#note Missing a bingo you have studied before is a great way to begin a tournament! I doubted the word because I remembered something else about PLUMAGE; i.e PLUMAGED is good.

But come on, I studied this word not too long ago!

Also doubting PLUMY and not knowing RUMPLY, I make the 3rd best play.
>Siri_Tellekeratne: FHOO G10 HOOF +30 30

>Siri_Tellekeratne: IIIII -IIIII +0 48
>Joshua_Sokol: EGNRTUW 11D WE +27 126
#note I figured this might be too tame and that 14A NEW or TEW could be better than this. My leave is going absolutely nowhere on this board but I'm totally fine with that. I would play 14C WERT perhaps against someone else.
>Siri_Tellekeratne: ?ILNORS 14E NOStRIL +71 119
#note J2 NeROLIS. I think WERT might have been correct last turn.
>Joshua_Sokol: EGNRTUV 15A VERTU +29 155
#note luckily I draw an E here.
>Siri_Tellekeratne: ABCK 13J BACK +30 149

#note whee

>Joshua_Sokol: AEMNTWZ 14N WE +23 282
#note Took a long time deliberating herer between nothing and this. I just didn't see anything else that I liked. I saw W(I)Z, I think that's the thing I considered the most. I also considered NAZ(I). I think I was distracted here, but came to the right conclusion that I should keep the Z and play defense here. Lots of E's to come and I can hit Siri back hard if he hits an unlikely bingo after this.
>Siri_Tellekeratne: CDEOP 4J COPED +31 242
>Joshua_Sokol: AEMNOTZ 2B MONAZ.TE +128 410
#note But I mean... come on...
>Siri_Tellekeratne: AB 1H AB +22 264
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EEILRS M3 L.ERIESt +75 485
#note lol...

Chickened out of LEISTERED here. Not happy about that one bit. I should know that by now.
>Siri_Tellekeratne: DLS 8L D.LS +21 285
>Joshua_Sokol: GIIIJTU 1A JUG +40 525
#note Quackle is going to suggest something stupid here I bet. Something nobody would ever consider.

Yup. It likes L8 (D)UIT. Why??? -14.6.

I intuited that this would be close with JUT in the same spot just because the G scores better than the T in the endgame, but I guess there is no bingo to block? I guess I got almost as far as seeing the crazy play that does best. I did consider N1 GUI(D), which also does better than just scoring now.
>Siri_Tellekeratne: EEHIORS 14B EH +29 314
#note cool find anad best play!
>Joshua_Sokol: EIIIRT N1 IRI. +12 537
#note Quackle says it's better to play ETI(C) first. 1 point worse. If he blocks IRI(D) I can go out with (S)IRI ;)
>Siri_Tellekeratne: EIORS J1 OS +31 345
#note go out. -12
>Joshua_Sokol: EIT L10 ETI. +13 550
>Joshua_Sokol: (EIR) +6 556
