#player2 Steve Steve
>Doug: BNOOR 8D BORON +20 20
>Steve: ?AAENPT F6 PA.ENTAl +67 67
#note A number of 72-pointers available
>Doug: AM 7F .MA +17 37
>Steve: DINNORW 9E R.WIND +32 99
#note Hopes for DROWNING go under water
>Doug: ?ANORTU K9 sANTOUR +72 109
>Steve: DEEINOV 15J D.IVEN +33 132
#note Missed bingo DENO(T)IVE, perhaps due to poor board vision and being distracted by the triple-triple opening.
>Doug: AGHST 12C AGH.ST +22 131
>Steve: EEGIIOU 11E E.UI +22 154
>Doug: IKOR C9 KOR.I +28 159
>Steve: EGIOPRY B8 GOY +34 188
#note Looked for a while for a way to stick the Y at 10K and never saw GRODY. This wins a sim, however, and it's not all that close. Probably due to keeping one of the last two Rs and a stronger leave.
>Doug: CLTU 13I CL.UT +20 179
>Steve: EEEEIPR 15H RE...... +36 224
>Doug: AHMO A5 HOMA +36 215
>Steve: DEEEFIP B5 EF +31 255
>Doug: COY C3 COY +25 240
>Steve: DEEIPTU 14N PE +18 273
>Doug: ERX 6H REX +30 270
>Steve: DEEITUV 5I DEVI +28 301
>Doug: OS 4I OS +16 286
#note My last play of DEVI seems a little foolhardy in retrospect, given the Q is still out.
>Steve: BEJLQTU L3 QU.T +26 327
#note championship player likes L2 JUBILE, and isn't afraid to play the case U while holding the Q; likely because of the four unseen I's. Given Doug's last play, however, I think it's very likely he holds an S, and I don't want to give up plays at 8L-0. It's why I didn't play QUILT. A sim says 4c OBJET is best. I also like L2 QUBIT.
>Doug: I 3L .I +22 308
#note Danger ahead!
>Steve: BEEIJLTZ 6L .IZ +32 359
#note A simulation says the best way to win is to play JIB at 3G 93%, or 7K JET 85%. Makes sense, we have the Z to counter bingos in the N column. The choices I deliberated on during the game were this, or LEZ at M5. I thought this to be safer, given the three unseen A's.
>Doug: AE 7N AE +13 321
>Steve: BEEJLST 8L JEST +75 434
#note Pulling the S on a three-towel draw was fortunate.
>Doug: AGS N1 GAS +20 341
#note Pop quiz: score 24 elsewhere with the same three letters.
>Steve: ABEFILL H1 FLAB +44 478
>Doug: DEILNW 4B D.WEL +25 366
>Steve: EIL J8 I.LE +13 491
>Steve: (IN) +4 495
#note Game was recorded as 494-366. I underscored REWIND by a point.
