>Will: DEIQU J8 .IQUED +38 56
>Carl: CEIJPRR 11I J.ICE +28 37
#note Too many ways this can go wrong. Just play JUICER. (-8) #strategylarge
>Will: ABLOSVZ M9 ZO.AL +48 104
>Carl: CIKNPRR 12D PRICK +47 84
>Will: BGISSVV K5 VIGS +26 130
>Carl: AAEMNRR H12 .NAR +24 108
#note This is better than RAM N8 because it opens up more lanes. You could argue that KARN H12 is better than KNAR because it makes the lanes tougher to block, but the plays are very close and sim about even.
>Will: BDEHSTV 6J H.VED +24 154
>Carl: AAEMORT N6 .REAM +35 143
#note DREAM/AM sim even. I say this to exonerate myself from the "Quackle Report" on the live coverage, but in fact, I usually don't know what I'm doing, and if AM were a lot better than DREAM, I'd blindly accept that too.
>Will: ABHLNST L11 .HANT +34 188
>Carl: AEIORTW O7 EW +32 175
>Will: BILNSTY E10 BY.L +18 206
#note Some expert board control here from the great wanderer. Up a tempo on a dead board is a great place to be, and this play gets him a little closer.
>Carl: ADIIORT O10 ADROIT +29 204
>Will: EINORST 15C INTRO.SE +59 265
#note Even BETTER board control is taking out the last lane with a bingo. This is way better than H1 SENORITA. It's 18 points less, but he's not about to let a larger lead screw him out of a sure win.
>Carl: ?AEEIOU 14B EAU +10 214
#note After a long sim... all the plays are pretty much hopeless. Exch. EEOU supposedly wins 1.2% more often. #leaveevaluationsmall
>Will: EINNSTT I7 N.T +8 273
>Carl: ?EEILOT N13 TOE +16 230
>Will: EINOSST B7 ESSONIT. +60 333
>Carl: ?EEFILO A2 OLEFInE +87 317
>Will: ABDEFGM B2 FAME +39 372
>Carl: ?ALNOUW C3 WON +35 352
#note One minor miracle of this tournament was playing a perfect endgame on this board with about a minute on my clock. I attribute all of this to luck. We all saw how well I played a blitz endgame vs. Leesa.
