>EricGoldstein: IIII -IIII +0 0
>JoshuaSokol: BELNVWZ H6 BLEW +18 18
#note quackle slightly prefers exposing the E on H9, since I get decent V.W overlaps
>EricGoldstein: AEGNRSS G8 RAG +13 13
>JoshuaSokol: NNPTTVZ -NPTV +0 18
#note weird decision by me. I should just keep Z or ZN, ZNT is wayy to conso heavy in this early game position. I felt like I was responding to a bingo so I wanted to be ready, but ZN is ready. #strategysmall
>EricGoldstein: BO 6H .OB +13 26
>JoshuaSokol: ?EHNOTZ K5 dOZENTH +130 148
#note or this can happen. 90% to win.
>EricGoldstein: EINOSSS 12I OSSEINS +85 111
#note obviously that 90% thing does not account for how strong Eric probably was. He probably wins 1/4 or 1/5 here against an equal opponent.
>JoshuaSokol: AGHIRTU O8 AGUI.H +30 178
#note held, he almost challenged I think
>EricGoldstein: ADEORSV 13C OVERSAD +83 194
>JoshuaSokol: AAORTVX N8 TAXO. +60 238
>EricGoldstein: IY D12 I.Y +18 212
>JoshuaSokol: ACEIRRV M3 ARRIVE +29 267
#note totally missed F7 VICAR here. Missed all plays there actually. This is probably 2nd best, but VICAR is clear as day. #findingsmall
>EricGoldstein: ?DEIPRU F3 sIRUPED +71 283
>JoshuaSokol: ACDELNP 3C CLA.PED +32 299
#note worst miss of the tournament here. I was about to play CLASPED and *knew* it was wrong. Couldn't anagram ACDEILNP despite knowing ACDEILNNP cold.
>EricGoldstein: EKM H1 ME.K +45 328
>JoshuaSokol: AEEINNU 11E UNAI +13 312
#note fuk
>EricGoldstein: DILO L1 LIDO +19 347
>JoshuaSokol: EENOTTU 1L .UTE +12 324
#note not sure if I should go for the 14 row or if he's likely to block that, or if I should try for complications, not an unlikely bingo. D3 (L)UNETTE sims best, hoping for the good stuff(tm) #questionable
>EricGoldstein: AALNNOT C3 .ANTONAL +62 409
>JoshuaSokol: EEFFNOT - +0 324
#note seemed really hard to win this, and I wasn't sure if it was CANTONAL, CANTONED, or both. #knowledgesaddest
>EricGoldstein: IJT D1 JI.T +42 451
>JoshuaSokol: EEFFNOT 8A FE. +18 342
#note blocking CI(N)Q
>EricGoldstein: CEGMQRW 14B WR. +20 471
#note this endgame is insane. This is -23, whereas just Q(AT) is -17.
>JoshuaSokol: EFINOTY 5B E. +2 344
#note blocking Q(AT), and if he plays Q(I) 2K I have NOTIFY/FEN. If he doesn't play Q(I) I Q stick. This is the best endgame by 3 points.
>EricGoldstein: CEGMQ B4 G.E +14 485
#note this sticks him with the Q, but is 10 points better than Q(I). Now he's fallen into the maelstrom. Too bad I have no time/skill to solve the rest of this thing. This is only one point worse than → M(AT) or ↓ C(E)E in the same spot
>JoshuaSokol: FINOTY 2K T. +2 346
#note this is 2 worse than F(LUTE). The optimal sequence goes 1. F(LUTE), M11 M(I) threatening (MI)C, 2. L12 (E)T blocking MIC, 8E C(ERE), 3. H12 (A)N with the setup, pass, 4. 15H YO, pass, 5. I6 (O)I +Q #endgamesmall #timesaddest
>EricGoldstein: CMQ M11 M.C +19 504
#note this is -4 to just M(I), just like in the previous sequence, to threaten to bank 4 more points with (MI)C next move. The second best play here is to pass to slow me down a bit, inducing (I)F M12 to block the M(I) (MI)C sequence. :)
>JoshuaSokol: FINOY 1D .O +9 355
#note -2. best is (A)N H14 to set up FOY for 45. This is tied for 3rd best, but there are 6 moves better than this. #timesaddest #endgamesmall
>EricGoldstein: Q 6M .Q +31 535
>EricGoldstein: Q -- -31 504
>JoshuaSokol: FINY 1D ..Y +13 368
#note -2 again! My best sequence is funny. it's A7 I(F), (IF)F, (IFF)Y and N(IFFY) #endgamesmall #timesaddest
>EricGoldstein: Q - +0 504
>JoshuaSokol: FIN 6M .F +13 381
#note -2 again!!! This time I play (R)IN 5M to set up my F for 26. It's not over yet. #endgamesmall #timesaddest
>EricGoldstein: Q 8F ...Q +13 517
>EricGoldstein: Q -- -13 504
>JoshuaSokol: IN I5 N. +2 383
#note -2 AGAIN! 9F (DAW)N + I7 (O)I is 2 better. #endgamesmall #timesaddest
>EricGoldstein: Q - +0 504
>JoshuaSokol: I 4H .I +11 394
#note not every day you make an optimal endgame play and then make 5 2-point endgame errors in a row. None of this would have happened without PAN(I)CLED. I lost a total of 10 points in this endgame, whereas Eric lost... 11 :)
>JoshuaSokol: (Q) +20 414
#note this was a blown game, as evidenced by BLEW. When I breathe, I make bad puns.
