Player 1
#player1 CM Conor Munro
#player2 JJB John J. Bulten
>CM: JKQVXZ -JKQVZXZ +0 0
#note ~2:00 [~23:00] CM probably retains a blank.
>JJB: INOTUXY 8H OXY +26 26
#note ~2:00 [~23:00]
>CM: ADW J5 WAD. +13 13
#note ~1:30 [~21:30] CM prefers opening up lanes rather than setting up the hook with daw g8 23, where he does not hold a hook if not the blank.
>JJB: IINSTUU 9G UNI +17 43
#note ~1:00 [~22:00]
>CM: ?DEGGJL 7B JuGGLED +70 83
#note ~0:30 [~21:00] Congratulations! Underscored by 1.
>JJB: ?IOSTTU 10B OUTwITS +67 110
#note ~2:00 [~20:00] JJB has also drawn a blank, but among his many choices he does not work out outwaits 70 or goutiest 68.
>CM: IZ 5J .IZ +30 113
#note ~1:00 [~20:00] This score likely imbalances CM's fresh random rack.
>JJB: EHINQRT C7 .NQ.IET +50 160
#note ~0:37 [19:23] JJB prefers the flashy 2 extra points, but the E can be kept for .9 more value with quint 48.
>CM: V -7 +0 113
#note ~1:53 [18:07] Rack unknown.
>JJB: FHIOPRT L1 FRIT. +42 202
#note 0:14 [19:09] An easy rebound.
>CM: ALT 1L .LAT +21 134
#note 2:15 [15:52] CM needs more than a bingo and works seriously at it.
>JJB: CEEHLOP 12A CH.EP +30 232
#note 1:24 [17:45] Missed opening, negative leave. Keep the C. All kinds of plays at d12 are better, starting with hope 32 (8.6 diff). Also available, hon 8a 27, prole 2k 22.
>CM: FO 8A FO. +27 161
#note 0:19 [15:33] CM finds a dump that synergizes with his rack.
>JJB: EIKLOST 3K O.K +14 246
#note 2:33 [15:12] JJB overdraws and mixes, so CM removes R from EIR. JJB misses kor 17, which does not allow the S hook of oik for either player, and misses coke 30 (5.0 diff), which is a slightly less inviting lane too. His bingo judgment eventually is vindicated but he should seek points now rather than openings.
>CM: ADENNSW N3 SWANNED +71 232
#note 0:33 [15:00] Success. (Unquiets would yield 8 more points of success.) CM indicates unsureness about both plurals.
>JJB: BEILSTV O8 LEV +27 273
#note 0:06 [15:06] Why not perform the simple task of placing V on l8 and spotting vlei 33 (or else vies)? The leave is BEST (10.0 up)! Is the new S location really worth it?
>CM: DEO B10 .O.ED +22 254
#note 0:27 [14:33] Clever but quite dangerous! Coed 21 opens a more useful line rather than shutting one down and opening column A.
>JJB: BEIMRST 11I TIMBERS +79 352
#note 0:38 [14:28] An argument can be made for timbres being better, but the hook pays off.
>CM: AIIL L8 ALI.I +16 270
#note 2:12 [12:21] One S remains!
>JJB: AAHNORU A12 .HAO +36 388
#note 0:42 [13:46] Clear leader.
>CM: BO E5 BO. +12 282
#note 1:36 [10:45] Again CM neglects the parallel potential of a low play.
>JJB: AAGNRRU D4 RAG. +17 405
#note 4:19 [9:27] JJB seeks the points, but retains the same leave as last time and underscores by 2. Better leaves are aura 6g 12 (by 2.9) and ruga d2 14. He correctly rules out gain 10j 22, ana 11e 19, and the very weak gan 12h 10.
>CM: ACR F4 CAR. +19 301
#note 1:33 [9:12] CM is in a bingo-hunt loop.
>JJB: AEINRUV 11E ANE +19 424
#note 2:29 [6:58] JJB gives up on a promising leave to grab 19 points: the same score as vinier j10. Best mix is uvea c1 16 (15.0 ahead). Best internal play is qua 9c 15 (11.0 ahead of ane).
>CM: MO C3 MO +10 311
#note 0:31 [8:41] CM wants another hook, even at the sacrifice of 15 points (moi 10j 25).
>JJB: AEIRUVY 2B VERY +25 449
#note 6:01 [0:57] Taking the hook is wise but JJB leaves only vowels and directs a hook to his opponent. Uvea 2a 19 doesn't expose a bingo, though row 1 points are available; it rates 9.9 ahead. The flashy play is of course vicarly f2 23, just behind and probably safer.
>CM: EEENRSU A1 REUSE +29 340
#note ~0:26 [~8:15] CM did not have a bingo in the bag and seizes the hook, finally showing the S, and he also correctly calculates the second-best out in two. A hidden improvement is insure f10 21, amp k10 13, retaining the unblockable nee a1 20, with a net of 1 point higher (it's also unblockable in reverse).
>JJB: AIPU J10 P.U +11 460
#note 0:34 [0:23] 3 behind amp 13 because it allows CM one more point in response.
>CM: EN O4 EN +11 351
#note ~0:38 [7:37] CM had time to look for pein 10j 12.
>CM: (AI) +4 355
#note Bingos are equal but CM faces significantly less rack synergy, worth about 100. Mistakes were less significant on both sides than average. Points improvable based on tiles played: JJB 9, CM 35. Points improvable based on values: JJB 58.3.
