#note Quackle's Best.
>Neil_Rowley: EOOSTTU 14H .OUT +17 186
#note Ross's move was a simple choice. Neil probably not happy Ross got those power tiles for a big score because he's even further behind now.

Quackle's Best: 14F TO(R)O 26

>Ross_MacKenzie: EFLNOST 15K OFTEN +38 283
#note Ross just needs to keep scoring to cover the lead as there are a lack of bonus opportunities on this board.

Quackle's Best: 15A FELSTON(E) 86
>Neil_Rowley: EEORSTV 1D OVER.ETS +62 248
#note Quackle's Best.

Underscored by 1.

Anyone that likes UK Soccer will recognise OVERNET as the anagram of Everton.
>Ross_MacKenzie: DEFILSV 5K FL.E +31 314
#note Ross's lead was big enough to take that bonus.

Quackle's Best: N12 FIV(E) 20
>Neil_Rowley: EIIMNRY O5 RIMY +35 283
>Neil_Rowley: DDEILNU (challenge) +5 288
#note Quackle's Best.

Neil's only choice might be to make openings and try for a bonus. I doubt he can outscore Ross without them.
>Ross_MacKenzie: ADINSVW 15D WAIV.S +28 342
#note Neil's half-a-bonus play makes the endgame a bit more interesting now.

That play creates a Q hotspot. could be a game-swinger.

Quackle's Best: 2B VAW 23
>Neil_Rowley: DDEILNU 2B DUD +13 301
#note Ross's play takes out one of the last possible floaters that Neil could use. Another being the first E of RETIRE, which isn't really a floater because it's limited by what's either side of it. There's also enough space around the A of ALOWE (the S going before S-OHO) but it's tricky too.

Quackle's Best: 11C DELUD(E) 23
>Ross_MacKenzie: ADEGKNQ F14 Q. +31 373
#note Quackle's Best.
>Neil_Rowley: EEIILNN 7C IN +5 306
#note It really has to be a fish here.

Ross replies to this play with a big YES. He knew the fish was coming.

Quackle's Best: L12 NIE(F) 19
>Ross_MacKenzie: ADEGGKN B7 DANK +23 396
#note Quackle Championship Player's Best: B7 GADGE 16

Is DANK a 100% victory too? doesn't seemed to be listed as a possible winning play...
>Neil_Rowley: DEEILNS 6F DE.N +19 325
>Neil_Rowley: DEEILNS -- -19 306
#note A phony. not that it really mattered now.

Quackle's Best: 11B SILEN 20
>Ross_MacKenzie: EGGI 3A GIG +19 415
#note Quackle's Best: E8 (LO)GGIE 16
