>Siddharth_Murali: CGMOORT 8G MOG +12 12
#note (reedited on 8/28/18)
>David_Gibson: DEZ 7F ZED +22 22
#note Had I opened with COG, David's options would have been much more limited. At the time, I spaced on the defensive merits of COG, and went with the equity. After the game, David said he preferred COG by a million.
>Siddharth_Murali: ACORRTV 6H ARVO +19 31
#note David didn't like ARVO when I asked him about it, rightfully so. Not sure what's the right alternative though.
>David_Gibson: DEIORSW K5 W.ODSIER +98 120
>Siddharth_Murali: ACLMQTT 10J Q. +31 62
>David_Gibson: GI 11I GI. +15 135
>Siddharth_Murali: ACLMRTT 7C CRA... +21 83
#note David said after the game that he would have also played CRAZED here. -MLT is also competitive even though ACRT doesn't go on this board. Unsure.
>David_Gibson: JOT E4 JOT. +22 157
>Siddharth_Murali: DEHLMTT L11 DELT +20 103
#note I think TH(O)LED is far better, despite knowing that I'm playing David- DELT opens the board in the wrong way, a way that he can score 40 and shut it back down.
>David_Gibson: AEK 15J KEA +15 172
#note Any possible rack for him this turn (based on his next play) shows that he has a 35 point play available, but he's the goat because he knows points don't matter.
>Siddharth_Murali: AAEHMNT 8K .EATH +30 133
#note At the time, I thought this was much better than HAJ. I'm not sure if I agree with my old logic. Despite opening the board when down, DEATH lets him bingo 27% as opposed to 14% after HAJ, but I bingo only 23% as opposed to 33% after HAJ. Given that he played KEA, those numbers only get inflated, making this play worse. Opening the board when down is still bad if it's much more beneficial to him than me.
>David_Gibson: ?AANNOS O8 .OsANNAS +83 255
>Siddharth_Murali: ABEMNPT M7 B.P +13 146
#note I think BEAM for 32 is better, despite the significantly worse leave (Quackle has B(A)P ahead). I need to score such that my eventual bingo can actually pull me within a reasonable margin.
>David_Gibson: ?EFILRS 4B FRI.oLES +86 341
#note He would have done tRIFLES 9B on a do-over.
>Siddharth_Murali: ADEMNTU 3I UNMATED +75 221
#note David held this for about a minute, then accepted.
>David_Gibson: EHY 2L YEH +35 376
>Siddharth_Murali: AIORSUX M12 XI +32 253
#note Totally missed RAX for 48 here, but I think this is better.
>David_Gibson: EEPV 1I VEEP +23 399
>Siddharth_Murali: ABIORSU C7 .ARIBOUS +76 329
>David_Gibson: ILTU 11C .UILT +14 413
>Siddharth_Murali: FINNOOT 10B F.NO +19 348
#note I remember spending 8 minutes on this turn, but this is about as good as it gets here.
>David_Gibson: LY E10 ..LY +7 420
>Siddharth_Murali: CEINNOT F3 N. +1 349
#note This was the dumbest play ever... :(
>David_Gibson: AEGIRUW B2 WA.ER +26 446
>Siddharth_Murali: CEIINOT C1 COI. +21 370
#note We both miserably failed on this endgame. His WAGER was 21 off, and this was 25 off, or something like that.
>David_Gibson: GIU N6 GI. +12 458
>Siddharth_Murali: EINT B13 NIT +12 382
>David_Gibson: U G7 ..U +6 464
>David_Gibson: (E) +2 466
