>Jeffrey: BRR 10F BRR +23 31
>Matt_Zeleznik: DEFHOST H10 .ESHOD +33 47
#note Hated all of the closed options, so points are nice in the beginning of the game, especially when you're the favorite.
>Jeffrey: AEENORT 12F RE.ONATE +66 97
>Matt_Zeleznik: DEFGPTT 13K DEFT +31 78
>Jeffrey: EKOY 11C YOKE +30 127
>Matt_Zeleznik: ADGPRST 11K PARD +35 113
#note I understand the arguments for GAD. Probably a mistake. I just hate lugging around consonants.
>Jeffrey: MN I11 N.M +20 147
>Matt_Zeleznik: ?DEGRST O5 TRuDGES +82 195
>Jeffrey: ALUV 5K VAUL. +16 163
#note starting to do the work for me...
>Matt_Zeleznik: ?EINWYZ 12B YEW +33 228
#note a setup that is always blocked but still worth a try.

Didn't see WYN, I like it for defense, but I cmon I have the blank, too early to start Gibsoning
>Jeffrey: ORU 10A OUR +11 174
#note Very peculiar play. Maybe he really did snuff out my setup. Dumps the U for 10 points. The O isn't really a lane, so he is pretty much down to 2 now.
>Matt_Zeleznik: ?EIJOWZ G14 JO +21 249
#note People that aren't closed board people will hate this play. But it scores okay with my worst letter, takes out the deadliest lane, keeps scoring tiles and the blank. I'll still be up after GOO[S] bingos and I'll have the Z and blank. I like that position.

>Jeffrey: AT 10M TA. +17 191
>Matt_Zeleznik: ?AINUWZ 7H WUZ +21 270
#note I hated WUZ for his odds of keeping a T on the last play. AIN? is a great leave, but not when you've taken out all the lanes.

But I figured he HAS to open here right, if he doesn't bingo with [T]WO. Hopefully I can pounce on it.
>Jeffrey: AL 8J AL +13 204
#note Or ...he can jjust make it increasingly hard to block [T]WO
>Matt_Zeleznik: ?AAEIIN 14M AIN +18 288
#note Prob just AI here.
>Jeffrey: HIT 6F HIT +20 224
#note Not a good opening! Play through the O, keep your [T]WO bingos alive. This only works when I have all IIIIs... which I almost did.

If I have a BCCGFVXLL I can make your life miserable. I'd play THIO.
>Matt_Zeleznik: ?AEIPUV 5D VAU +17 305
#note I like UVEA a lot better in retrospect. Duplicates the U out in space rather than offering a V.

Worried about forking plays with the N[U]. Only one G out for GNU, but still enough to scare a closed boarder like me.
>Jeffrey: CEII D3 CI.IE +20 244
>Matt_Zeleznik: ?CEEINP 3B PI.NiC +28 333
#note time to make Jeffrey hate me. But seriously I don't get how PE wins 99% of the time. What happens when he has EXCITONS??? or something. Then it's neck and neck and either one of us can outrun.
>Jeffrey: BEGS 8A BEGS +36 280
>Matt_Zeleznik: AEEFIIL L4 F.IL +14 347
#note Says it all for me right there. Worst play of the tournament.
>Jeffrey: AX 2E AX +51 331
>Matt_Zeleznik: AEEIMNO B1 IM.ONE +24 371
>Jeffrey: EILS 15L ISLE +33 364
