>skaplan31: FGMNPQZ - +0 0
#note Rd 2 Philly tourney 3-28-2021. I'm 2nd.
>MsSpeller: ABORSUW 8G BOW +16 16
#note Looks fine to me because of the leave. WAB also works to set up the S hook in 2 spots despite a not as good leave.
>skaplan31: FGMNPQZ -FGMNPQ +0 0
#note Since Jill tends to play more for score than leave some of the time, I felt that keeping the Z was fine to do against her. Let's also maximize my chances of drawing an S or blank. Q definitely agrees that keeping the Z is essential.
>MsSpeller: ?AORRSU J4 AROUSeR +69 85
#note H8 (O)UtROARS is 74 for her. It's not a bad move for her to make when I just exchanged 6. Also playable here are J4 AsSUROR, J2 UpROARS, J2 ARmOURS, J2 OURARiS, etc.
>skaplan31: AAENSVZ 4J .ZAN +26 26
#note Brutal call- I did see I3 AZAN but this is more open. Maybe too aggressive, even though I am already down by 85.
>MsSpeller: AHHIINT 5J .AI +30 115
#note Yep, it was too likely to be taken up.
>skaplan31: AEEJOSV 9E JOE +16 42
#note N4 SOJA is definitely worth it, I need to score instead of going for leave. This isn't gonna work against Jill.
>MsSpeller: DHHINST E8 D.IN +24 139
>skaplan31: ACEFSUV 8A CAVE. +36 78
#note Too bad FAVED* can't be good.
>MsSpeller: HHINSTV 12C HINT +27 166
>skaplan31: EFLSUUU -FLUUU +0 78
#note Wrong time for those Us to be on my rack.
>MsSpeller: EHILPSV 10D L.P +21 187
>skaplan31: AAAEMNS M2 MA.NA +18 96
#note 13C ANSAE is worth it. I'm not gonna get back in this game with 1 bingo.
>MsSpeller: EHIIRSV N1 VIES +38 225
#note And this is why I'm gonna be sunk. I can't just keep scoring like 15 every turn when I need to do something.
>skaplan31: AEEEMOS K10 EME +12 108
#note Way to not see K7 SEMEE. This particular game is worth vomiting over.
>MsSpeller: AHILORX N6 XI +50 275
#note Jill is finding her plays and I'm not. That's the main difference in this game thus far.
>skaplan31: ADEKOOS L12 DAK +22 130
>MsSpeller: AHLORUY I3 UH +24 299
#note Gotta enjoy giving cantors a shoutout again.
>skaplan31: EIOOOPS 13A POO +20 150
#note I think I needed to do 14J POKIES here- I don't have much to lose at this point.
>MsSpeller: ALLNORY A11 NO.AL +24 323
#note 14I RYOKAN is 42 for her.
>skaplan31: DDEIIOS 15F IODIDES +90 240
#note This over IODISED in the same spot to not allow Jill to close the right side easily. I want her to give me back Column N if she takes Column O. And I open up a scoring hotspot in the process.
>MsSpeller: GLLRTWY 14A .RTY +24 347
#note 14A ARGYLL would have been extremely nice.
>skaplan31: AEEGRRT 14L .EG +16 256
#note O5 RETAG is 30 but even that doesn't do much.
>MsSpeller: ?EFGLLW O7 FLEW +35 382
#note Nice play Jill!
>skaplan31: AERRSTT 13L .R +8 264
#note Maybe L4 AIR?
>MsSpeller: ?EEFGIL G8 ..EF +15 397
>skaplan31: AEORSTT B2 AEROST.T +70 334
#note There we go. Let's cut spread, but this game is not winnable at this time.
>MsSpeller: ?EGGILU 4B .UG +8 405
>skaplan31: BCNQRUY F14 Q. +31 365
#note After RUG, odds are she has the blank. By leaving 1 in the bag, if she doesn't have the blank, I could draw the blank for sYNC or BaNC at H1 to score basically the equivalent of a bingo.
>MsSpeller: ?EEGIIL D4 .I +3 408
>skaplan31: BCNRTUY H4 CUB +34 399
#note At least I could utilize this spot to cut spread, but this game isn't winnable.
>MsSpeller: ?EEGILT O12 GIsT +26 434
#note Luckily she missed 2A G(A)TELIkE and G(A)LEnITE.
>skaplan31: NRTY 3A Y.N +16 415
#note 6D TRY
>MsSpeller: EEL 6D EEL +9 443
#note Terrible game in the beginning. These multiple fishing plays didn't work out too well for me. I needed to see scoring plays with all 1-pointers in those kinds of situations. I simply allowed Jill to pile on points time after time which is why I lost this game. I'd consider myself lucky to have only lost by 32 points. Final score was 437-405 as we both went between 1 and 59 seconds overtime.
