>Koenig: GLO 8G LOG +8 8
>JD: DFGNOYY J7 GYNY +27 27
#note big game for 6-0! this is a really defensive play but it doesn't really help me score next turn at all - much better would be a play like FOGY/LOGO that leverages my leave by setting up a spot for the Y. this was a hard rack - Y leaves can be some of the trickiest to figure out what to do with, since their strength tends to be contextual with the exact board configuration
>Koenig: ?AFLNRT H2 iNFLAT.R +64 72
#note he didn't think of the OLOGY hook
>JD: ADEFMNO K10 OF +15 42
#note I have INFAMED for 40, but Q actually agrees with my play - it creates a lot of good lanes for bingoes, and if he blocks I still have ELOGY to hook.
>Koenig: AIOOSTV 3B OVATIO.S +76 148
>JD: ADEIMNT D1 DI.MANTE +78 120
#note MINIATED/ELOGY slightly more defensive
>Koenig: INQ F2 Q.N +32 180
>JD: IIOORTU 12K TORII +18 138
#note probably an unnecessary move since I needed to not lose the game by 250 to win the tournament, but I was only focused on winning this game. OUTDO at A1 blocks the NOVATIONS hook, which I think I'd prefer to keep open. A couple of other options are exchanging or playing IRON at 9G. This isn't awful.
>Koenig: EEJ 1A JEE. +36 216
>JD: EEKLOSU F8 EUK +26 164
>JD: BCEELOS (challenge) +5 169
#note challenged. this is a mistake - I should play KUE to keep the INFLATOR hook open. A minute but potentially painful error.
>Koenig: AEEMRSU M7 MEASU.ER +78 294
>JD: BCEELOS 15G ECBOLES +97 266
>Koenig: NTX 8L N.XT +36 330
>JD: ?AADLOR C8 ORDALiA +68 334
>JD: ?AADLOR -- -68 266
#note shoot! it was going well until this point. really thought this was good but ORDALIUM's plural is ORDALIUMS, and ORDALIAN can't drop the N.
>Koenig: DEPRZ O10 PR.ZED +54 384
>JD: ?AADLOR L1 ORDALiA. +72 338
>Koenig: EIVW 8A WIV. +30 414
>JD: AAEERSU E5 AUE +14 352
#note I need to keep the T open to bingo to
>Koenig: OW 14I OW +30 444
>JD: ADEIPRS O1 DRAPIES. +92 444
>JD: ABHIIT (challenge) +5 449
#note probably not winning from here, but gotta try
>Koenig: CEGHINU N4 UGH +35 479
#note nice endgame play
>JD: ABHIIT 13G BAHT +34 483
#note given how well I drew this game I probably should've been 6-0 - oh well, still feel OK with how I played for the day
>Koenig: CEIN 14D NICE +17 496
>Koenig: (II) +4 500
