>Jackson_Smylie: ?ADMSTU H6 STADiUM +74 74
#note didn't know MUDcATS, which looks best.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?DFIQRT 6F QI. +32 32
>Jackson_Smylie: AADGHLS G8 HAG +19 93
#note talked myself out of GALAHS! HAG I11 is an interesting play!
>Joshua_Sokol: ?BCDFRT 8F C..RD +11 43
#note Josh: started to get really worried about the board here. Jackson seemed to be on an intent path to close everything down. I think this is merited for that reason. I also thought he might have an S. I think I should actually just exchange.
>Jackson_Smylie: ADGILLS K8 SIGLA +24 117
#note I liked playing down with CHARDS cause the top right gets closed off, but the problem is that Josh gets to play words overlapping IGLA that give a great hard to block S lane, like if he played TOOM or TOIL or something. This is always the problem I encounter with making a right angle like this. for that reason I could just play GILDS, cause a parallel making a lane starting with S is not as dangerous. Also, the D in CHARDS is very much open after SIGLA. This is sort of a sloppy block, I think I prefer GILDS. a word ending with S making STADIUMS will nicely close the bottom right.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?BFIPTT L12 BITT +22 65
>Jackson_Smylie: DEEIILR E8 ELIDE +25 142
#note I guess edile is a tad better. considered DIE as well to block the T's, but making TE is not ideal cause he can start fishing for triple triples or he can still fork the board.
Josh: don't think EDILE is better because I can just play AEDILE and he has to find a way to block the top right again.

>Joshua_Sokol: ?AANVWY F12 WAV. +27 126
>Jackson_Smylie: AEFIORR M12 OF +25 191
#note RER(O)OF would have been great!
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AENUYY 15L .YNE +21 147
#note Can play C13 AY later. This seems better now.
>Jackson_Smylie: AEIRRRU O11 URAR. +6 197
#note saw (T)AU at the bottom, but EIRRR can run into trouble, well it is trouble just to begin with. I liked URARE better, even though I still leave the J1 lane. I think the board is closed enough to justify it, but I can't be sure.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ABRTUY 14H BAY +22 169
#note 14I YUR(T)A!
>Jackson_Smylie: EIIINOR I7 I.ON +17 214
#note not sure here - I should have given more thought to exchanging, to either try and hit a bingo for myself next turn, bingo back if he bingoes next turn, or just maintain better balance. I'm not up by enough that I can super seriously outrun right now, so maybe I should just exchange.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EEORTU J1 rEROUTE. +65 234
#note Seemed like the R was a good tile to give him considering his range, but normally dETOURED is better. In this case it very well may be as well.
>Jackson_Smylie: EIINORZ 1I I.ONIZE +48 262
#note But he would have playe IONIZE(D). He was unsure of IONIZE(r), which is better.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEJKSU 5I J.KU +30 264
#note Was interesting between (Z)EK and this. I figured IRONIZE was likely to keep an A or an X, at least more than usual, since IONIZER was better otherwise and I thought Jackson would see that. In any case, I played this because it still seemed he was unlikely to hold an A or an X. I was probably wrong.
>Jackson_Smylie: LNNNRSW -GNNNR +0 262
#note kept NS instead of Rs cause I thought I might hit the 2 lane a bit more often with NS cause of parallels, and also NS can hit the R in rEROUTED a bit more cause of not duplicating, and the NU lane with URARE it might occasionally hit. Q says I am wrong and that keeping RS bingoes 1.5% more.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEMSTX 2M TAX +53 317
#note now things get stupid
>Jackson_Smylie: ACHNOOS 14B HO. +12 274
#note my plan is to make him block for small and then hit a bingo through the R. Quackle needs the heat maps of where the opponents/you play on the board and how often! It would be nice to know how often I hit the R. Champ prefers OHO to HOO in this spot, and favours HO 13I overall.

>Joshua_Sokol: AEGLNNW 4B .E +2 412
