>David_Gibson: AV E5 ..VA +21 325
>Siddharth_Murali: ELNS 11A LENS +23 345
#note I was really, really low on time ~2:30 left, so I really had to think fast.
>David_Gibson: AILNOST 6D ....S +18 343
#note His rack was AILNOST here. Gibson wanted to leave 2 in the bag and score. He's right.
>Siddharth_Murali: ?CERUW 1J C.W +12 357
#note This is my partial rack. I made a bad play here, but since I don't know my last letter, I have no idea what the right play could be. Not this.
>David_Gibson: AILNOTY A11 .AYIN +27 370
#note David made this play that gave me no bingo, but neither of us saw mIR(ZA)! not even postgame! So this play loses but it didn't matter. David does have one tie! It's complicated- see if you can find it :) Answer is on David's next turn.
>Siddharth_Murali: ?EIRRTU 13A .URT +14 371
#note I had 30 seconds left here, so I missed mIR(ZA) for the win!
>David_Gibson: LOT 9A LOT. +14 384
#note The optimal endgame is (K)Y(E) i3 ---> cRETIN 15h to block ANTLION ---> (L)LANO a11 ---> j13 RU(E), which ties it at 384-384. Hard to see over the board!
>David_Gibson: (?EIR) +6 390
