>Siddharth_Murali: DEOTX 8H DETOX +42 42
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABDEGHY 7I HAYED +43 43
#note Best play. I was hoping to play an open board against Sid but the tile bag had other plans.
>Siddharth_Murali: Q J6 Q.. +32 74
>Jonathan_Lindh: BEGLUUW 9F BLEW +30 73
#note Best play. That hanging B would come back to bite me though.
>Siddharth_Murali: ?AEEGLV F4 GiVEA.LE +73 147
#note 10I SELVAGE is 75 but this is way safer. Championship Player agrees.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EFGLNUU E11 FUGUE +28 101
#note FUGU or FUGUE? I was getting hammered the next play either way. Quackle prefers FUG to both of these plays by a tiny bit.
>Siddharth_Murali: ?EKRRST 15B STR.aKER +86 233
#note I lucked out because STREEKER is a word and it plays for 158 at 15A. That was almost two triple triples against me for the tournaments.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AFILNNR 4A FARIN. +28 129
#note This is the one of the plays with a nonzero winning percentage but is probably not the best. Considered 8A FARINA as well but I thought that made the board too easy for Sid to close.
>Siddharth_Murali: HTW B2 WH.T +20 253
>Jonathan_Lindh: EILNRUY A4 .INELY +38 167
#note Best play.
>Siddharth_Murali: IIVZ I11 VIZI. +27 280
>Jonathan_Lindh: EIIORTU -IOU +0 167
#note G9 LOUIE is best but this isn't far off. It looks pretty grim at this point.
>Siddharth_Murali: EP 3B .EP +24 304
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEIORRT L7 ..TERIOR +30 197
#note I considered 6L ROD too to open up the board but I looked at the pool and figured Sid would easily block. I think I was right. At this point, I went straight into spread cutting mode, the game is pretty much unwinnable now.
>Siddharth_Murali: ABET K12 ABET +14 318
#note Sid had an E so he could have easily blocked the ROD opening.
>Jonathan_Lindh: DIJMPUU B11 JUMP. +32 229
#note 13C JUGUM would not have given Sid the next bingo.
>Siddharth_Murali: ACINORS C6 RACINOS +72 390
#note This would not have happened had I played JUGUM.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AADIOOU M2 AOUDA. +16 245
#note The only play worth playing. When you play AOUDAD your rack probably sucks which it did.
>Siddharth_Murali: NO L4 NO +11 401
>Jonathan_Lindh: CIIOOSS 9L .IC +6 251
#note Why not try and open up the board?
>Siddharth_Murali: DENT M9 .DENT +30 431
>Jonathan_Lindh: AIIOOSS N5 AS +12 263
#note Whoops, OSSIA hooking TIC is a lot better here but it makes little difference.
>Siddharth_Murali: AGLMNO N1 NAM +18 449
>Jonathan_Lindh: IIOOS O1 OS +15 278
#note Best play, but I would be going out now had I played OSSIA like I should have.
>Siddharth_Murali: GLO K2 LOG +8 457
>Siddharth_Murali: (IIO) +6 463
#note I probably could have broken 300 had I done a few things differently and RACINOS didn't need to happen but this game was basically unwinnable. Don't feel bad about this one.
