Game 1: Postmortem

Close, uneventful game for Trev. He lost to David Webb.

I missed a few words in game 1 that would have made a difference: DGILNSU, ABDLLORS. I was behind holding ABIRTT and a blank. There was a floating E so played TITRABLE and thought the game was mine but Evans responded with TRUSTEE and emptied the bag. If had played BATTERIE or BRATTICE instead of TITRABLE I had a good chance of winning. I en had to find a win with ZIONPQR which was not possible.

Game 1 Evans Clinchy lost 363 to 405 (0-1)
