Game 30: I'm out

Max had a dream game. I can no longer finish top half

Game 29

Game 28

Made a few mistakes and gave Odette a massive 50 point play in a close endgame. She was smart enough to allow my phony to stay

Game 27

With 9 tiles left in the bag I had a 64 point lead. Both blanks were unseen so I assumed Taewan would have at least 1. I decided to eliminate the highest scoring bonus line because ANTIQUER would score over 130. I played PATY so that whatever he did would score quite low and/or open a triple for me. Lo and behold, I picked both blanks on move 10 and thus secured my second win for the day. I have to now win 3/4 of the last 4 games to get a top 50 finish.

Game 26

Game 25

Fascinating endgame

Game 24
