>Ross_Brown: IILNTUW - +0 0
#note Ross Brown annotating.
#note I didn't pass; this is just how I annotate games where I start second.
>Webster_Phillips: EFIL 8E FILE +14 14
>Ross_Brown: IILNTUW 7B UNWIT +16 16
#note Best.
>Webster_Phillips: EFU 9H FEU +12 26
>Ross_Brown: EGILOSZ 10C GLOZES +42 58
#note Best.
>Webster_Phillips: OO F10 .OO +12 38
>Ross_Brown: ACDIINR 13B CAIRN +27 85
#note Quackle prefers 13C ACINI +29/87, keeping DR.
>Webster_Phillips: ?ADEGOR K3 GROAnED +74 112
#note Bingo.
>Ross_Brown: ADEGIRX 6B XI +52 137
>Webster_Phillips: AEILRTT I2 LATERIT. +68 180
#note Bango.
#note Webster was probably thinking that I2 LITERAT(E) risked a front A hook, so chose this instead. Read on...
>Ross_Brown: ADEGORT H1 GATED +34 171
#note Improbably, Webster's last play denied me four bingos: I2 DEROGAT(E), J8 O(U)TRAGED, 4H GAR(R)OTED, and 5C GAROTED.
#note What I didn't know is that ELATERITE is a word, so I missed 1D GAROTED +92/229.
>Webster_Phillips: ?DNSTUY 1A STUDYiN. +92 272
#note Bongo.
>Ross_Brown: AEIOORY 8K .YRIE +36 207
>Webster_Phillips: AAH 7M AHA +17 289
>Ross_Brown: ABEEOOQ -AEOOBQ +0 207
>Webster_Phillips: CP N6 C..P +17 306
>Ross_Brown: EEKRRTV B11 RE.K +20 227
#note I was hoping that an S would come along and bail me out.
>Webster_Phillips: IMPW 5C WIMP +28 334
>Ross_Brown: AEEORTV 4A VETO +33 260
#note Best.
#note Webster had closed the board to prevent bingos like OVEREAT/OVERATE.
>Webster_Phillips: EILN A8 LINE +14 348
>Ross_Brown: AAENOOR 2B ANOA +22 282
>Webster_Phillips: BBJ D12 J.BB +36 384
#note I think this was a pretty smart play, not knowing what his other tiles were.
>Ross_Brown: DEENOOR 15D .O +4 286
#note Now things get strategically interesting.
#note Among the unseen tiles is the poisonous Q, but also a V that will give me 12F (O)VERDONE and the win if I'm lucky.
>Webster_Phillips: AHIMSUV - +0 384
#note In point of fact, Webster held the V I wanted. He opted to pass rather than risk that I might bingo out with him holding the Q and other garbage, possibly winning the game. He later told me that his tracking wasn't perfect.
>Ross_Brown: DEENOQR - +0 286
#note From the two remaining tiles, I drew the Q. There was no place for it.
#note My best option at this point, I thought, is to keep a poker face and pass back so that Webster will continue to fear drawing the Q. In this way, I'd minimize the damage done to my spread.
>Webster_Phillips: AHIMSUV - +0 384
>Ross_Brown: DEENOQR - +0 286
>Webster_Phillips: AHIMSUV - +0 384
#note After several minutes, Webster checked with me to confirm what would happen to our scores if the game were to pass out, and again he passed.
>Ross_Brown: DEENOQR - +0 286
#note Mission accomplished. But I still lost by 100. :-)
>Ross_Brown: DEENOQR (DEENOQR) +-17 269
