>Dave_Wiegand: AKMSTUU -- -86 0
>Evans_Clinchy: CEIIRST 8C RICIEST +70 70
#note Didn't want to give him a spot for MAKUTUS, so my options here are fairly limited. No ERISTIC, and no RICIEST on the right side where he can fit MAKUTUS/UR/SI.
>Dave_Wiegand: AKMSTUU E5 AMU.K +26 26
>Evans_Clinchy: DFILOOY F2 DOILY +38 108
#note Ugh, chickened out on FOODY. Of course that's good.
>Dave_Wiegand: AALNSTU H1 SULTANA. +77 103
>Evans_Clinchy: ACFLOOT C3 FACTO. +24 132
#note I liked this for keeping the board under control a little bit - it's tough for him to bingo after this play. Sim prefers the straightforward points and leave with FLOTA D1, which is reasonable.
>Dave_Wiegand: HIR 7G H.IR +24 127
>Evans_Clinchy: AELMNOO D1 MOAN +27 159
#note EMO D3 is a nice little fit. This is an okay option too.

#note Ugh. This is the turn where it all came apart. I hated this play even as I was making it - forking open multiple areas for Dave to bingo is exactly the wrong thing to do with a 32-point lead. But I was starting to run low on time and I just couldn't find anything else. I overlooked two crucial things. One, LOBULI is a word and it plays in line 3, blocking things up nicely. And two, OLID 11J is solid defensively as well because it doesn't take an S. Either of these plays is far better than this!
>Dave_Wiegand: EENNUV A10 UNEVEN +33 231
#note Now all of a sudden, the board is fairly open, and my lead is small, and I gotta waste a turn dinking away the Q. Trouble.
>Evans_Clinchy: ?ADELQR 12K Q. +11 261
>Dave_Wiegand: ANOSSTZ M3 STANZOS +109 340
#note OH COME ON JUST PLAY A NORMAL BINGO
>Evans_Clinchy: ?ADELRV 1H .LAVEReD +86 347
>Dave_Wiegand: AEFGL H10 .EFLAG +42 382
>Evans_Clinchy: BEGIRWW 5L W.W +9 356
#note Shrug. Gotta try something.
>Dave_Wiegand: ?EINORY O4 YEaRN +43 425
#note Dave has bingos available here but wisely passes them up because they could lose if I have BEGORED/WAWE for 102 and out. This is 100 percent to win.
