#player2 Alec Alec
>New_Player_1: ABIMT 8E AMBIT +18 18
#note Interesting placement, avoiding a possible -ION extension at 8H.

#note Tournament blank count: 3
>New_Player_1: DEHI K2 HIDE +29 47
>Alec: DGMOORT 9F MOD +21 95
#note D8 GROOM is clearly best. I just missed the G(AMBITs) hook this turn. (-7)
>New_Player_1: AQ H6 QA.. +14 61
#note QAID scores more at 4H but sets up an S that I assume Ruth doesn't have.
>Alec: GJLOORT D6 JOG +26 121
#note Quackle prefers L1 JOT, which I quickly dismissed because of the scoring threats at 1L and M3, and D8 GOR and GO, which set up JO/JOLT/JOT at C9. (-3)
>New_Player_1: EEL 4H EL..E +14 75
>Alec: BEELORT 3J ..BE +24 145
>New_Player_1: NOOR 2K .ONOR +23 98
>Alec: CEILORT 1L ROLE +33 178
#note 1K CLOT is best, sacrificing 3 points for a better leave. Quackle also says that ROTE > ROLE, which I do not understand. (-1)
>New_Player_1: FP 7C F.P +16 114
>Alec: ACFIIRT H1 FIC. +27 205

>New_Player_1: ERTX H11 T.XER +36 167
>Alec: GLOSUUW G12 .OW +22 310
#note I saw that I could slot the O between T and YER, but it took two more turns for me to notice that I could slot the U there as well. GURU I10 is best. (-12)
>New_Player_1: CRSU 9A CRUS +19 186
>Alec: AGLSSUU 11B SAUL +14 324
#note 13A USUAL is best. Also better are 11A USUAL, A6 SULCUS, and B9 RUSSULA. (-10)

>Alec: EEGOSTU I10 EU.O +24 348
>New_Player_1: ISV M7 VIS +18 249
>Alec: ?AEGLST 1C STAGE.uL +62 410
#note Tournament blank count: 4. STAGEFuL is the only bingo.
>New_Player_1: DEINOVZ 13C ZED +33 282
#note The best endgame is 13C DEV, 2D AI, 3B ZIN, B2 AZINE, 6D JO; or E1 AVID, B8 ARISING or ERASING, 4A ZONED. (-16)
>Alec: AAEGIIN E1 .GAIN +12 422
#note The best endgame is E1 AA, 14F OWE, 15E GI, N4 LOIN; after which I play 2E AI, 10A HE, and 14B NA while Ruth is stuck with the V. I was focused on blocking AVION and setting up my outplay. (-11)
>New_Player_1: INOV 3B NOV. +14 296
#note I misadded the score at this point, so I had Ruth at 294 instead of 296. The best endgame is 8A YO, 3D AA, 2E GI; after which I play C1 SI and 10A HE while Ruth plays 2H IN or O1 ERN. (-2)
