>Lloyd_Mills: CDEIMSU I6 MISCUED +77 103
>Joshua_Sokol: ADGOQTW 15A WAG.D +30 108
#note I had Q(A)T here, which is bettter than QAI(I)D due to leave mostly, but it's likely best to unload the WG combo this turn both to take away this spot and to leave me a likely bunch of options with the Q next turn. Either way I'm pretty unbalanced, but this is correct.
>Lloyd_Mills: ADEIL H11 AILED +27 130
>Joshua_Sokol: LMOQTTX 13C Q.T +24 132
#note I could leave myself with the Q again this turn and play M(U)X, but that spot is likely to remain open for me next turn, and the X is still more flexible than the Q
>Lloyd_Mills: BIINOU 6C NIOBIU. +17 147
>Joshua_Sokol: EIMORTX 10H M.X +37 169
#note seemed close between this and 5B MIXT, but actually (L)OX 10D preforms really well too, because the leave hits more bingos than EIORT does.
>Lloyd_Mills: AV 10D .AV +14 161
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIORST G12 AERO +17 186
#note Since I was now in a winning position I really wanted to play bingo defense. I apparently blocked a bingo here so I was right to do this.
>Lloyd_Mills: AGL 5E GAL +20 181
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIRSTU C6 .U +3 189
#note playing chicken here and hoping to bingo. Firstly if I draw DEFILTVW, I hit a bingo at J1. Also, I could play through what he plays or get a 9. Otherwise D2 AURE(I) or URAE(I) is the normal option here if I'm not fishing. I didn't want to open the board.
>Lloyd_Mills: EJNOS 4B JONES +33 214
#note but of course now this could happen. Good thing Lloyd, in a rare situation, was unsure of NIOBIUMS here, as the extra 11 points would have stung.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIPRST 3C PA +18 207
#note ugh PI in the same spot is much better. This mistake should have cost me the game. I

>Lloyd_Mills: EYZ I1 YEZ +33 265
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIRSTV J2 RAVES +41 267
#note Super super lucky to have drawn the case A after playing PA instead of PI. not in great shape now but still in the game.
>Lloyd_Mills: ?EINORT A8 INTERrO. +83 348
>Joshua_Sokol: IINOPRT 4J .IRION +20 287
#note Quackle doesn't like this, probably gives too much back
>Lloyd_Mills: KNO N3 N.OK +18 366
>Joshua_Sokol: ?HNOPST 1F O... +11 298
#note Completely missed H(WAN) here, luckily it didn't matter here. actually HWAN is very difficult to block so I may be able to win without a bingo if I play K3 P(I)S for 28 to threaten a bingo but also a 50-point play at 1A. This was a fish for an E, and I can't believe it worked.
