>Cooper_Komatsu: ADLR 8E LARD +10 10
#note 2022 World Cup Main Event Round 28. The pressure hit me hard at this point. It dawned on me I had to beat Cooper or else Cooper's gigantic spread would pose a problem for my more modest spread in the event of a tiebreaker.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BDIJOTZ F6 ZO. +32 32
#note Didn't like ADZ here because of what it gave back. BLITZ is another possibility.
>Cooper_Komatsu: AHT G5 TAH. +31 41
>Jonathan_Lindh: BDEIJPT H4 DIP +24 56
>Cooper_Komatsu: AI 9H AI +6 47
>Jonathan_Lindh: BEEIJTU 10F JIB +34 90
#note Can't block everything. Take the points and hope for the best.
>Cooper_Komatsu: ILNO 11D LION +19 66
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEIMTTU 12C MITT +28 118
#note This should have been MITE in the same spot.
>Cooper_Komatsu: AE 13F AE +14 80
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEKNSTU J7 NETSUKE +66 184
#note This may have been too defensive but I passed on J9 because of Cooper's last few plays.
>Cooper_Komatsu: AO 12J .OA +14 94
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEEFFNP 11I F.ND +23 207
#note 5G TIFFED for 26.
>Cooper_Komatsu: AEEELSS 14G LEASEES +75 169
#note This is phony. It's LESSEES. Major mistake in letting this go.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEEFPRR 15H FE +32 239
#note Looks best.
>Cooper_Komatsu: AGY 13A GAY +28 197
>Jonathan_Lindh: ACEEPRR K4 CAPER +22 261
#note I was seconds from playing K2 CAPERER for 76 but chickened out at the last moment. Missed bingo #9 and my 2nd missed 7 of the tourney. CAPERER is easily the play. Cooper said he would have challenged too.
>Cooper_Komatsu: ??DEGNN M7 vENDiNG. +84 281
#note Milliseconds from challenging this phony but couldn't talk myself into it. It's Collins only. MENDINGS and LENDINGS are good.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEIORRT A11 RO.ER +21 282
#note Just A12 OGRE.
>Cooper_Komatsu: HM 15K HM +22 303
>Jonathan_Lindh: EIINTUW B13 .WE +24 306
>Cooper_Komatsu: BOX I3 BOX +28 331
>Jonathan_Lindh: IINOTUV 9B VINO +10 316
#note Maybe 4K plays like COVIN? That scores quite a bit more than mine but I thought they were too aggressive with the Q and multiple U's out.
>Cooper_Komatsu: GI 4K .IG +12 343
>Jonathan_Lindh: IQSTUVY J2 QI +35 351
#note This is a sizeable error. The engine likes N4 SUQ for 39 holding the I. This seems obvious to me in retrospect. I have to hope Cooper doesn't have a 5 letter play beginning with Q.
>Cooper_Komatsu: CO M2 CO. +12 355
>Jonathan_Lindh: ASTTUVY 8M .T +2 353
#note One of the two plays that sometimes wins. I swore this one was best but 9M NU for 2 is actually 100% to win. When I originally typed in my rack as VASTYIT, ET was 100% to win. If I do NU, Cooper probably tries to blocks with VOE I think, not sure.
>Cooper_Komatsu: ELO 9L E.OL +6 361
>Jonathan_Lindh: ASTUVWY O7 SA.TY +33 386
#note Tied for one of the best plays. This wins 100%. Thank goodness!
>Cooper_Komatsu: IRRUU 2M .UR +10 371
#note Tied for the best play but no wins for Cooper.
>Jonathan_Lindh: UVW 13I W. +19 405
>Cooper_Komatsu: IRU 13M .I +3 374
#note Cooper blocks GUV.
>Jonathan_Lindh: UV 15A ..V +6 411
#note Now I'm U stuck.
>Cooper_Komatsu: RU - +0 374
#note No plays for either of us.
>Jonathan_Lindh: U - +0 411
>Cooper_Komatsu: RU - +0 374
>Jonathan_Lindh: U - +0 411
>Cooper_Komatsu: RU - +0 374
>Jonathan_Lindh: U - +0 411
>Jonathan_Lindh: U (U) +-1 410
#note Final score recorded as 410-373. Final score should have been recorded as 410-372. I wasn't thrilled with my level of play in this game, but ET allowed me to squeak it out barely.
