#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 PA Peggy Altazan
>JJB: GILRTWZ 8H GLITZ +50 50
#note ~1:00 [~24:00]
>PA: EIR 8H .....IER +54 54
#note ~0:30 [~24:30]
>JJB: AABHORW K5 ROW.H +22 72
#note ~3:00 [~21:00] Bad leave, well behind abrazo# l4 34 (18.7 evaluation difference), or zabra# l8 32, or waah 7g 26, or awhato# k4 24, or bowat# k4 20, or whoa 9f 21, or towbar#/warbot# 22, or wroath# k4 24, or whata# k5 22.
>PA: AELO L8 .OEAL +33 87
#note ~0:30 [~24:00]
>JJB: AABELNT J4 LAB +23 95
#note ~3:05 [17:55] No bingos for the hunting. Missed laying out the bait j6 33 (8.1 diff).
>PA: EIOO O6 OO.IE +5 92
#note ~1:00 [~23:00] Also olio 6 or looie 6.
>JJB: AEEKNOT H2 TOKENA.E +68 163
#note 0:17 [17:38] JJB goes for the risk to recover a little spread for pride's sake. This phony rates 31.8 above oak n4 33.
>PA: EIPTY N2 PIETY +49 141
#note ~0:30 [~22:30] PA uses the spot JJB should have, but she could also rearrange it for the 4-overlap piety n6 51.
>JJB: ADINSTV O1 VID +28 191
#note 2:34 [15:04] JJB senses another bingo; he opts to dump the I (vid/hod 22 rates 1.8 higher).
>PA: ACIMR N10 MICRA +40 181
#note ~0:30 [22:00] PA makes another good triple-double, keeping the score tight for now without a bingo.
>JJB: ACENNST 15H ENCANTS +90 281
#note 4:33 [10:31] JJB studied nascent (g9 64) but eventually gets impatient not finding it and throws down the probable phony for 26 more.
>PA: EQTUU L1 TUQUE +33 214
#note ~1:30 [~20:30] 3 more at 14d, 1 more at 2h.
>JJB: AEENORT 3L .A.. +28 309
#note 1:25 [9:06] Reasonable! But JJB knows all the words in art/qaid/ure#/arett# 42 (strong but only .7 diff) and would prefer that.
>PA: EFW K11 FEW +30 244
#note ~0:30 [~20:00]
>JJB: ?EENORT 14B EsTRONE +68 377
#note 3:08 [5:58] One of the best bingos, and searches for stronger ones would not avail. Time's a-wasting.
>PA: IMV I1 VIM +20 264
#note ~1:05 [18:55] More points: vim/hom 26.
>JJB: FHIOOSU G5 FOH +29 406
#note 1:23 [4:38] This is better than alternative shoo 15a 33, but of course foh/oestrone is 5 more. But then hoof/oestrone is 24.1 more.
>PA: ?DGINPS B8 SPrING.D +61 325
#note 1:30 [17:25] PA springed for the bingo. Dispunge#/disponge# b7 67 are an improvement.
>JJB: DDIOSSU A5 DIDO +24 430
#note 1:39 [2:56]
>PA: AGLUX A11 XU +22 347
#note 3:48 [13:37] PA tries gal/gon#/aha but then uses the X instead. Quackle likes gau#/gon#/aha 22 better than either.
>JJB: ABRRSSU B1 BURSAS +27 457
#note 1:49 [1:07] Both players want it over with. Baurs# f6 32 rates 15.3 higher.
>PA: AAEGJLN 13F JAG +28 375
#note 1:44 [11:53] PA can still play the interesting ganja f6 33 and block both ryfe# and rye, leading to pry 9+4, net of 20. Jag 28, ryfe# 20+8, will net 0.
>JJB: RY 9F RY. +10 467
#note 0:21 [0:46] JJB misses his last chance of the tournament to play a Collins 4, ryfe# 20, 10 better.
>JJB: (AELN) +8 475
#note To keep up with PA's power plays, JJB finds it necessary to employ two phonies and still leads by "only" 100 after his prior 4 games all had 200-spread differences. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 15, PA 30. Points improvable based on values: JJB 78.7.
