>Jason_Li: AFINRSW 8G FAWN +20 20
>Carl_Johnson: AAEIIKZ 7H ZAIKAI +40 40
#note I tanked on this play. First, I had to talk myself into ZAIKAI, which I thought might be Collins. Then, I had to decide which of three placements (7E, 7H, 9C) was best. I also considered KAIZEN J3, which was not discussed in the commentary.
>Jason_Li: EIRSSTX L7 .X +17 37
>Carl_Johnson: ?EELORU 9A aUREOLE +64 104
#note A critical play, sine Jason is sitting on SURETIES A8 if I play URODELE, which I simply missed. URODELE and AUREOLE sim evenly.
>Jason_Li: EEIRSST N1 RESITES +88 125
>Carl_Johnson: BDEOOVV A8 V.V +24 128
#note I'm astounded at what happened here. I fail to see VERB 1L or BOVID 4K. It seemed like a tough call between BOVVER 1I and VaV A8 (which it is). But had I played BOVVER (or any better play), Jason would have 3x3 FATTIEST. It was as if some cosmic prescience was at play. (-10)
>Jason_Li: EFISTTT 10E FITTEST +79 204
#note Sadly, this game turns out like the Final Destination movies: you can't cheat death forever.
>Carl_Johnson: BDEOOTU 1H DOUBTE. +33 161
#note Again blocking a big play: CAREERED 2H. But death is patient, and inevitable.
>Jason_Li: ACDEERR H10 .RACED +30 234
>Carl_Johnson: AACHNOP 2B PANOCHA +93 254
>Jason_Li: EHJMNRR J6 J..N. +28 262
>Carl_Johnson: ADILPUY 1A YUP +32 286
#note I couldn't decided between YUP or LAYUP. The commentators noted just how strong ADIL is on this board. However, the 8 extra points for LAYUP are justified here. (-2)
>Jason_Li: EHIMORR 3A HOMER +43 305
>Carl_Johnson: ADIILNQ 5H QADI +42 328
>Jason_Li: ?GGILRW 15A WRIGGLe. +95 400

>Jason_Li: ADEEETY 3G EYED +23 423
>Carl_Johnson: AGIMOOO 12J AGIO +21 423
#note Bad things happen in 3s, including Os sometimes. Correct play here is AMIGO/IMAGO, which win occasionally.
>Jason_Li: AEILORT 11B IRATE +25 448
