#player2 Jonathan_Lindh Jonathan Lindh
>Darin_True: ?ADEOOY - +0 0
#note November 2023 WGPO Madison Tournament. Game 5. Exchange 2. Not actual rack.
>Jonathan_Lindh: CIOPWXY 8D WICOPY +40 40
#note I think this is best after an exchange 2. Another cool 6.
>Darin_True: AA 9H AA +13 13
>Jonathan_Lindh: BINRSVX G7 R.B +17 57
#note 10F VINS for 26 is best because it strangles the board. ROB is in the top 10.
>Darin_True: ?AEGHNT E4 GHAN.TEs +94 107
#note VINS also prevents this bingo from going down. Except Darin transposed GAHNITES* and none of us caught it until the next day. The phony GHANITES* looks more plausible than its real twin GAHNITES.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?IJNSVX F10 XI +51 108
#note Seems fine.
>Darin_True: DIOYZ 4C ZY.OID +44 151
#note A nice 6 from one of my opponents.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?JNRSTV 6D R.J +26 134
#note Seems fine.
>Darin_True: AEGU C1 GAU.E +30 181
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?ELNSTV 3G LEVaNTS +84 218
#note Best.
>Darin_True: AADG 1A DA.GA +30 211
>Jonathan_Lindh: DPRSSST 7I PSST +20 238
#note Best. I have never played this word in my life and may never play it again.
>Darin_True: FL H1 FL.. +24 235
>Jonathan_Lindh: DILRRSV 2B R.ID +20 258
#note Close, should be LAIRD in the same spot.
>Darin_True: ANTU 8L AUNT +18 253
>Jonathan_Lindh: HLLRSTV J2 H.LL +14 272
#note Best. Sneaky S setup.
>Darin_True: EEF L1 FE.E +22 275
>Jonathan_Lindh: MOORSTV 1L .ORM +27 299
#note Nowhere for VROOM to go. FORM seems fine.
>Darin_True: MUW M3 .WUM +14 289
>Jonathan_Lindh: EIOQSTV 10D V..ES +26 325
#note Very hard position. The Championship Player likes N8 NEVI for 15 which I don't get. K7 STOVE or exchanging to EIST are good possibilities. Exchanging puts a lot of pressure on you bingoing and the pool is heavy on E's and I's which might be a reason not to exchange. VEXES does score a lot at least. When added to a simulation, it performs pretty well.
>Darin_True: IN K5 IN. +10 299
>Jonathan_Lindh: EIOOQTT 9M TOO +11 336
#note I like N5 TOONIE for 18 in retrospect. There are no S's in the pool so i need to block bingos as much as possible while still scoring. TOO is about number 7.
>Darin_True: CEEIINR 11H EIRENIC +74 373
#note TOONIE blocks EIRENIC, although Darin will probably fish and attempt to hit column B, which I can't easily block.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEEEIQT L11 .EE +6 342
#note Fishing for B5 ANTIQUE. Quackle thinks NEE is 2nd behind L10 ENATE for 10. ENATE would have been a disaster for me. I stand by NEE.
>Darin_True: ADKN 13J KN.AD +20 393
#note KNEAD would score 40 points if I did ENATE.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABEIIQT 14I QI +21 363
#note Best. Annoyingly, I blocked my own NIQAB, although there's no way i could have known that last turn.
>Darin_True: EOOORU 15J ROUE +12 405
#note Best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABEIT 14M TAB +19 382
#note N4 ETA for 19 is best but I mistracked Darin by one letter. Darin is also down to about 12 seconds.
>Darin_True: OO 6M .OO +7 412
#note Slow playing with O14 BO for 12 is best but Darin is almost out of time.
>Darin_True: (EI) +4 416
