>Matthew_O'Connor: ?ELRSUU 8C REgULUS +64 64
>Winter: AGIISTY 7F YAGI +24 24
>Matthew_O'Connor: ?AAFNRT C7 F.AgRANT +80 144
>Winter: AEINSTW 6I AWNIEST +73 97
#note Trying to keep board as open as possible, and this seems to do it better than TAWNIES or WANTIES, which Quackle favours.
>Matthew_O'Connor: BDEJL M2 DJEB.L +34 178
#note He's hit four power tiles in three turns, and I'm started to get discouraged.
>Winter: CGIORTZ B12 ZOIC +47 144
#note But I could easily catch up if he cannot hit this spot.
>Matthew_O'Connor: EP D12 PE +39 217
>Winter: ADGOORT N1 GOOD +30 174
>Matthew_O'Connor: ILRTW 4H TWIRL.. +24 241
>Winter: AADERRT K6 .ARRATED +68 242
#note HOPE!!!
>Matthew_O'Connor: FIKN L12 FINK +45 286
#note Ouch.
>Winter: AEIIMNO M13 MOI +30 272
#note Considered IO, favoured by Quackle but I didn't want to fall so far behind that I needed a bingo to win. At this point, one weak turn by Matthew is all I need to catch up.
>Matthew_O'Connor: BEO O1 OBE +40 326
>Winter: AEINSTV N8 VAINEST +87 359
#note AARRGHH!!! WHIFFED ON THE BETTER OVERLAP!!!
>Matthew_O'Connor: OY J9 OY +28 354
>Winter: ACHIIUU 5E CHIA +20 379
#note Did not see (R)AHUI, so I really strggled with this rack, and in the end I screwed it up. My thinking was to kill the board with (T)I, but I put the A there instead. If Matthew had bit the bingo, I would have deserved the loss.
>Matthew_O'Connor: EGN 9F GEN +20 374

>Winter: ILMNTUX 3J XU +20 424
>Matthew_O'Connor: DEO M9 DOE +16 410
>Winter: AILMNOT B2 MANITO +25 449
#note I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to optimise my spread, but I was mentally exhausted and finally decided to just take the win before I made a mistake.
