>cesar: DEIIOPR 8D PERIOD +24 24
#note i need to win this game by 64 pts to win the tourney. i thought this was still better than POI but i misvalued it. i hate knowing that i need to win by some certain amount. it throws me off. -3
>ward: BENN E4 BENN. +14 14
>cesar: DEIKNTU 9C KITED +36 60
#note i missed DEBUNK for quite a bit. -3
>ward: ?ACENRV J2 CRAVENs +78 92
#note sigh
>cesar: CINRSSU 10B CIS +22 82
#note this is not a bad play in a vacuum, but nearly every other play is _better_ than it :P

interesting how 10D US sims that much better. i really didn't like CIS that much but didn't know what else to do. Quackle like B6 CURS. i don't really remember thinking that much about it, but it makes sense. it's defnitely better than CIS. -7
>ward: AFL 7G FLA. +29 121
>cesar: ?HNORSU 11C NOURiSH +81 163
#note this took me WAY too long to find. by the end of this turn i think i had about 13 minutes or fewer on my clock. i did see HoNOURS pretty quickly but i was not sure PISH was a word, also now that i think about it, i do know PISHING. blah.

>ward: ABEQU 3H BA.QUE +36 258
>cesar: ADEIRTZ H1 ZI.ET +51 300
#note i didn't see ZEDA, just ZETA. i think i still like ZIBET a little better.
>ward: GGN 14G G.NG +28 286
>cesar: AAADRRW N8 DAW +36 336
>ward: DEIPST 15J SPITED +35 321
#note i was annoyed at this point because it didn't seem like i was going to win by 64. i needed that S.
>cesar: AAGIRRY M6 GRAY +30 366
>ward: EEIMMOR 1B MEMORI.E +74 395
#note unbelievably frustrating. literally nothing i could have done.
>cesar: AAILORU B1 .IAOU +14 380
#note i missed 2A AURA but i was very low on time. i could not find a way to go out after doing AGO/AGA at G13. i wish i'd seen D1 MURA because maybe i can do AGO next turn and he might not go out. -5
>ward: EFHLOTV 3A H.VE +20 415
>cesar: ALR 4M LAR +6 386
#note i had 2 seconds left and missed F3, but i was also pretty demoralized.
>cesar: (FLOT) +14 400
#note there is very little i could have done here once the game got started. i shouldn't have made the PERIOD mistake or CIS, though. i think i would play better if i was just playing to win, rather than to win by 64. i get confused and play worse; note that PERIOD is a low entropy move whereas if i need to win by 64 i should be more prone to fishing. so i screwed up early, basically.
