>Lucas_Freeman: EOOOPSX 13G POX +51 123
#note OXEN or just OX are slight improvements here. It's worth 6 points to keep a more balanced leave.
>Joel_Wapnick: ILPU M10 PULI +27 151
>Lucas_Freeman: EMOORRS D5 SOM.RERO +74 197
#note I knew STELENE did not take an S, so I didn't play MOROSER at 15G. This will be important later.
>Joel_Wapnick: MO H12 ..OM +45 196
>Lucas_Freeman: EFGIOTT 6C G.OF +16 213
#note TITFER E3 is a huge miss.

#note Word knowledge error. Didn't know REEN 9D.
>Joel_Wapnick: IIIIU -IIIIU +0 264
>Lucas_Freeman: AEKNOST 15K SKEAN +49 293
>Lucas_Freeman: AEKNOST -- -49 244
#note Dumping the K at 5B is the obvious choice. I knew STELENE did not take the mouse but I plunked this down anyway. I was hot, tired, and losing focus.
>Joel_Wapnick: HHU C10 HUH +23 287
>Lucas_Freeman: AEKNOST 5B ...K +30 274
>Joel_Wapnick: ?ABDINS 6H BANDItS +68 355
#note The blank is a T. This will be important later.
>Lucas_Freeman: AENOSTY J14 YO +26 300
>Joel_Wapnick: AEFT 5I FEAT +29 384
>Lucas_Freeman: AEGNSTU 13B GU +26 326
#note I should have played GUS. The S does me little good on this board when I'm reading the blanks correctly.
>Joel_Wapnick: EY J10 YE. +29 413
>Lucas_Freeman: ACEINST O3 ACETINS +96 422
>Lucas_Freeman: ACEINST -- -96 326
#note I'd read the blank as an E the whole time. Were I right, this would easily have been the best play. ENTASTIC was best though, and ACETINS came off in a heartbeat. Embarrassing mistake, especially just four moves after SKEAN.
>Joel_Wapnick: DINW N2 WIND. +18 431
>Lucas_Freeman: ACEINST 9F ANT +25 351
#note FANG I5 gives me a little hope still, though I clearly didn't deserve it.
>Joel_Wapnick: ARU 15E ARU. +6 437
>Lucas_Freeman: CEIJSTW 11B J... +11 362
#note Leaving too many points on the board. JEWS B7 scores a ton and still offers an -ITIC bingo in the northeast quadrant. DIORITIC looks like a reasonable shot if Wapnick doesn't block.
>Joel_Wapnick: ATV M1 VAT +21 458
>Lucas_Freeman: CEIISTW 14A WIST +31 393
>Joel_Wapnick: CINORRS 15A ON +25 483

>Joel_Wapnick: CIRRS N8 CRIS +16 499
>Lucas_Freeman: I I8 .I +9 416
#note Miraculously, I was still in first place after this game.
