>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?EIISTU 8F UvEITIS +64 64
#note 8F UNITIES sims top, like 1 pt above this. I liked this for stifling many sevens racks but of course it has other issues.
>Ben_Schoenbrun: EJ F6 JE. +26 26
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EHNNNPU K5 UNP.N +14 78
#note Mm, ENN is not 6 worse than EHN i guess... UNHIP then
>Ben_Schoenbrun: ACIS 7I AS.IC +20 46
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEHINUW L1 WHEEN +32 110
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ABIRTTU (challenge) +5 115
>Ben_Schoenbrun: ADGILNS N1 LADINGS +86 132
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ABIRTTU J2 BRUTI.. +24 139
#note Wow I did not doubt this word for a second. It's not even better than the best valid plays WILT/TWILT. Very yikes turn.
>Ben_Schoenbrun: AINY O1 AYIN +41 173
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AAEKNPT I6 P..K +20 159
#note UNPINKT# is not a word I've studied yet.

>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AAEHNTW H1 WAAH +62 221
>Ben_Schoenbrun: EO K2 OE +13 218
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AEENTTV 1F VA. +9 230
#note Failed to spot JEUNE which would be great if I think Ben is fishing with the last S. But Is he? VAW is a do-nothing play, but there's not a lot that can be accomplished on this board. I can maybe just exchange here keeping AENT.
>Ben_Schoenbrun: AELT 3C ALTE.. +30 248
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AEENQTT 2A QAT +26 256
>Ben_Schoenbrun: EGOV 4A VEGO +32 280
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEINORT A4 .IREO +24 280
#note Failed to consider the consonant heavy pool. VOTER is better for sure. Pretty careless error
>Ben_Schoenbrun: DLOU B7 LOUD +13 293
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?EEFMNT C6 EFT +23 303
>Ben_Schoenbrun: ADGILO A10 ALGOID +33 326
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?DEMMNR K5 .....NED +22 325
#note Spent the rest of my time trying to come up with my best path to winning here. Any fishy play is surely met with some sort of block of the ALGOID lines. So I decided to open up the right side and score enough points to not go all-in on a bingo. I still don't know what I should have done. At the very least, this complicates the position for Ben

>Ben_Schoenbrun: EFOORST 15H FORE. +45 371
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: BCMRY 14K B.RM +18 395
#note Easily my worst blunder of the tournament, whiffing on the not-even-difficult play of MERCY and punting this game out the window. Lord have mercy
