>Joshua_Sokol: AEINRVY H7 VINERY +32 32
#note Between VINERY and VEINY here... For some reason my style is to play the 6 over the 5 in positions similar to these. Yes, AR is definitely better than A, but positionally, VINERY does better long-term, and it's two more points.
>Michael_Fagen: OPTU 12D POUT. +20 20
>Joshua_Sokol: AAOSTUZ 10F ZO.A +33 65
#note Although this gave back a bunch more in terms of scoring, I preferred the leave and the score enough to play this over E9 OUZ(O). Was I wrong?
>Michael_Fagen: AEHRT J10 EARTH +34 54
>Joshua_Sokol: AACESTU 15G CUESTA +36 101
#note Was really close to playing CAUSATE* or (V)ACUATES* here, but Michael had already made a successful challenge against me, and Matthew Tunnicliffe was watching, so I decided to play it safe and not play a stupid unnecessary phony. Between this and ACUTES at 15E for 3 fewer, I prefer ACUTES as it doesn't give back a bingo lane.
>Michael_Fagen: ORW 11C ROW +26 80
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AEGINT M9 TAGINEs +74 175
#note Not sure why I had the nerve to chicken out of playing INGATES here instead. or IDEATING
>Michael_Fagen: EIJLMOX 8E BEH.NDER +65 145
>Michael_Fagen: EIJLMOX -- -65 80
>Joshua_Sokol: ADDIIPV N6 VAPID +32 207
#note did not realize what this gave back. played far too quickly. Ugh! B11 works, but I missed it. PAVID is probably around 30 points better in the same spot, and I almost played that instead. Thought I was just giving him HEN, which would keep the board closed.
>Michael_Fagen: BDEEHNR O7 BENDER +54 134
#note A rare moment when Michael makes a scoring mistake. This was misscored as 50.
>Joshua_Sokol: ABDEILR B7 RIDABLE +71 278
#note I knew he had an H too, and this gave so much back. I should have sacrificed 5 point to play 7E DRI(V)ABLE
>Michael_Fagen: EHMOY A6 HOMEY +61 195
>Joshua_Sokol: AIIOTUW A13 WIT +23 301
#note I think playing through is just slightly better than an exchange here.
>Michael_Fagen: EF C13 EF +22 217
>Joshua_Sokol: AFIIOSU 15A .OFU +17 318
#note Here as well, seems just slightly good enough.
>Michael_Fagen: AEILMSS C3 AIMLESS +86 303
>Joshua_Sokol: ADIISTX L12 XI +38 356
>Michael_Fagen: EKNO D2 KENO +26 329
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADISTU E5 DUI +20 376
#note only bingo available is a 9 through IN. Cool word to know!
>Michael_Fagen: IJO 2D .OJI +31 360
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AELNST - +0 376
#note loved this play. Stupid, but fun
>Michael_Fagen: Q G1 Q. +11 371
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AELNST 7M L.. +6 382
>Michael_Fagen: AGGLNOR B1 NOGG +20 391
#note QIGONG!!!!!!!!! It's his best play too...
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ACENST 3G SCANTEr +83 465
#note chickened out of SECANTS. Bleh.
>Joshua_Sokol: (ALR) +6 471
