#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 NL Noel Livermore
>JJB: DELOOPW 8D PLOWED +30 30
#note 0:36 [24:24] Wooled rates just .1 higher.
>NL: IOTV D8 .IVOT +20 20
#note 1:57 [23:03]
>JJB: INORRSU C12 UR +6 36
#note 2:38 [21:46] JJB is already working on fishing. Points are available with 4-overlap nori 9f/7f (3.7 higher value).
>NL: ?EHINRV 11D .VERtHIN +102 122
#note 1:02 [22:01] NL has already drawn his bingo, and a hefty quadruple at that.
>JJB: EINORST H1 SEROTIN. +77 113
#note 0:54 [20:52] JJB thinks column H is the strongest spot but forgets to calculate hooking oestrin/tersion# to overthins for 80. He wants to play overthink later.
>NL: AAM 10I AMA +28 150
#note 2:16 [19:45]
>JJB: GHIINOO 5E HOO.ING +44 157
#note 0:20 [20:32] JJB takes the other quadruple for a temporary lead.
>NL: ?AEORUW 1E OUt.WEAR +61 211
#note 2:01 [17:44] If NL knew all the outs he would have outwears 92.
>JJB: ABDGINY 2A BAYING +41 198
#note 4:07 [16:25] Baying 2a 41 is sharp but 2 behind abying 12i 43. Outswearing 42 is just behind, as are JJB's other choices (tying, dying, braying).
>NL: AEFINST B1 F.NTASIE +63 274
#note 1:59 [15:45] NL has another easy bingo group. Fainest b9 79 gets 16 more.
>JJB: ADEEOTU A1 O.E +32 230
#note 2:28 [13:57] JJB is happy his vowels score so well, but then he didn't see boutade a2 51 (6-overlap, 18.0 ahead). He saw autoed 30, but not its 4-overlap placement for 33 (equal to obe).
>NL: AIILO A8 AIOLI +24 298
#note 1:24 [14:21] A little scoring opportunity is left for NL too.
>JJB: ADEFNTU B10 FA +28 258
#note 3:56 [10:01] Right idea; better dump is enuf 3a 29 (diff 5.4, almost all on keeping A with the leave).
>NL: DLP 4F PL.D +16 314
#note 0:48 [13:33] Decent vowelless dump, but after a vowel dump?
>JJB: DELMNTU 10F MU +22 280
#note 2:05 [7:56] JJB does not even look at the spot for unmantled# 62 (34.5 ahead). Much better leave is muid# 6f 34.
>NL: AQT 6D QAT +26 340
#note 0:29 [13:04] Qanat 14 also plays.
>JJB: DEEGLNT C1 T.E +24 304
#note 3:09 [4:47] JJB writes down gentled (75, diff of 43.7) then refuses to play it, certain that another better-looking bingo will come. He doesn't know glented# and doesn't even notice entangled 61. The best use of c1 is tyde# or tyg#, which JJB spots too late.
>NL: CKR K8 CR..K +11 351
#note 0:34 [12:30] NL holds the K for overthink (18), which alone is much better than crank, and would be very strong with the rest of NL's rack. His setup scores points another way though.
>JJB: DDEGLNT 2K GELD +17 321
#note 1:01 [3:46] As the board closes decisions get easier.
>NL: EYZ 13K YEZ +45 396
#note 0:38 [11:52] NL's setup is nice, but it also gave yez l12 48.
>JJB: ABDEINT G10 ..B +5 326
#note 2:25 [1:21] JJB takes one more chance on a bingo with the second-to-last tile (bi 9c 7 is an improvement). Quackle would dump ab 14m 19 wide-open, 2.7 ahead.
>NL: CEEX 14C EXEC +22 418
#note 2:12 [9:40] NL apparently wants to shut down and finds this safer than the 29-point version. He could also have performed some shutdown with ex 1n 30, which is indicated: given his vowelless leave, he is expecting too much from the last tile.
>JJB: ADEINTU 14C ....UTED +22 348
#note 0:50 [0:31] Since NL has used his last vowel and can be stuck with the J (only ja#/jar/raj play, all at 5a), JJB needs to block and maximize, e.g., an/na 2, harl 7 (blocking haul and potto), ze# 11, execs 14, xu 10, overthins 14, di#/zed 16, pass, dit 12, pass, ka/sae 18+16, net of 50. JJB is thinking in out-in-two mode and scores executed 22, which allows jar 5a 10 (threatening amass/ess), which forces the highest play, ani 15h 20+4 (or ain 15c, or tanti# h11), net of 36.
>NL: JRSS 5A J.R +10 428
#note 0:56 [8:44]
>JJB: AIN 15H ANI +20 368
#note 0:20 [0:11]
>JJB: (SS) +4 372
#note NL keeps ahead with bingos, but JJB had a whole half-game to bingo in reply, and refused to play the bingo he wrote down for a 15-point lead at a crucial moment. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 21, NL 57. Points improvable based on values: JJB 127.1.
