#note A bit unnerving to be down this much against my first opponent, but I feel like I am playing well up to this point.
>Lee_Brooks: AEINRTT - +0 248
#note She challenged!
>Avery: ADEIKOT 15K K.AIT +27 220
#note Missed a lot of better plays here. I was fixated on keeping -ED for another bingo on row 4 since I anticipated Lee being able to outscore me well. I should obviously play something like DARKIE.
>Lee_Brooks: AEINRTT - +0 248
#note Exchange 4
>Avery: DDEIMOP 4J POD +21 241
#note I think I was getting a bit antsy now. It was the first game, and I hadn't really played on a board in a while, so I started to feel very unconfident about my ability to be able to win this game. I tanked here and after getting lost in my thoughts for a while, I made this weak play. For unknown reasons, I was too opposed to blocking row 4, since I felt I needed to bingo. Wow, I made a mess of this game.
>Lee_Brooks: OTWY 13I TOW.Y +24 272
>Avery: DEEIMRR H1 R.M +15 256
#note Still fixated on that stupid bingo and very paranoid about her playing the X, even though there's a spot for it at 14I. What am I even doing?
>Lee_Brooks: EEY 1M EYE +22 294
>Avery: DEEIRRT 12D RETRIED +73 329
#note Okay, I can do this...
>Lee_Brooks: EJLO 4C JOLE +27 321
>Avery: EINOVVX E9 VIV. +20 349
#note Didn't like 13C VEX since it allowed for high scoring responses. I saw 5B VOX but didn't want to risk her bingoing on columns D or E, since I had a feeling she had the blank.
>Lee_Brooks: Q N14 Q. +22 343
>Avery: ELNOSUX F12 .UX +26 375
>Lee_Brooks: ?AAERTW C2 RA.A +22 365
#note Her actual rack.
>Avery: AELNOST B5 TOLANES +63 438
#note Well, at least I'm consistent in playing my worst in my first game of every tournament. Definitely had a lot of ways to lose this game but lucked out. Lee played very well the whole tournament as I observed her - playing much higher than her rating indicates. I really wish I had more over-the-board practice. ISC just doesn't cut it sometimes.
