>Chris_Ten_Den: MOZ 8G MOZ +28 28

#note Don't know what compelled me to choose this over VARA, which looks obviously best in hindsight. Still waking up, I guess.

>Evans_Clinchy: AAEFSVX 10H AX +33 63
#note Eh, not great. Was trying to get cute and set up an S-hooking lane with the funky FAVES leave. Sim says just to keep it simple and take the 46 points for FAXES 10E.

>Evans_Clinchy: CEEGIST M13 CEE +26 192
#note EGEST for 34 sims best. This makes sense because I have the first S on a board that's only somewhat S-friendly. Makes sense to spend it for some points rather than hoard. CEE looks about 3-4 points worse.

#note At this deficit, I don't mind extending the game longer and plinking away one tile at a time. Spending an S here scores 19 and also fishes for an outside shot at DIGRESS. No worries if I don't hit - just keep scoring a bit, I'll bingo eventually.

#note This looks like a horrible spot for me, but it's not so bad when you consider that QUA scores enough to reclaim the lead and that I'm drawing into a consonant-heavy bag. If I remember how to math, my chances are 126/132 of drawing at least 1 consonant, and 72/132 of drawing 2. Not bad! I can win this game by playing through the vowelly drek.
>Chris_Ten_Den: KNRTU 5C TRUNK +22 403
>Evans_Clinchy: EILOORU J11 .OURI +13 407
#note Found the only guaranteed win with seconds left on my clock! This guarantees me multiple outs including a decent-scoring one.
>Chris_Ten_Den: AIMNW A12 ..WN +21 424
>Evans_Clinchy: ELO 5I LO.E +13 420
#note Just barely pulled this one out. Tough, hard-fought game.
