#note vacillated between AALII and INIA. Very close on a sim. AEIN leave acceptable with R and S to play through. I would be more inclined to play AALII against a stronger player.

#note star play is GAID at H12 - there's a fair chance of me hitting REROOFS/FOOTERS given the pool.

>JD: EEORRST 6D OR +6 318
#note hm, nothing plays. missed an easy change for extra points (but same idea) with ORE instead of OR.

>JD: ALRTTUW (challenge) +5 409
#note mission accomplished, right?
>Chris_ten_Den: EH 2E EH +28 376
>JD: ALRTTUW 3B TWAT +17 426
#note attempting to block cheap J and Z plays. probably the safest is just EWT at B1, but I was also ultralow on time. even with perfect play, I can still lose from here. astonishingly, WATT is in fact 2/36 better than TWAT...can you see why?
>Chris_ten_Den: BCEJOOR 12D JOR.. +28 404
#note holy cow, he had the perfect rack to steal the game with. JEROBOAM!!! but can't I C stick him? Well, TWAT leaves ACTON at D3, so in this case no! in this particular universe I found a much more mundane way to blow the game. More generally, I believe that I cannot win regardless of my play if CC is in the bag.
>JD: CLRUZ E11 C.Z +28 454
#note I was basically just trying to put plays down and not go over on time. ZOL would've been fine...
>Chris_ten_Den: BCEO 13C CO. +37 441
#note whoa! didn't see that coming! I had about 2 seconds to make my next play.
>JD: LRU 1N UR +8 462
#note given the time crunch I didn't look for a new play and settled for playing my pre-planned play. I spotted JOUR right after hitting my clock...
>Chris_ten_Den: BE 14D BE +31 472
#note oh no!!! I don't remember ever being as shocked to lose a game, even compared with orry's POSTCARD at las vegas nationals. a brilliant sequence by chris to snatch the game away.
>Chris_ten_Den: (L) +2 474
