#player1 Jeffrey Jeffrey #player2 Chris Chris >Jeffrey: ABPRUUZ 8G ZAP +28 28 #note Not much to really debate, although PUB is surprisingly high in the static eval. >Chris: IMNOSTT J6 MOST +27 27 #note EL:Man, I thought for sure this was telegraphing that you had an S to burn! >Jeffrey: BIIRUUY K5 BUY +25 53 #note best play again, not much to ponder >Chris: AEGINQT L4 QAT +33 60 >Jeffrey: DIILRRU M3 RID +25 78 #note static eval says LURID better in same spot, but I don't like his comeback chances. I suppose leaving him a slutty hook isn't much better. -10.2 >Chris: EGIINSX 2K EXING +31 91 >Jeffrey: EILRRUW 1H WEIR +23 101 #note Q likes U(G)LIER or WRIER/WIRER, -2.8 >Chris: AEINOOS G8 .OO +13 104 #note ELJEFE: Chris jokingly pulled a Kramer here for about 3 seconds by slapping down (Z)OOEA# but then picked it up. That is so '06! >Jeffrey: EILORTU K9 OUTLIER +66 167 #note If I had done the math (same pts.) I would have opted for this at 2C. As such, K9 was fine for a casual game >Chris: ADEINOS O1 A.ONISED +149 253 >Jeffrey: AABEMNO N8 AMOEBAN +79 246 #note EL: Q wants me to open up ANOTHER 9X with the same word at 11A? No thanks. I also saw the AMO(E)BEAN but this was better at reducing the volatility >Chris: AEGNORT 2C NEGATOR +67 320 >Jeffrey: DEILNRS D1 R.DLINES +72 318 #note Best. Didn't bother to look for something else, (discarded 14E spot quickly) but would have found ISL(A)NDER if I needed to. >Chris: ?AFILUV 8A VAU. +21 341 >Jeffrey: ?EEHINW 12D pINWHEE. +84 402 #note At this point, with my drawing fingers of gold we had a bit of an audience. Steve Glass hinted that there was a 7 in there, but I fiddled with it and slapped down pINWHEE(L) because I had not played it before. -17 for not finding WHItENE(R) (or lesser penalty for WHErEIN @ F9 or 11A) >Chris: ?EFFILP 15E PIFFLE.s +95 436 >Chris: ?EFFILP -- -95 341 #note ELJ: I held, recognized PIFFLE as a verb, but knew several more common verbs do not take -R. It would be outside of my prob. study (maybe 20K+ and I'm up to 14) if it were good, but I wisely challenged >Jeffrey: ACDGHRV 15H CHA.D +39 441 #note best >Chris: ?EFFILP 13I FL.P +24 365 >Jeffrey: ACGKRUV 5C V.GA +16 457 #note The Champ. Player likes B4 VACU(A) best. Normally the GKR leave would fellate, but on such a vowel-open board it's okay I guess. My first priority was adequately blocking/closing, and I thought 3 1/2 lanes was a worthy result. >Chris: ?EFIJLT F10 JI. +51 416 #note ELJ: too bad a spot's not open for JEFILTe* >Jeffrey: CEKRTUY O12 YEUK +60 517 #note Clearly the best play- 94% win prediction. Next is 11E K(I) for 75% chance. >Chris: ?EEFLOT A3 LEFTO.Er +64 480 #note ELJ: Just wow! Q says LO(V)EFEsT and Fo(V)EOLET are quiet opulent as well, but they equally get the job done. The phat 28-point outplay I have waiting in the wings (had Chris not outed) is quite suitable as well! >Chris: (CIRST) +14 494 #note
