>Scott_Appel: EOOPV 8D POOVE +26 26
>JD: DEEEINT G7 E.ENTIDE +66 66
#note took me a little while to spot this
>Scott_Appel: ?GIKSTU 15A TUGrIKS +96 122
>JD: ACEGIRU 13G .UG +7 73
#note looks to me like guaco is the play I wanted, leaving the good lanes untouched while keeping a decent leave. would've played it had I thought of it. I knew I had to really work to keep the board open given my past experience with scott's defensive style
>Scott_Appel: AAFW 11E FA.WA +22 144
>JD: ACEIMQR 9C QI +25 98
>Scott_Appel: NOOZ F6 ZO.N +37 181
>JD: ACEHJMR 7E J.. +19 117
#note lots to hit, not necessarily easy or worthwhile for him to block and I could always backdoor into merchant if he blocks for no points
>Scott_Appel: BEIT 10B BITE +33 214
>JD: ACEEHMR 10I MACHREE +72 189
>Scott_Appel: LPRUY O7 PUR.LY +45 259
>JD: DILOOUW 12K WOOD. +24 213
#note all of my plays here suck
>Scott_Appel: AENORTY H6 RY. +20 279
>JD: AABILLU K5 ABULI. +20 233
>Scott_Appel: CDEI L3 CEDI +21 300
>JD: AEFIINO 3J FO.I +18 251
#note tough choice between FINCA or FOCI, with either one he's likely to just play on row 4. maybe FINCA looking to hit the X?
>Scott_Appel: EGILLR 4E GRILLE +13 313
>JD: ADEINOV H1 OVA. +21 272
#note naevoid might have been nice.
>Scott_Appel: EX 13L EX +38 351
>JD: ADEHINS 1B ADHESI.N +66 338
#note after my subsequent draw I really thought I had him given that I knew he had no vowels...would've been less optimistic if I'd realized that I had 10 points less than I thought.
>Scott_Appel: MR G3 M.R +15 366
>JD: AAAENOS 2A ANOA +20 358
#note this was a tough deliberation between ANOA at 2A and AEON at 2B. ANOA afforded me a much better chance at an out, whereas AEON didn't allow for plays down from the A or cheap plays across on row 3. Eventually I went for drawing the out. the funny thing is that, thinking the score is 348-366, my best play is ANOA hoping to draw ANISE or the S, whereas at 338-366 I'm supposed to play AEON trying to draw the blank or the S for ASSAI and a 1 point win.
>Scott_Appel: ?NRSTTT A2 .TToRNS +21 387
#note his best play
>JD: AENS 14B NAES +18 376
>JD: AENS -- -18 358
#note instead of finding anise under heavy time pressure, my warped brain comes up with what I think is a one point win with NAES*. I would have been kicking myself for missing anise, but of course the inevitable recount would've been bitter as well
