>Dielle_Saldanha: ?CEHINO 8D HEdONIC +80 80
#note is Dielle going to get her revenge? A big part of me hoped so. Dielle deserved to win this game for being such a great person.
>Joshua_Sokol: EEIKPRY J6 PE.KY +30 30
#note I didn't want to overlap here if I could help it. Quackle prefers 7G YIP or YEP but Quackle doesn't understand board dynamics. This was held and released after a couple of minutes. James Leong thought this was very funny for some reason!
>Dielle_Saldanha: ELMOT 7E TELOM. +27 107
#note great play!
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEEFIR 6C DEAF +32 62
>Dielle_Saldanha: AEJW C2 JAWE. +32 139
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CEIRSU 5G CURSIvE +83 145
#note thought she might challenge SPECKY after holding PECKY. I was right!
>Dielle_Saldanha: ALOR - +0 139
>Joshua_Sokol: AGHOSVX D1 VOX +35 180
>Dielle_Saldanha: ALOR 1D .OLAR +24 163
>Joshua_Sokol: AGHLOST N1 GALOSH +45 225
#note better to just play 5A GO(E)TH. Missed that. Hoped she would challenge this too, but no.
>Dielle_Saldanha: INQRT 2J QINT.R +35 198
>Joshua_Sokol: INNPSTT 5B P.NT +22 247
#note I might what to play E5 P(ATE)NTS here, but I liked the aggression.
>Dielle_Saldanha: AEGU 1K GAU.E +38 236
>Joshua_Sokol: INSTTUV 3I VIN +25 272
>Dielle_Saldanha: BNNU 10F BUNN. +16 252
>Joshua_Sokol: ADESTTU B3 TA. +20 292
#note like I said, Dielle deserved to win this game. Ouch.
>Dielle_Saldanha: EFM 11E FEM +24 276
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEOSTU O6 OUTED +23 315
#note was tough to choose between this and just OUD. I was definitely worried about the vowels in the pool after her last play. I think I should have played OUD, but that might have made my next decision even more difficult!
>Dielle_Saldanha: GILRSTW M4 W.RGILTS +76 352
>Dielle_Saldanha: GILRSTW -- -76 276
#note She played this so fast! I knew that there were many spellings of this, but this one really didn't seem good, but I couldn't be too sure. Especially given her confidence in laying this down. But due to what I had drawn, I had to challenge. My chances were really bad.
>Joshua_Sokol: BEIIISY E1 .BI +28 343
>Dielle_Saldanha: GILRSTW A5 SWIRL +31 307
#note I think she needs to fish here. 4M W(O)G looks right. But maybe since I have the S she needs to play long with SWIG
>Joshua_Sokol: DEIIRSY 10A YID +21 364
#note This seemed like another mistake. I think I(v)Y for 10 is much better for spread, but apparently YIRD for 1 more is significantly better than just YID. No need to middle between going for a bingo and scoring, I guess. 12B SIRED for 23 wins champ's simulation, not letting Dielle fish and leaving the Y to outscore her bingos. Nice.
>Dielle_Saldanha: AG E11 .AG +7 314
#note whoa
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIOORS C9 O.EA +6 370
#note her last play totally perplexed me. But I didn't see any bingo that played, and I saw that I might lose if I didn't give myself a good opportunity to go out next turn or if I gave back a huge Z spot. I actually completely whiffed on (G)AITERED!!! This is a grade A mistake that I should never make, and I am disgusted at this. Just goes to show how awfully I played in Vancouver. Best play hands down is 14A ARIOSO. I totally missed that play.
>Dielle_Saldanha: ADEIRTZ N10 IZARD +39 353
>Joshua_Sokol: EIORS 13I ROSIE. +14 384
#note chickened out of OSIER even though I was 100% sure OSIERED was good.
>Joshua_Sokol: (ET) +4 388
