>Joshua_Castellano: IQ 8G QI +22 22
#note Josh gave me his racks and we annotated this game together, but then he deleted the game... Too bad
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEEGNT 7H AGENTED +64 64
#note whammo
>Joshua_Castellano: OX 8N OX +30 52
>Joshua_Sokol: AEILOSY 6J YO +28 92
#note aggro Josh wins too many games
>Joshua_Castellano: EOR 5I ORE +18 70
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEILPS M7 .SPECIAL +90 182
#note way too many
>Joshua_Castellano: NVY 12L V.NY +28 98
>Joshua_Sokol: EIINOTU G8 .UOIT +15 197
#note aggro Josh should have played OUT(L)IE at 14J.
>Joshua_Castellano: AEENRSW 13A WEANERS +88 186
#note I actually could not remember that this was a word, so I held and released. Joe Edley then spoke from one game over: "Well, at least I can say that at this tournament, someone held WEANERS!"... Needless to say, Castellano was surprised that this pun came out of the mouth of a man he idolizes!
>Joshua_Sokol: EIIMMNT D7 IMMINE.T +80 277
>Joshua_Castellano: OUV - +0 186
#note It's great to have someone challenge normal words. Usually I'm the one that does that.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EGIJRR B7 JIgGER.R +88 365
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EGIJRR -- -88 277
#note That last comment is very apropos to this turn.
>Joshua_Castellano: OUV 8A OVU. +27 213
#note "You'd better block REJIGG(E)R!", I said jokingly. Little did I know REJIGGER is a normal word and it is valid in Scrabble.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EGIJRR H1 REJIG +47 324
>Joshua_Castellano: KLO O12 .OLK +33 246
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADDFGR B10 FAD.D +36 360
>Joshua_Castellano: BINRSTT 2D BITT.RNS +64 310
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AACGLR A13 .AG +24 384
#note 1A plays like GRAAL, ARGAL and CRAAL are better, although I was quite afraid of the Z. ZO(W)IE seems much less likely than plays at K1 such as AZOTE, but I need to start blocking those.
>Joshua_Castellano: IZ D2 .IZ +28 338
#note relieved to see this come down. It means I blocked a huge 48 points at 13A. I think Josh needs to keep his Z and try for a huge score at K1 or maybe A1.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AACLRW E4 AWL +23 407
>Joshua_Castellano: EHU 3K HUE +17 355
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ACIORR 1K ACORn +33 440
#note Oh, earlier I should have fished for m(A)G(N)IF(I)CAL at 11A. I did spend a lot of time looking for crazy 9s and 10s that either I or my opponent could have. A7 C(O)RIA seems right in retrospect. No reason to leave that line open. But this should outrun anything anyway? Maybe not. I think CORIA is right. Don't believe I saw it.
>Joshua_Castellano: BFU 4M FUB +16 371
>Joshua_Sokol: EILNOPR F4 PEON +31 471
#note I knew 99.9% that IMMINENTS* and ESPECIALS* were phony. I wanted to outrun all bingos on lane A he could possibly have. Quackle wants me to play F2 (T)OP. That does not make any sense. Scored as 30.
>Joshua_Castellano: ?ADEEHS 15D SHEArED +97 468
>Joshua_Castellano: ?ADEEHS -- -97 371
#note the moment of truth, does Josh win by 2?
>Joshua_Sokol: AILRT 10I TAIL.R +10 481
#note nope!
>Joshua_Sokol: (DEASHE?) +20 501
