>Jeremy_Khoo: DDEFINP H4 FIEND +26 26
>JD: AEEILOU I6 EUOI +14 14
>Jeremy_Khoo: DGHMPRV -GHMPV +0 26
>JD: AAADELO 4H .OALED +20 34
#note JD: tough play. why does FOALED sim better than FEODAL (which I didn't know)?
>Jeremy_Khoo: AADIRST K1 TAI.ARDS +68 94
#note JK: Relieved to see Jesse float the L
>JD: AACEEMR 1E MACERA.E +89 123
#note JD: lucky draw
>Jeremy_Khoo: GILNQRS 2D QIN +22 116
#note JK: QIN beats just dropping the Q for 11 - the board is just not friendly to GILNRS at the moment. Exchanging LQ is an option but has the same issue with the board not favouring the leave and 22 is probably too many points to pass.
>JD: CGLTUYZ G7 GUY +23 146
#note bad miss. didn't know GALUT. missed GUQIN and TALCY.
>Jeremy_Khoo: GILPRRS 8K .PRIG +33 149
>JD: CELOOTZ N6 ZO.C +35 181
#note JD: feels like I rushed this play a little in retrospect. ZITE is an easy 45 points. this isn't too much worse on a sim, but definitely worse.
>Jeremy_Khoo: BDLRSTT 2J B.LDS +40 189
>JD: AAEILOT M2 .A.O +12 193
#note JD: missed the idea of fishing across AZOIC - OAT scores 10 more!
>Jeremy_Khoo: AIRTTUV 3C VIRTU +37 226
>JD: AEIKLRT J9 TALKIER +67 260
>Jeremy_Khoo: AAEGLRT 15H LA.GE +21 247
#note JK: TERGAL does a bit better on sim than LARGE; not sure why tbh
>JD: ?ENNNOV 4D NO +34 294
#note JD: I had NONEVENT ready to go, but NONNOVEL escaped me - even had I seen it, it would've been tough to build up the courage to play it.
>Jeremy_Khoo: AIMORST F9 AMORIST +72 319
#note JK: I wanted to make it as difficult as possible for Jesse to bingo. I felt even trading bingoes would be a losing proposition since he would have tempo and I would be emptying the bag. However the other bingo options - 10B AMORIST, 11F MORALIST - both sim better, most likely because my play creates exactly one high-scoring hotspot that Jesse can take and leave me with limited options
>JD: ?EENNTV 13A VENET.aN +70 364
#note JD: it's pretty interesting how much better VENETIAN is than REINVENT. Even though REINVENT doesn't give much back, there is one massive hotspot on the board, and after Jeremy covers it I won't get much. VENETIAN actually seems to work out better because it creates multiple places to score, so less likely that Jeremy scores 50 and ties the game. Q even likes EVENTING at 13A, which seems crazy.
>Jeremy_Khoo: BEEHSTY E9 HEY +41 360
>JD: ?FHIWWX 8A WHIFt +60 424
>JD: ENOUWX (challenge) +5 429
#note JD: score and hope - we initially looked this up on a TWL challenge computer by accident and it came back no good! fortunately Matt Bernardina and Rob Robinsky alertly warned us that we had used the wrong computer
>Jeremy_Khoo: BEJOPST B10 JOB.S +60 420
>JD: ENOUWX 7B EXO +45 474
#note JD: best is WOXEN/LARGEN which I didn't spot
>Jeremy_Khoo: EPT C11 PE.T +16 436
#note JK: KEPT
>Jeremy_Khoo: (NUW) +12 448
