>Lucas_Freeman: GOO 8G GOO +8 8
>Dave_Koenig: EGKOQVZ 7I ZEK +47 47
>Lucas_Freeman: AA 9I AA +16 24
>Dave_Koenig: AFGOQRV J3 GROV. +17 64
#note FORGAVE looks like not a bad choice here, just to clear out this rack as quickly as possible and maximize the chance of drawing something to help the Q.
>Lucas_Freeman: AEORSST 4D ROASTE.S +68 92
#note A sloppy play. He had OSETRAS or OSSETRA L6 for 15 more points.
>Dave_Koenig: AEEFIOQ D2 AE.IE +5 69
#note I didn't know what to do here. Already staring at a deficit and thinking that I was about to fall further behind, I figured it was worth rolling the dice by setting up a big hook.
>Lucas_Freeman: DEIORRT E6 DORTIER +69 161
>Dave_Koenig: CEFNNOQ 1A CONF +52 121
>Lucas_Freeman: UX 10J XU +50 211
>Dave_Koenig: ABENQTV 12D T.ANQ +48 169
#note If you had asked me if I thought I would score 100 points over the next two turns after AERIE, I would have said "no way!" Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
>Lucas_Freeman: HOW H1 WHO. +30 241
>Dave_Koenig: BEESSTV 8A BEVE. +33 202
#note I just learned this CSW-only five a few days before the tournament when David Eldar played it against me in Facebook Scrabble. It is by far my best play.
>Lucas_Freeman: DNP 3C P.ND +19 260
>Dave_Koenig: CMRSSTU 11K SCUM +20 222
>Lucas_Freeman: ?ADEIIN 13H INEDItA +77 337
>Dave_Koenig: ?DLRSTU B7 D.LUSTeR +70 292
#note His bingo took away my RUSTLED/LUSTRED on column O. At least I still bingo, but with all the S's and blanks gone, my comeback chances are looking bleak.
>Lucas_Freeman: IJN 14F JIN +38 375
>Dave_Koenig: EEILMNY A10 MEINEY +48 340
>Lucas_Freeman: AWY C13 WAY +31 406
>Dave_Koenig: BEILLRT J13 .L +4 344
#note Fishing mostly for an A, but also setting up a new lane to distract him. Putting the L at 14N would make it easy for him to make row 15 plays himself, but this sets me up without giving him as much.
>Lucas_Freeman: FGI 14L FIG +26 432
#note He took out BLITHER
>Dave_Koenig: BEHILRT N10 H. +15 359
>Lucas_Freeman: AEILOP O5 LEIPOA +29 461
#note I hit my draw and with available bingos on row 1 and column O, he couldn't stop me. So instead he scores enough to outdistance me.
>Dave_Koenig: ABEILRT 1H .RITABLE +92 451
>Dave_Koenig: (TU) +4 455
#note So close! |
