>Joshua_Sokol: DILNORV H7 VIRL +14 14
>Seth_Lipkin: AQST 11E QATS +34 34
>Joshua_Sokol: AADENOR 10F DA. +17 31
#note This scores enough, limits his counterplay options, and keeps alright given the state of the board. I could also fish here, which seems like a good line of play. O(V)A or NO(V)A are good board-forkers and retain well indeed. That being said, I prefer to take the less variant route here with DA(L). The three-vowel 5-point leave is not as bad as it normally would be, since the only way to score is to underlap QATS.
>Seth_Lipkin: KW F10 ..WK +12 46
#note Had to guess he had an S here, and no I.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AELNOR 7G O.ERLAiN +62 93
#note I really almost played IRONABLE* here. What an embarrassment that would have been.
>Seth_Lipkin: VX G6 V.X +22 68
#note Seth must have an S bingo leave here, surely. He would not close the board so much otherwise. But there really can't be much he has here otherwise!
>Joshua_Sokol: AFINOTT 8M FAT +24 117
>Seth_Lipkin: EHILRS K5 HI.LERS +40 108
>Joshua_Sokol: AEINORT O8 .ENTORIA +77 194
#note Here is where the game starts getting ridiculous. My draw of L? was ridiculous enough earlier.
>Seth_Lipkin: EIINP 13C PIN.IE +26 134
>Joshua_Sokol: CEEGMSY 4K CYME +35 229
#note Really liked this play, for the wrong reasons. More on that later. Perhaps J6 G(R)EY makes more sense if I have perfect word knowledge...
>Seth_Lipkin: AGGO 12A AGOG +24 158
>Joshua_Sokol: AEGJRST A8 JAGR. +39 268
#note My options were just spectacularly good here. I chose this because I'm really only losing to a 3x3 after O1 JAGS, and after this, he still has to hit me twice. And there really aren't many spots to hit me.
>Seth_Lipkin: NNOU J9 NOUN +14 172
#note Ouch
>Joshua_Sokol: BEHMNST N12 BETH +33 301
#note MENSH was good! Was not sure. Does that make me a bad Jew? 3L BETH is possibly better for 2 more, but more on that later.
>Seth_Lipkin: DOU 3M UDO +19 191
>Joshua_Sokol: ADIIMNS 2G AMIDINS +69 370
#note S(CHILLERS) was good this whole time! I had absolutely no idea that that word existed, and therefore I deserve to have lost. This is significantly worse than playing at 3E. I also was unsure of DIAMINS. Knew DIAMINE/AMIDINE, but not DIAMIN/AMIDIN well enough. This could have cost me the game.
>Seth_Lipkin: EELP 1G PELE +39 230
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEIRTW 3E CAW +24 394
#note I was unsure what play was best for spread here. Apparently I should not block, but I'm not seeing it. Seth has been managing his rack this whole time.
>Seth_Lipkin: EIOOT E3 .OOTIE +16 246
>Joshua_Sokol: BEIORTU 12L BU.. +16 410
#note O1 BI(O) does better to block ZO(O)S-type plays most likely
>Seth_Lipkin: ?SZ O1 Zo.S +52 298
>Joshua_Sokol: EEFIORT 14H FOE +13 423
#note B7 TORI. -2, too cute
>Seth_Lipkin: DEUY 15J DEY +14 312
