>Mike_Baron: AEFK 8E FAKE +22 22
>Joshua_Sokol: ?IIILOS E8 .OIL +14 14
#note This game started off on a low note, by my missing (A)IOLI, which un-triples my I's and doesn't give much back to Mike.
>Mike_Baron: AEHIRTT F1 HATTERI. +65 87
#note also blocks his only bingo! Don't make mistakes
>Joshua_Sokol: ?GIIISS 1E G.IS +24 38
>Mike_Baron: JOTY 4D JO.TY +38 125
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CDIIIS I7 ID +17 55
#note Aha, SILICIDE. I knew SALICINE, not SILICIDE. 12C DISCI also looks good for the board.
>Mike_Baron: OW 5D OW. +31 156
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ACIIRS 12B AIRSICk +74 129
>Mike_Baron: MPUX 10D M.XUP +32 188
>Joshua_Sokol: EHILNOY B10 HY.LIN +40 169
#note In this context, I think this is the correct play. I have to take a risk somehow, and playing 6B HOY to set up a hook I don't have seems to succeed less often than this. I can catch him with crap and catch up, or I can draw well and catch up that way.
>Mike_Baron: ?DEENTV 15A i.VENTED +158 346
#note :/
>Joshua_Sokol: EFNOOTV 6B VOTE. +32 201
>Mike_Baron: AGMU A8 GAUM +33 379
#note trying to prevent big scores with VOTE(R) did not work out. Too bad there weren't any good plays that went elsewhere
>Joshua_Sokol: ABEFGNO 7C FA +29 230
>Mike_Baron: AADEPRR 6H PARADER +68 447
>Joshua_Sokol: BEGNNOR 5K BONER +29 259
#note Can you believe that I chickened out of B(A)RONNE against the Baron himself? That would have been an embarrassing phony. Thought it might just be a French word, since BARONESS is also a word that means the same thing.
>Mike_Baron: CLOO O1 COLO. +24 471
>Joshua_Sokol: EGLNOTZ 2K GONZ. +30 289
>Mike_Baron: AANN 4J NANA +24 495
>Joshua_Sokol: EEELQST 7N EL +5 294
#note Here is where my game crashes and burns. I've already lost, but I missed both Q spots on the board, and instead went for EQUITES in two spots. BEQUEST worked too, but I was unsure of that one, so decided an IU draw was what I was going for. I played EL here to distract Mike, to induce mistakes. He might think the Q is still out there, and that by drawing 2/4 he has a 50% shot of drawing it. Anyways, for spread, it's best I just play 14A QI. I only miss if I draw ERW
>Mike_Baron: I O7 .I +6 501
>Joshua_Sokol: BEEQSST 14G BEET +15 309
#note I mistracked the T here, and thought for sure he had kept DEIRTU. So went for the 50-50 shot of drawing an out with a U. Still missing QAID and QI
>Mike_Baron: DEEIRUU 13J UREIDE +16 517
#note I was confused because I thought he could Q stick me by blocking Q(AID), which I finally saw. But he noted QI when the game ended and I grabbed my face in shame.
>Joshua_Sokol: QSSW I5 Q...S +16 325
#note -3
>Mike_Baron: U E14 U. +2 519
