>Jonathan_Lindh: AAGHINV 8D HAVING +34 34
#note This was a must win game for me (or anybody else other than Steve) to have a shot at winning the tournament. HAVING looks best.
>Steve_Grob: HOO 7C OOH +17 17
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEJNOSU 9C JOE +30 64
#note 2nd best to 6D SAJOU for 40. SAJOU is hard to see.
>Steve_Grob: ELRU C9 .UREL +24 41
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEINSUW D12 WAIN +28 92
#note 2nd best to 13C LAUWINES for 63, a word I should not miss.
>Steve_Grob: IINOY I6 YO.INI +12 53
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABEEMSU H11 AMUSE +32 124
#note Close. H11 ABUSE for 32 is best. M>B. I saw ABUSE after the game.
>Steve_Grob: AEIRVW J2 WAVIER +31 84
>Jonathan_Lindh: BDDELLS 3I B.LLED +24 148
#note Very close again. 3I BALDED for 26 in the same spot.
>Steve_Grob: GILTZ K7 GLITZ +34 118
>Jonathan_Lindh: CDERSSY 12J CYDER +41 189
#note Got this one right. CYDER is best by a lot.
>Steve_Grob: EEK 15A KEE. +24 142
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAIRSSU O8 AURIS +31 220
#note Quackle likes AURAS in the same spot by a tiny bit over AURIS here. AURIS is fine, though.
>Steve_Grob: BFO 2M FOB +27 169
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAADOQS 13F AQ.A +24 244
#note Best.
>Steve_Grob: DI 14F DI. +26 195
>Jonathan_Lindh: AADOOPS 4L ODA +23 267
#note DIS flashed warning chimes for a bingo in my mind. I figured Steve was close to a bingo, but I can't block columns columns G and M at once, so I decided to go for the static equity play of ODA and go for a bingo of my own in whatever line Steve does not bingo through. Quackle likes M9 POOED for 22 over ODA by a small amount, but for the reasons I mentioned, I am fine with ODA.
>Steve_Grob: ?EOPSTT M7 POTTE.nS +76 271
#note I was not stopping Steve from bingoing.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AEIOPS 14J POI.E +26 293
#note Looks good.
>Steve_Grob: EF 15N FE +20 291
#note Steve said he debated blocking column G, but I doubt he could do it for very much, plus he just gets outrun most of the time.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AMNRST G2 tRANSM.T +64 357
#note SMARTING, MISTRAIN, TANTRISM, and TAMARINS are the bingos that are 100% wins. TRANSMIT gives back an XU bomb so there are a few draws where TRANSMIT does not win. A little bit of a lazy play, although TRANSMIT does score the most.
>Steve_Grob: CENNRTT B10 NET +17 308
#note 4C NECTAR for 18 to block XU.
>Jonathan_Lindh: GUX H4 XU +36 393
#note Best.
>Steve_Grob: CNRT N1 C... +7 315
#note 11A CERT for 14.
>Jonathan_Lindh: G F12 G.. +5 398
#note Best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: (NRT) +6 404
