Player 1
#player1 The_Vinegar_Man! The Vinegar Man!
#player2 Johnny_Utah Johnny Utah
>The_Vinegar_Man!: HIIL 8F HILI +14 14
#note Game 6 of the 2019 Indianapolis tournament. Why not G8 HILI? A question that will be lost to the sands of time.
>Johnny_Utah: BEEGNRR 7G BEG +25 25
>The_Vinegar_Man!: JOT 6F JOT +34 48
>Johnny_Utah: AAEINRR I5 RA.. +16 41
#note Best play!
>The_Vinegar_Man!: PU F8 .UP +14 62
>Johnny_Utah: ACEINRU -U +0 41
#note Okay what do you do here? I honestly had no clue. Trading U actually seems reasonable here. No clue.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AH 5I .AH +12 74
>Johnny_Utah: ACEEINR 4K ACE +15 56
#note This play was bad. Just blow up the rack for 25 and play AREIC.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: KZ M3 Z.K +32 106
>Johnny_Utah: EIINRRT 10D RI. +5 61
#note Probably the best out of a sorry bunch of plays.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: ??ELOTU D3 pOLlUTE. +64 170
#note Marty spent a while here to take out all of the bingo lanes. He didn't sacrifice many points to do so so POLLUTER seems very reasonable. It also blocks INTERREX, which I had lined up and ready to play.
>Johnny_Utah: EEINRTX C6 EX +35 96
#note Best although there is an argument to be made for A8 EXIT for 33.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: OY C3 OY +17 187
>Johnny_Utah: DEINRTT C6 ..IT +17 113
#note A lot of plays sim very, very tightly here. This creates a new bingo lane which I really need so this works.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: MTU B8 TUM +17 204
>Johnny_Utah: ADENORT E4 DO +17 130
#note I detest this no go rack. Given the deficit, fishing with TREAN seems like the right call. N1 TOAD for 28 basically admits defeat.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: EFN 3I FEN +16 220
>Johnny_Utah: ADEINRT N5 ANTIRED +68 198
#note Best play!
>The_Vinegar_Man!: EEGV 8K VEG.E +30 250
#note Marty originally played VEIN and switched it to this. This worked out very well for him.
>Johnny_Utah: DDEEOSS 2I OD +19 217
#note I should probably blow this up with A10 EDDOES. This was another hard play. SEEDS is strong but not as strong of a leave as I thought at the time.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: EINNRSV L7 N.RVINES +72 322
#note Oof, that clinches the game.
>Johnny_Utah: ADEEOSS 1G ADO +18 235
#note Was I blind to NERVINESS or did I not know it? I'm not sure but my play is blah. Not sure what the best option is here.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AAEILNN 14E ALANINE. +62 384
#note Now that really seals it.
>Johnny_Utah: EEMQSSU O11 EQUES +75 310
#note Best play! No bingo, but I get to play a word that scores as much as a bingo.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: ATW H12 WA.T +33 417
>Johnny_Utah: AGIMOSY 13G Y.GI +30 340
#note Best play! No room for ISOGAMY.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: CORSW 15A CROWS +44 461
>Johnny_Utah: AFMOPRS O1 PROFS +49 389
#note Best play!
>The_Vinegar_Man!: BIL 13C LIB +15 476
#note 2A LIB is 3 more. -3.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: (AM) +8 484
#note Score recorded as 486-391. If I lost the game on any play, it would be playing ACE instead of AREIC. However, this was going to be a hard game win no matter what.
