#player2 Jonathan_Lindh Jonathan Lindh
>John_Ortman: EHIKT 8D KITHE +34 34
#note Feeling good headed into this game. I was guaranteed a 1700+ rating and ratings increase no matter what. This game is just extra. Felt very relaxed this game. This play was also overscored by 8. How did none of us catch this?
>Jonathan_Lindh: AOOORSW 7C WOO +18 18
#note Best play.
>John_Ortman: ADEQRRT - +0 34
#note Exchange 5. Not actual rack.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AORSTUU -OUU +0 18
#note Exchange 3.
>John_Ortman: ADEQRRT - +0 34
#note Exchange 2. Not actual rack.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAIRSTV H2 VARIAT.S +62 80
#note Best play. G8 HAVARTIS is 66 but very risky after two exchanges.
>John_Ortman: EIJR 2F JI.ER +33 67
>Jonathan_Lindh: DDEEIPT 5E PIT.ED +18 98
#note Way off. I5 DIED for 29 is best.
>John_Ortman: CEL 9C CEL +18 85
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?BDEEII 1I BEEDI +16 114
#note A few plays are better than this like I8 DIE.
>John_Ortman: BGU 4D BUG +19 104
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?HILSYY N1 SHYLY +37 151
#note BEEDIS* is no good. I8 SHY for 35 is the best valid play.
>John_Ortman: AEFT 6F FE.T +34 138
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AIINOW 4L WA.I +16 167
#note Best play.
>John_Ortman: DMO 6B DOM +25 163
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AGINOU I9 OUtGAIN +62 229
#note Only bingo. Championship Player actually liked foregoing the bingo and playing 3J AGONY a little bit better but I don't like keeping IU even with a blank.
>John_Ortman: ?FGOX 15E FOXi.G +48 211
>Jonathan_Lindh: NNNQRRZ -NNQRR +0 229
#note Terrible draw, but exchanging 5 keeping either ZN or ZR is correct.
>John_Ortman: AP 14F PA +29 240
>Jonathan_Lindh: ELNOSUZ K9 ZONULES +99 328
#note I missed ZEOLITIC in game 17, but the tile bag handed me a second chance to get my big Z bingo of the tournament. And I found it! If I don't find it, 13G ZEALOUS for 81 is a solid second place.
>John_Ortman: AALNT 13C NATAL +28 268
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEEIORR 12D AE +10 338
#note Decided to play defensive and block the D12 spot and the row 11 bingo lane. Now if John wants to bingo he can only open one line at a time.
>John_Ortman: N 12K .N +4 272
>Jonathan_Lindh: CEIOORR M11 CIRE +15 353
#note There's ORRICE and CORRIE again from the Jackson Smylie game in round 14. CIRE arguably worked out better and all three plays accomplish the same blocking.
>John_Ortman: T 12K ...T +4 276
>Jonathan_Lindh: DIMNOOR 13M .OM +7 360
#note One more block.
>John_Ortman: AENRRSU L8 RAN +17 293
#note I suspect this was John's rack. I believe the Q was the last tile in the bag. N12 TOR also wins 1 in 8 times supposedly.
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEINORV O13 .ID +18 378
#note 14K EVER for 20 is the best end game.
>John_Ortman: EQRSU 11E SUQ +30 323
#note Best play.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ENORV 8L .OVE +21 399
#note Best play.
>John_Ortman: ER 14B RE +6 329
#note 6F FEATER for 16 is best.
>John_Ortman: (NR) +4 333
#note Final score recorded as 399-341. I was pleased with how I played the last game. My new rating is 1727 and my streak of winning New Orleans tournaments continues.
