>Morris_Greenberg: IO 8G OI +4 4
>JD: GILLNOZ G7 Z.O +23 23
#note this has a 36% bingo percentage next turn, saving OIL and ZOON hooks. nothing sims even close.
>Morris_Greenberg: AEO 7G .OEA +16 20
>JD: GHILLNN K5 HILL +28 51
#note tight sim between a lot of different plays including NILL and HALL.

>JD: AGLNNNN 6J L.NN +16 67
#note sometimes life gives you 4 Ns but also gives you a decent play with them
>Morris_Greenberg: EFINRST 10G SNIFTER +81 116
#note he missed FERNINST for 6 more.

>JD: AEEHNNO O12 NENE +28 119
#note interesting. quackle doesn't like this play one bit. I figured he was liable to destroy me on column O next turn, but quackle thinks that if I play HENNA (my best play) then I'm not really doing any worse defensively, and I give up a whopping 10 points per turn.
>Morris_Greenberg: ?EEOPST 15G TOuPEES +87 234
#note I have work to do

>JD: AGORSTU 4L ..U +6 220
#note even though the blank is in the bag, it seemed like time to prolong the game as long as possible. this way I fish for STORAGE on row 2 and below. quackle may not be much use, since Morris is surely blocking all the way from here. quackle's other reasonable suggestions include GUV at F12, GAZOOS and 9C OUTGO. OUTGO seems like he could just play at D8 downward and block, but it does leave the H and row 2 open.
>Morris_Greenberg: CI O1 .IC +8 289
>JD: ADGORST 9F D. +3 223
#note now I'm in business. I played the D because it's much harder for him to hook than the G. I can hit STORAGE 2x2 or ORGIAST or something. potentially I could even fish multiple times.
>Morris_Greenberg: EMW 13G MEW +27 316
>JD: AEGORST E5 STORAGE +86 309
#note there we go
>Morris_Greenberg: CFKU D11 FUCK +31 347
#note hey now
>JD: ?DIMPRT 2L M.D. +24 333
#note yay, I have the blank! blocking the lane on row 2 sucks, but it's also my only decent scoring play
>Morris_Greenberg: BITY 6B BIT.Y +24 371
>JD: ?ILPRST 15A RIPS +36 369
#note the moment of truth - I really need a bingo on this turn. TRIPLIES# would do it in CSW but TRIPOLIS doesn't fit in TWL.
>Morris_Greenberg: ADEEORV 8A ROVE. +27 398
#note morris actually missed OVERDEAR on this turn, but his play looks good enough...
>JD: ?AELTTW D1 WAlLE. +26 395
#note ahhhhhhhh. I only had one minute, and I blew a fabulous chance to win - all I have to do is find WETTED/DADO at D4, and Morris's only winning play becomes ARDEB at B2!!!!! this very well may have cost me the tournament. under time pressure, I could not come up with anything better.
