Annotated Game - Reno Round 23

[rafij52]

A very close game against Nick Meyer. Made a few silly mistakes midway through, but still squeaked by with the win.

The AEGILOV rack is pretty interesting, as well as the AEINUUS rack.

- I like your annotations. They're very honest and refreshing.
- My personal favorite move from this game was Nick's playing BADGER. Now if only MUSHROOM and SNAKE could have appeared on this board.
- T-minus seven days to HUGGLES! ;)

Yeah, Nationals is going to be awesome. I look forward to it all year!

I'll never forget MAUND due to my anecdote against Dean, I guess. Before that, I remember seeing it in some Joe Edley annotation where he said after an early MAUN overlap that the board was already getting tight since MAUN took only D.

I also enjoyed your annotations. There actually were a few mistakes/misses here for a change, which is giving me hope... most of your games are close to error free which is discouraging to watch, given the usual assortment of red ink in my scorebook. That's meant as a compliment! :-)

See you in a few days at the big show. Maybe we'll get a chance at another game.

Yeah the MAUND mistake was weird. Usually "feeling" 90% sure means I'm actually right 95-100% of the time, so I shouldn't have been afraid to play it.

See you in a week!

And thanks for the comment on my annotation, I really appreciate the positive feedback!
