>David_Weisberg: ?EHIRST 8D HIRSuTE +76 76
>Randy_Hersom: ACEEINU G1 EUCAINE. +64 64
>David_Weisberg: BELOOUW 1D BOW.L +39 115
>Randy_Hersom: AIO I6 IO.A +6 70
>David_Weisberg: ELLOQUY 4D EQU.LLY +40 155
#note I told Randy after the game how, if there were a B at E6, I'd have E5 OBLIQUELY 142. Also sadly just a letter off from COLLOQUY.
>Randy_Hersom: AEFGRSS J7 S.RFAGES +76 146
>David_Weisberg: ?ELNOTV 11G cOV.LENT +70 225
#note 13H OVERLENT 78 sims about 5.5 points better. I'm not sure if I saw it. It might have been a difficult decision but I can see taking the points here since two triples are opened.
>Randy_Hersom: AKOOZ 7A KAZOO +35 181
>David_Weisberg: EFIIIRU A7 .UFI +33 258
>Randy_Hersom: DMOO 12L MOOD +30 211
>David_Weisberg: EEIINRR O12 .IRE +15 273
#note I wasn't sure of RESINIER. I think I had seen it but it was added during my hiatus, so it wasn't ingrained.
>Randy_Hersom: ADDEERT 14D DREADE.T +62 273
>David_Weisberg: AABEINR 15G BA +25 298
#note Tunnel vision here. 5B BANI 36 is much better, coming out 9 points ahead of BA. 15G BAN 30 sims evenly with BA.
>Randy_Hersom: AITX 5B TAXI +53 326
#note Instant karma
>David_Weisberg: AEIIMNR 15A MINA +25 323
#note 15A MINAE is preferred in the sim by 2 points. With only 2 E's unseen, I wanted to hang onto one.
>Randy_Hersom: AGJS 3A JAGS +34 360
>David_Weisberg: CEIINRW B2 W.I. +14 337
#note I wasn't sure what to do. Had I seen it, I13 WEN 24 would have been best. It sims 8 points ahead of my play. J1 WINY 12 also sims 2 better than WAIT. With few vowels left unseen, I might have a better chance of using the triple than him.
>Randy_Hersom: ENVY 5J ENVY +25 385
>David_Weisberg: CDEEINR G10 I.E +2 339
#note It seemed I'd need a bingo to win now, and this opened row 12. The problem is, even with all consonants, he easily blocks it. I'm not sure I noticed how row 3 became much more of a bingo line after ENVY, or I might have gone for something like ERODENT. The sim likes G13 CAB 10 and thinks it bingos 10% of the time (as it also says for ICE), but I think if I play CAB (or even 15M ICE 5 to go for ERODENT), Randy simply blocks the upper right quadrant. I don't see any realistic wins now.
>Randy_Hersom: GHNRU 12C HUNG.R +25 410
>David_Weisberg: CDENOPR M2 COP. +22 361
#note B7 APED 27 or N11 TOPED 27 are optimal, going out with M1 CORNY / CRONY 20. Or, the reverse of this works the same.
>Randy_Hersom: PTT I13 P.T +20 430
>David_Weisberg: DENR 13L ED +19 380
#note Better than going out with DRONE for 6, but I missed 3J REDON 12.
>Randy_Hersom: T J3 T.. +6 436
>Randy_Hersom: (NR) +4 440
