%. Doesn't list the bingo (only one). I wonder why. Maybe I don't understand Many play right. Thought it's supposed to play to the end. Adding and simming is about 98% to win. If I draw the Q without the I, I think, I lose. Not sure what's right, but I don't think delaying is, because I'm down and need the points. So if I fish and hit the Q (or maybe F or G) I lose if he can block.
>David_Gibson: FGIQRST F2 Q.S +32 475
#note 6F QIS 43?
>Ryan_Fischer: IO 11E OI +14 481
#note That's the hardest I've ever had to work for a win (in a game where I had a 167-point play ... that wasn't even best, no less).
>Ryan_Fischer: (GRIFT) +18 499
