Round 10 Auto-Commentary

Michael Fagen (Montreal QC) remains in the lead for the 3rd consecutive round, 9-1 +697, on a 9-game winning streak. Joey Krafchick (Dallas, TX) is 1 game behind at 8-2 +713, #2 rising from #3. Orry Swift (Houston, TX) is +619, on a 3-game winning streak, #3 sliding from #2. Robin Pollock Daniel (Toronto ON) is 2 games behind the leader at 7-3 +655, #4 rising from #5. Joe Edley (San Francisco, CA) is +265, #5 dropping from #4. Clay Daniel (Charlottesville, VA) is +97, #6 climbing from #11. John Karris (Santa Fe, NM) is +76, on a 3-game winning streak, #7 rising from #10.

High Win: Maddy Kamen (Delray Beach, FL) 647-333 vs. Joey Payne (San Diego, CA). Low Win: Orry Swift (Houston, TX) 301-284 vs. Andy Hoang (Cary, NC). High Loss: Jeff Cook (Keyser, WV) 432-459 vs. John Karris (Santa Fe, NM). Low Loss: Julia Bogle (Indianapolis, IN) 268-346 vs. Mark Miller (King of Prussia, PA).

That low win of Orry's is noteworthy in that the game ended with only 73 tiles on the board, with all but two of them in rows 7-15 and columns C-O. Orry, who had drawn his second blank on his fourth turn, but saw no need to open the board for Andy, could have kept the game going with bUR(GOO) from his final rack of ??NRRUU, but took the win instead.
