>Ryan_Fischer: ?IILLOU -ILLUO +0 72
#note This is a really tough rack. I took a long time trying to figure out what to exchange. I think I threw in ILLOU, keeping I?. It doesn't make sense, given that there's an I out in the 2x2, but no other tiles make sense to keep. I don't like playing LOUI(E) or (V)IOL. Why open things up like that? Any sage advice anywhere on how to deal with situations like this?
>Amnon_Igra: AEIN J4 NAI.E +10 18
>Ryan_Fischer: ?EIOPSV M4 PlOSIVE +80 152
#note Well, whatever I exchanged, it worked. Best. This, or OVErSPI(N) 4C. Two cool finds, twice making the blank an L, one of my most loathed letters. Heh. Drawing like a beast, but I guess I'm earning it.
>Amnon_Igra: IQ I3 QI +23 41
>Ryan_Fischer: AEGGNPT 4H P..G +10 162
#note First glance, (I)GG does look best; don't know why I passed it up. I don't know which is better, AEGNT or AENPT. AGENT(IN)G or NEGAT(IN)G keeping P look like winners too. My play is weak, but I guess I was hoping to strike a third time, get some spread back.

>Ryan_Fischer: AELNRTT D4 TARLET.N +68 247
#note I learned this word long before its anagram, which totally slipped my mind during this game. ALTER(A)NT is much better.
>Amnon_Igra: INNOU O5 UNION +21 98
>Ryan_Fischer: AEHIOSY N10 HOYAS +51 298
#note Best.
>Amnon_Igra: AELRS 12B LASER +28 126
#note Oddly, this play doesn't even show up in the top 10.
>Ryan_Fischer: EEGILLN 12J LING. +18 316
#note Good way to bleed spread when ahead: setup an X hotspot. Better choices: just LE(Y) for 12, with no sim.
>Amnon_Igra: CKU 8A CUK. +30 156
>Ryan_Fischer: AAEEFLO C2 LEAF +21 337
#note B10 FE(L)LOE 34. Or just FE(L)LA is fine, too.
>Amnon_Igra: AWX 11I WAX +46 202
>Ryan_Fischer: ABDEIOZ E3 ZED +43 380
#note O13 BIZ 48 is 5 more. 10I AB 27 keeping DEIOZ is another cool alternative. C10 DI(A)ZO is neat, but why open a lane?
>Amnon_Igra: EFST B10 FE.TS +32 234
>Ryan_Fischer: ABCHIIO 13G OBIA +11 391
#note Biggest miss of the game, but I guess I was trying to shut down the bottom. Playing a bit more conservatively than I normally would, as I've found it's a good way to lose spread and lose games if you don't. O13 HIC 31, though. DUH.
>Amnon_Igra: RR H13 .RR +15 249
>Ryan_Fischer: ACHIOTY 15H .OACH +14 405
#note HOY O13 34, which I saw. I wanted to close off longshot bingos through the R, though. Maybe a bit too defensive.
>Amnon_Igra: MOT O13 MOT +21 270
#note Wholly shit! Betcha can't find my star play. Betcha Cappelletto couldn't find the star play! :)
>Ryan_Fischer: DEIIRTY N2 DYE +18 423
#note RI(G)ID(I)TY K2 35!
>Amnon_Igra: DNTUU G6 D...NT +14 284
#note This, OTOH, was a nice find.
>Ryan_Fischer: IIRT 3E .IT +13 436
#note IR(E) 3A for the block.
