#note wasn't confident enough in TARANDS# and forgot about
ASTRAND#
>Peter_Armstrong: BEU 6H .UBE +19 59

>Peter_Armstrong: CEINRST O1 CEN.RIST +140 199
>JD: AFILOOX N6 XI +52 187
#note playing RAX at N4 saves FLOOIE at 2J as bare minimum
>Peter_Armstrong: EKU 3I KUE +28 227
>JD: ABFLNOO 2I OF +34 221
#note I saw neither of the front hooks for OKA - HOKA# and KOKA#. still safer than any other play.
>Peter_Armstrong: EGOOY 7B GOOEY +23 250
>JD: ABLNORT 6B ALB +21 242
#note his timing was excellent, preventing LASTBORN. Q likes taking a couple of extra points for BOR which I considered
>Peter_Armstrong: AEM M7 MAE +17 267
>JD: GNNORRT 9F RO.N +19 261
>Peter_Armstrong: AQST 10J QATS +39 306
>JD: EGNPRRT K9 R.NG +10 271
#note I thought it was important to cover this spot and prevent peter from scoring at row 11 with one of the 5 Is remaining. I also considered PRENT# at 10B, but it leaves me down a tempo with no obvious way to catch up. The two alternatives Q proposes that I like are PARGET at K9, which loses the E but sets up a dangerous lane and flips 5 tiles looking for the blank or S; and PART at K9, which sets up PARTI# and possible -ING bingos. At the end of the day I think I stll pick RANG because the EPRT leave can bingo well on row 10 if Peter blocks the bottom-right corner somehow.

>Peter_Armstrong: ADUY 12K .AUDY +28 334
>JD: ENOPRTU O12 .ONT +21 292
#note I can probably just fish off PU here, not sure why I was so eager to play from the P. I cut my bingo chances next turn form 33% to 22%.
>Peter_Armstrong: HO 13M HO. +25 359
>JD: CEPRUWW M3 W.W +18 310
#note especially painful is that I drew CWW - after a play of PUN last turn I would've been 2/3 to draw CROWNET with the same draw!
>Peter_Armstrong: DELOP 10B POLED +30 389
>JD: CEFIPRU N2 FI. +28 338
>Peter_Armstrong: AEV 13I VAE +16 405
>JD: CEIIPRU 11G PURI.E +22 360
#note I didn't even see the UVAE# hook, but I think this or PICINE# might be my best play - PUIR# leaves me with only one lane on row 15, which peter can straightforwardly block. after PURINE or PICINE it seems impossible for him to block everything.
>Peter_Armstrong: ELOTZ 12C ZLOTE +32 437
>JD: CIILNSV C12 .INC +30 390
#note I wanted to get plays down quickly to force peter over on time - he went over by 2 minutes.
>Peter_Armstrong: ?IMT 15A MI. +21 458
#note he's supposed to play MICHT# to go out. instead he went over on time
>JD: ILSV 8L V.S. +21 411
#note VISES at E4. didn't play too badly this game, but a couple of my mistakes were hugely costly (HANDCART setting up CENTRIST, failing to draw CROWNET because of YONT)
>Peter_Armstrong: ?T 2H s..T +10 468
#note 452-411 final
>Peter_Armstrong: (IL) +4 472
