#note I got him in my sights!
>bing: EHORTUV B2 VROU +16 325
#note this was dave's actual rack - after postmortem he really liked VEHM/SH
>JD: ?GINPSY 10F GIPSY +44 336
#note I saw PRAYINGS but eschewed the bingo here. my logic was that I wanted to be able to punish a bingo on row 14 with a big counter-bingo. But PRAYINGS is so many points and the bingo lanes on the board aren't that good, so this looks like an error in retrospect.
>bing: AEX 10M AXE +40 365
>JD: ?ABCENR 14G BRACkEN +71 407
#note definitely a mistake - I wanted to set up two scoring spots on this play, but 15H isn't going to be that easy for me to hit. I wasn't confident enough in the BRANCHER/REBRANCH pair to play there, but that looks much preferable, or BRACT continuing to play the waiting game.
>bing: EEEHHOT 15L HETE +44 409
>JD: FGIIITY M2 GI +16 423
#note ugh, not looking great, but Q thinks I can win 3/8 endgames after my play! the good thing about my play is that I can win I draw the E by playing YITIE at 15D, and drawing the O also gives FOY at 13L which is tough for Dave to beat. There are a couple of other endgames that are going to really come down to the wire. With more time on my clock I might have tried TIG at 11K which blocks cheap HUN plays at M11 and offers a chance of drawing VINIFY to go out, but this isn't too bad.
>bing: EHJLNNO A4 JO +37 446
#note technically a game-losing error on Dave's part, he can go out with HENNA after JOL! we were both very low on time by this juncture.
>JD: FIITUY E8 YU +23 446
#note I have an easy game-winner with YU at B10, but I somehow missed it! YU is supposed to win by 1 after HALL -> FIT -> NENE
>bing: EHLNN 13L HEN +27 473
#note another game-losing play because it doesn't give an out! HEN at 10B saves an out for sure.
>JD: FIIT 11M TI +17 463
#note sets up his N! I could've still win from here if I spot the key play of MIZ/BI!!! then I can play FIT this turn and save a deadly out.
>bing: LN O7 ....N +13 486
>JD: FI 4H IF +14 477
#note even though blowing this endgame cost me a shot at the tournament, it was still a great game and one that I learned a lot from
>JD: (L) +2 479
