#note She blocked CENTRAL!

>Joshua_Sokol: ENNORTW 8L TOWN +36 77
>Anita_Rackham: AILMSS 13L SLIM +24 80
#note first 13I MISSAL, then this.
>Joshua_Sokol: EINPPRR O10 PRI.ER +33 110
#note MISSAL blocked my bingo. SLIM did not. Made no difference to me!!
>Anita_Rackham: IIIII -IIIII +0 80
>Joshua_Sokol: ACDLNPX 11G CALX +32 142
#note Normally D3 CLAX(O)N would be better, but this is merited because she has another S and is grooming her rack with an exchange.
>Anita_Rackham: EW M7 W.E +17 97
>Joshua_Sokol: DENNPSU H8 ..P.NNED +45 187
#note I didn't like anything here until I saw this and pounced. This is not a word.
>Anita_Rackham: EZ 14F ZE. +32 129
>Joshua_Sokol: EESSTTU D7 .UTSET +14 201
#note playing very defensive and paranoid now. I should play N6 TE(W)S instead of this. Or I13 USE.
>Anita_Rackham: AINU C10 UNAI +14 143
>Joshua_Sokol: EHIIRRS N12 H.RE +25 226
>Anita_Rackham: AEOT 15C TOEA +16 159
>Joshua_Sokol: IIIJRSV O6 VI. +6 232
#note just attempting to secure the win. She can still have some huge overlap on column B or row 6. I also missed 15J JIVI(ER). Not on my A-game.
>Anita_Rackham: BO B10 BO +24 183
>Joshua_Sokol: IIIJRSU -IIJRU +0 232
#note just keep the S
>Anita_Rackham: ENSTY A11 TYNES +40 223
#note yup, that could happen.
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEGIRS E11 REG +21 253
#note no E left, so she can't touch this spot. No need to play here now, but then against there isn't anything else to do really so this is fine.
>Anita_Rackham: IO F5 OI. +5 228
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AADIKS 5F .AK +7 260
#note my streak of paranoid defense continues. I tried to find the move that gave back the least bingos and didn't run the risk of getting outscored. I didn't like KADIS 4B as much because it allowed for something at 5E, but actually that is the move that allows the fewest bingos to hit. In any case her chances are very low, not quite as low as the sim thinks given her last play, but probably somewhere near the 5% marker. Still, I can get outscored apparently, so it's best to skip the paranoia. I did get 5$ for this play though! Lowest scoring KO word for the inaugural Kingston Open!
>Anita_Rackham: ?ABDIJY 4A JAYBIrD +110 338
#note Anyways, folks, this should be a learning experience for all of you. Just because something is unlikely doesn't mean you don't have it coming for you. I played this game horribly, and this was definitely a deserved punishment. Beautiful find.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADIQRS 6E Q. +22 282
#note Going for the O, but even that loses to RIO(J)A. It's impossible to prevent me from bingo-ing out though, which indeed I realized! I can also win if she screws up without drawing into a bingo. A4 (J)IRDS wins with a D if she doesn't block QAD(I)s/s(OAK) and QAD(I)S/S(OAK) wins if I draw a U and she somehow misses her own (Q)AID/ (Q)ADI comeback.
>Anita_Rackham: AADOORU 5A ODA +21 359
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADIIRS 15K AID.. +7 289
#note She almost gave me a 3x3! I should just play at H1 now to avoid her blocking me next turn, but I wanted to block DOURA. She probably didn't even see it :/
>Anita_Rackham: AORU J13 OUR +12 371
