#player1 RF Ryan Fischer
#player2 JJB John J. Bulten
>RF: AAIMNOP 8D AMINO +16 16
#note 1:33 [23:27] RF: Wish I was going 2nd here. But only if I realize I can spell PALAMINO# that way, too. This is pretty bad. Q static wants MOPANI#. JJB: By 9.8. Or piano, anopia, poa#/opa/apo, mania, amnio, panim#. Not clear why P drags the leave so much.
>JJB: AINPRST H5 ATR.PINS +61 61
#note 1:38 [23:22] RF: A couple better options: ASPIRANT, PARTISAN, SPARTINA, SPRAINT#, SPIRANT. JJB: 11 diff due to incomplete consideration.
>RF: ADOPQTU F6 QU.D +34 50
#note 3:15 [20:12] RF: Here's the deal: DT doesn't go well together. So, I'm liking ATOP as a leave and the like. I saw QUIPO#. IMO, it takes something not to play QUIPO#. Again, it's a little being results oriented. The sim agrees, but disagrees with my placement, wanting 10F. I don't want to give a hook I don't have. But I do anyway with E(QUID), even though it won't hurt AS much. JJB: If so, the sim overcomes 5.5 diff.
>JJB: EFGILYZ 6H .IZ +32 93
#note 2:25 [20:57] JJB: Simplistic with poor leave. Fyle#/equid 35 leads the hooks (7.1 up), fleying 28 the perpendiculars; zingel# 32 is available.
>RF: ADIOPRT 12B PARODI.T +72 122
#note 0:37 [19:35] RF: Wasn't sure PAROTID took the S, but the 6-point sacrifice for defence is okay anyway.
>JJB: CEFFGLY C11 G.FF +22 115
#note 4:47 [16:10] RF: Wasn't sure this was good without the E, but rightly let it go. JJB: Missed fyce 39 for 8.4 more; doubted but preferred placement of goff#.
>RF: BDISVWY 15A BYS +36 158
#note 1:28 [18:07] RF: Hate the leave, but this is okay. Champ says B(O)VID or VIS. JJB: If willing to play the S, vibs# 33 rates 5.4 better.
>JJB: CEEILOY 11C .EY +26 141
#note 1:09 [15:01] JJB: Banking on a familiar leave, albeit it doesn't get used in a bingo as hoped. Pioy# 33 has the points (5.3 diff) and oye#/equid 27 has both. More overboard analysis required without sacrificing time management.
>RF: DEIORVW 5C WOVE +35 193
#note 0:28 [17:39]
>JJB: CEEEILO 4A CIEL +27 168
>JJB: AAEEEJO (challenge) +5 173
#note 2:12 [12:49] RF: Didn't know this new 4. JJB: A little studying of Collins 4s pays off, but did not turn up pioy# 33, still rated best by 13.0 mostly on balanced leave. Eeew 14 is also better.
>RF: DIILMRU A1 DUL.I +24 217
>RF: DIILMRU -- -24 193
#note 1:18 [16:21] RF: Need an E for DELIRIUM. This is bogus. Dumb. Was thinking DULCE or SULCI. Should've just taken another moment to find what I'd play next anyway. JJB: RF finds the best play on the next turn (43.4 better), but JJB had lucid/ludic on a list of IU dumps.
>JJB: AAEEEJO 9C JEE. +26 199
#note 2:12 [10:37] JJB: 49 seconds to challenge. Vowel rack should have been a cue to play zoaeae# 17 (9.7 more) or za/ajee 23 for safer J dumping.
>RF: DIILMRU A4 .ILIUM +30 223
#note 0:46 [15:35]
>JJB: AAEOOOR 14A OO. +26 225
#note 1:18 [9:19] JJB: Play rates just .3 behind zooea# 16 (AOR is not too negative) and .2 behind afore 30.
>RF: ?DEEKNR 10G t.NKERED +76 299
#note 0:28 [15:07] RF: Or j(I)NKERED or N(I)cKERED.
>JJB: AAEEEOR 11J AREA +22 247
#note 1:49 [7:30] JJB: No excuse for the repeated rack disillusionment that obscured areae 27 (11.2 better).
>RF: CDNSTUV 12L CUNT +27 326
#note 1:22 [13:45] RF: DUCT is a bit better. Didn't consider it. JJB: 1.4 diff.
>JJB: ?AGINOR J1 AGONI.eR +71 318
#note 4:24 [3:06] RF: ROARMING# or ROARINGS. I should've challenged this instantly (it's ORGANIZE). But I didn't want to give up 5 points if I was wrong in a close game. Messed up logic, really. JJB: Missed row 7 for 3 points. Thought this would be in Collins but there is no substitute for knowing the dictionary.
>RF: BDEOSTV 1J .BOVES +36 362
#note 7:50 [5:55] RF: Considered ADBOTS or ABOVES. And OVATED#, but not really. Didn't know BOVATES# and didn't consider STAVED, all of which Champ likes better. This is a tricky position I wouldn't be in had I just challenged. BOV(A)TE# wins the sim handily, but I just don't trust opening that lane. JJB: Bovate# by 8.9.
>JJB: AAORSUX 13M XU +42 360
#note 0:42 [2:24] RF: DUCT or CUNT, I still leave that.
>RF: DEGHITT 3I H.GTIED +32 394
#note 1:23 [4:32] RF: Forget the 7th tile, but quite happy with this. I think it was a T because I remember thinking "TIGHTED*?"
>JJB: AAAEORS 4I A.OA +20 380
#note 1:33 [0:51]
>RF: EHLLNTT C2 TH.. +20 414
#note ~3:32 [~1:00] RF: Wow, Champ B1 THE(I)N 28. Only play to win. This loses with perfect play. JJB: Correct, 12 behind. Tell 5l 7 leaves an out (thin) that will win if not blocked.
>JJB: AERSW 13E WAS +22 402
#note ~0:39 [~0:12] RF: Because (D)EWARS 33 and out! JJB: No excuse for missing the winning play, even given the time pressure. 33+10 versus was 22, intel 21, re 14+2 is an omission of 26.
>RF: ELLNT 14E EL +20 434
#note ~0:23 [0:37] RF: INTEL#/GON# is good. Wasn't 100%. JJB: 8 net diff.
>JJB: ER 5J .RE +17 419
#note ~0:11 [0:01] RF: Bad endgame. Got lucky on that one.
>JJB: (LNT) +6 425
#note Many significant missed opportunities, but JJB knocks himself out of the running for first place due to the last important omission; due to byes, RF's position at first or second will depend on JJB's games with Ying Ming Poh. Points improvable based on tiles played: RF 26, JJB 40. Points improvable based on values: JJB 95.0, RF 100.4.
