Annotated Game - Reno Round 21

[rafij52]

This was not one of my better games, as I made two pretty bad mistakes. However, there were multiple very interesting decisions, especially in the endgame. Strategically, this was probably one of my most interesting games from Reno.

Check out the scenario with 2 in the bag, where curtesy tiles made a big difference in choosing the correct play.

Yeah, I didn't notice that at all. Guess I really screwed up the pre-endgame!

Might steal the 2 tiles in bag preendgame for book, but probably not. I only looked for about 3 minutes, but I think the play is RYE, setting up OUTVOTE or QUOTE. Any block is basically suicide. It's WAY better than either play you suggested.

Well Jeff was very low on time, and I thought my plan would work, so I didn't take nearly as much time as necessary to find possible set up plays. I thought I had Z stuck him, and didn't realize that he would get ZEE by drawing the E.
