>Pete_Zeigler: II -II +0 0
>Jason: AAEENOU -AAEOU +0 0
#note Pass #2 ... four more to go!
>Pete_Zeigler: ?CDELRR 8D CRaDLER +74 74
#note Spoilsport.
>Jason: AEFNOOW 7I WOOF +25 25
#note Right word, wrong spot. 9F.
>Pete_Zeigler: HU G8 .UH +8 82
>Jason: AAEENOY 8L AEON +21 46
>Pete_Zeigler: HNT 9K NTH +25 107
>Jason: AEELMVY 6G YLEM +32 78
#note The race to the X is on! I kind of liked it, too; Pete's fixing to bingo and when he does I'll be further behind than I am now. Embrace volatility.
>Pete_Zeigler: II -II +0 107
>Jason: AEGIRVV H1 GRAVE. +42 120
>Pete_Zeigler: ?BDDEST 3C BEDST.nD +74 181
#note Nice find!
>Jason: DGIIOOV 4A VOID +34 154
>Pete_Zeigler: IRTU A4 .IRTU +24 205
>Jason: EFGIORU 2B FOGIE +39 193
#note Pleasantly surprised to see this. C'mon, X!
>Pete_Zeigler: AAITW 2J AWAIT +25 230
>Jason: AEKPRTU 1K APTER +46 239
#note At this point, I was starting to wonder if I would become the first player in Scrabble history to turn over 60 tiles and not draw one power tile.
>Pete_Zeigler: ENOU E8 .OUEN +10 240
>Jason: IKLRSSU D11 RUSK +22 261
#note SUSLIK at 4J is the star play. SULK at F11 is best among words I've heard of before.
>Pete_Zeigler: ABILNO H10 ALBINO +38 278
>Jason: EIILNQS 1A QI +38 299
#note I decided to do that whole "keep a good leave" thing I've been hearing about. Now I was thinking since the odds were decent Pete would hit the X spot, I might need to bingo to blunt it.
>Pete_Zeigler: IX G13 XI +36 314
>Jason: CEIJLNS 15A JINS +46 345
#note There's a fine line between fast-playing someone in time trouble and being stupid. Heard of ZIN and ZA, Jason? In hindsight, J(IN)NI (though Duck likes just JIN).
>Pete_Zeigler: EG L1 ..GE +14 328
>Jason: AACEILO 14B LA.E +22 367
#note Lucky my blunder the prior turn didn't hurt me.
>Pete_Zeigler: Y 7I ....Y +31 359
#note WOOFY#. Pete's been studying his Collins fives containing FOY again... (He got a nickel or dime out of me from FONLY# at the Akron Collins tourney, a running joke between us.)
>Jason: ACIOPSZ K9 .AZI +26 393
>Pete_Zeigler: AEEMNT L11 ATMEN +31 390
#note Pete's got this whole "play phony fives when he can't challenge" thing down to a science. Scored as 33.
>Jason: COPS 14K P.CS +16 409
#note SCOP is a word. (See why my spread sucked so much for 20 rounds?) I started telling myself it might be Collins-only and I should play it safe.
>Pete_Zeigler: E K14 .E +6 396
#note (Minus 20 for time.)
>Pete_Zeigler: (O) +2 398
