#note After the first two games of the afternoon, I was so shocked that a bingo materialized, that I didn't even give my rack credit for being a 7. It's that kind of thinking that so often does me in, and I get punished brutally for it. Maybe I'll learn this time.

>dacrON: AEIIKLO H1 AIKI.O +36 121
>Nigel: JO 11E JO +20 159
>dacrON: EGILMSW L4 W.G +14 135
#note M2 WIGS wins the sim. Probably because W(A)G blocks too much to sacrifice 21 points.
>Nigel: LOO 12D LOO +18 177
>dacrON: AEIILMS H10 .IMIAL +33 168
#note This seemed like a good opportunity to sneak one by, versus 4A MILIA. It also got my head back on straight, reminding myself that I'm a capable player and that RENDZINA hasn't killed me.

>dacrON: CCELRST 13J R.CCE +18 284
#note Any thoughts here? This seems like a decent opening.
>Nigel: IQTU N10 QUI.T +68 382
#note Nigel mentioned both the Q and U showed up after FI(R)RY.
>dacrON: AEEHLST 6E EH +29 313
#note Is there a better option here?
>Nigel: FINO O8 FOIN +34 416
>dacrON: AAELPST 14B PA +12 325
#note I don't see how playing at M1 can ever win me the game. I don't really see how this does either, but I thought maybe it'd allow me something I didn't think of.
>Nigel: ?DEENUX 4L .E +5 421
#note Actual rack.
>dacrON: AEELSTT 3B .T +8 333
#note Don't think I can trust a sim here. Nigel's obviously got some firepower on his rack - I'm hoping the X isn't among it and I can sneak LATEXES down with a lucky draw, while he misses a draw. Even that's unlikely to make a play like this. And even so, this seems like a pretty reliable play for bingoing next turn anyway to cut spread.
>Nigel: ?DENUVX N1 UNVeXED +93 514
>dacrON: AEEGLST A8 TELEGAS +85 418
>dacrON: (BDG) +14 432
#note Deserved this loss. Although it is reassuring to see that after I put my head back on straight, I played quite well (I think?)
