>James_Curley: DDU 8G DUD +10 10
>JD: ABCRTUZ 9E CZAR +22 22
#note an inauspicious start, I missed the best play by far - ABDUCT at G6 setting up a potential Z play. with nothing else going on, doesn't hurt to make a setup even if it will most likely to get blocked!
>James_Curley: AAEINST 10G ENTASIA +66 76
#note ooh, he had ESTANCIA 2x2 here
>JD: ABIIQTU E8 A.QUIT +34 56
#note QUBITS is a much safer play, although with a worse leave
>James_Curley: HOO 11J HOO +23 99
>JD: BEEIINU 14B BINE +30 86
>James_Curley: NPUY D12 PU.Y +36 135

>James_Curley: AOS H12 A.OS +24 183
>JD: ?AJLSWY F2 JAW +37 172
#note JAYWALKS nearly fits! failing that, JASY at 15A is a nice score that I missed.
>James_Curley: ELR 15A REL. +28 211
>JD: ?EILOSY 14H .tIOSELY +75 247
#note for whatever reason, I considered DOILEYS* without spotting DOYLIES. slow start for the brain this tournament. DOYLIES fits at C5 nicely too.
>James_Curley: AEEFIRS J2 FAERIES +76 287
#note FREESIA fits at N6 for a few extra points
>JD: ?ELNOTW O7 WONTEdL. +89 336
>James_Curley: AMOX G1 MOXA +56 343
#note it's a game
>JD: GIIKNRV 4I K.RVING +34 370
#note the bag is very heavy on consonants; no bingo lines, so a play like KIEV at M12 is not that useful. the biggest worry is that he'll have an E for the H1 spot.
>James_Curley: DDLN M9 D.NDL. +27 370
>JD: CEEIOTT N2 TO.IC +26 396
#note the game was decided when I pulled 3 of the 4 remaining vowels and both Es. any reasonable play wins from here.
>James_Curley: BFIMNRT O1 MIN. +25 395
#note he should block EGRET if he spots it
>JD: EEGT K2 EG.ET +26 422
>JD: (BFRT) +18 440
