>Mark_Nyman: ?AEMNTU 8C AMENTUm +72 72
#note didn't know this word. New to TWL in 2014
>JD: AFGNRRY 7A FRY +22 22
#note quackle doesn't like this placement of FRY much. I give back a ton of extra points without gaining anything in particular in return. I was lucky that he couldn't do anything with the opening here.
>Mark_Nyman: EEFPR B2 PREFE. +26 98
>JD: ?AGNRSX A7 .AX +39 61
>Mark_Nyman: BDEGHOU 7E BOUGHED +89 187
>Mark_Nyman: EGIV (challenge) +5 192
#note I challenged again.
>JD: ?GINRSY 4A S.IGNoRY +82 143
#note couldn't talk myself into playing YARDINGS# which is Collins-only.
>Mark_Nyman: EGIV K3 GIVE. +20 212
>Mark_Nyman: DIT (challenge) +5 217
#note proceeding nicely with my plan of challenging as many of his plays as humanly possible
>JD: ADIIOSW L1 WAID +33 176
>Mark_Nyman: DIT H1 TID. +24 241
>JD: AINOSSU M4 SUASION +63 239
#note I wanted to set up the S hook on my bingo because I knew I'd still be down about 40 after his next play, so I need another bingo to actually get ahead. hence no SANIOUS.
>Mark_Nyman: AAEORST 11I AEROSAT +72 313
>JD: EILMOTU 10J MUO. +26 265
#note he's just blocked MOULINET unfortunately. there are lots of different reasonable plays, I like MUON over MOUSE because it makes me a lot more likely to hit a triple-triple that can really give me a good chance of winning.
>Mark_Nyman: CNOO O8 CON.O +24 337
>JD: EEILTTW 9C WITE +36 301
#note I really liked WITE instead of WET on this play because it sets up ZONE/ZO - being down as I am, I need the volatility.
>Mark_Nyman: EHN 12J HEN +29 366
>JD: BEEJLNT 1J BE.ENT +33 334
#note didn't want to play JEON which blocks ZONE and the last bingo lane. BEWENT digs into the bag in search of the Z. Playing the J is going to be a big problem, which is the main downside of this move. the two reasonable solutions I see are BEJANT at 6J and AJEE at N11. BEJANT keeps a generally better leave, whereas AJEE makes a ZO draw lass likely, but also opens a valuable new bingo lane that will be difficult to block. on review, I like AJEE - when else will I be able to score so many points to create a new bingo lane?
>Mark_Nyman: OZ 6F ZO +67 433
>JD: EEIJLLT D8 ..LLE +14 348
#note sadly I was already out of time and missed better options. AJEE at N11 is still totally reasonable, setting up a vital bingo lane after I blocked my own with BEWENT,
>Mark_Nyman: IQ 8L Q. +21 454
>JD: EIJORTV A1 JO +31 379
#note it's not looking good no matter what I do, but EORTV supposedly bingos much more often than EIRTV in this position.
>Mark_Nyman: CL 12C C.L +5 459
>JD: AEIRRTV 10B VE.AR +50 429
>JD: AEIRRTV -- -50 379
#note um, this isn't a word.
>Mark_Nyman: AD 10D .AD +33 492
>JD: AEIRRTV 13D TAIVER +24 403
#note terrible play! sets up big score for him. VAIRE at the top looks best.
>Mark_Nyman: AIIKLP H12 K.PI +45 537
>JD: R 6J R. +8 411
>JD: (AIL) +6 417
#note not a great game following a big win against adam logan. Played perfectly fine until the end when I hemorrhaged spread for no region.
