>Billy_Nakamura: ABCDPUY 8H DAUBY +30 30
>Ken_Knabb: DGOO L4 GOOD. +20 20
>Billy_Nakamura: ACEHIRZ 7G REZ +47 77
#note I saw ARCHAIZE as a possibility here but did not trust it for some reason. CHEZ is probably better here, but this is early in the tournament and I'd like to try to run up some spread. I thought keeping some key hooks here would help my cause, but it may not be worth the sacrifice.
>Ken_Knabb: I - +0 20
#note Looks like an exchange here but I didn't note how many were exchanged.
>Billy_Nakamura: ACFILPR M1 CALIF +28 105
#note Being greedy trying to keep the P again when I should just play FLIP or FLAP, but it's somewhat close.
>Ken_Knabb: OX 1M .OX +36 56
>Billy_Nakamura: IIIINPR -III +0 105
#note Missed PIANI here which is clearly best
>Ken_Knabb: AJP 6F JAP +36 92
>Ken_Knabb: AJP -- -36 56
#note Not only a slur, but one that was never good and that particularly targets me. Get that out of here.
>Billy_Nakamura: IINNPRR F7 PIRN +23 128
#note I don't understand this sim result at all frankly. Sim wants RANI, but also likes PRINCOX and PIANI better than PIRN, even moreso if I specify Ken's rack. Undoubling all my letters, keeping a good leave, and blocking the P hook Ken shares all seem like things I should be doing here.
>Ken_Knabb: AEPT E8 PEAT +20 76
>Billy_Nakamura: HILNNOR 2L R.NI +21 149
#note Admittedly, I may have missed HONAN and HILAR, but with Ken still keeping a J, I'm still not sure I open row 1 for easy scoring. this and NAH sim pretty similarly.
>Ken_Knabb: IJ K6 JI. +24 100
>Billy_Nakamura: AHLNOOV H3 HOOV.. +14 163
#note This wins slightly over VAN, but even moreso since I want to make the board difficult for Ken.
>Ken_Knabb: ADENNT D10 TANNED +23 123
>Billy_Nakamura: ?ABLMNR 15A BRA. +21 184
#note BREAM looks to be the play here. I was loathe to give up my B here but decided to try to make the board as difficult as possible while blocking the 3x3 lane.
>Ken_Knabb: H 11C H.. +6 129
>Billy_Nakamura: ?EELLMN I3 MEN +22 206
#note G3 ELM looks to be slightly better
>Ken_Knabb: ?AEINST B6 fAINEST +65 194
#note This looks to be what happened... I have the score recorded as 64 here.
>Billy_Nakamura: ?ELLOUV G2 LOVE +26 232
#note There are multiple bingos here that I did not know. This looks to be the best of the rest.
>Ken_Knabb: TTU A8 TUT +19 213
>Billy_Nakamura: ?EEGLUY 1G GLUEY +36 268
>Ken_Knabb: IQ A5 QI +12 225
>Billy_Nakamura: ?EEIILW C11 .IE +19 287
>Ken_Knabb: W J1 .W +13 238
>Billy_Nakamura: ?AEEILW C7 WE +21 308
#note I generated ALEWIfE and WEIgELA here as the 7s available but double blank blindness made me miss the spot for my bingo.
>Ken_Knabb: ADO D5 ODA +10 248
>Billy_Nakamura: ?AEILST N5 TALlIES +66 374
>Ken_Knabb: CMRU E2 CRUM +24 272
>Billy_Nakamura: EFGIKOS 1A KIEFS +57 431
#note I hated CRUM here, but I saw that it did give me a huge score back and didn't want to risk being wrong.
>Ken_Knabb: AERS - +0 272
#note Challenge lost
>Billy_Nakamura: GO M9 GO +12 443
#note Final score recorded 445-271
>Billy_Nakamura: (AERS) +8 451
