>Joshua_Sokol: JNNNOPT -JNNP +0 0
#note this was automatic for me, but then I realized that it shouldn't have been. NT or NOPT are similar, either possibly better here.
>Daniel_Blake: EFFORTT H6 OFF +18 18
#note Dan wondered about this turn, I would have played TOFF or EFFORT, TOFF maybe only because of my exchange. Gotta play the rack-balancing game.
>Joshua_Sokol: ADENOTY 9G DAY +23 23
#note I don't like that I made this play. If I'm going to fish I'd better leave myself good lanes. G6 YO is better in that respect.
>Daniel_Blake: AEGRSTT J3 TARGETS +70 88
>Joshua_Sokol: ENOOOTY 3J .OYO +14 37
#note Quackle likes G4 TOYO too. That's not good against a human who is unlikely to put prime bingo tiles out in the open at H1 or H2.
>Daniel_Blake: ABLW 2K BAWL +32 120
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EINOPT 4E PINOT.gE +86 123
>Daniel_Blake: IJN 5D JIN +30 150
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEEIPS 8J .EPEES +33 156
#note "Josh misses EIDE part 76".
This seemed pretty automatic to keep the game going, as Dan's rack is probably worse than average at this point, but limiting his options a lot with PEE(D) or EI(D)E on column G makes sense too. This worked out in my favor this time.
>Daniel_Blake: GMUU D5 .UGUM +16 166
#note As you will see, Dan will not draw an E for the rest of the game.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEHIILO C9 HAOLE +35 191
#note And while I'm somehow missing 5s like HELIO and keeping duplicate I's instead of AI again, Daniel does some magic "look how I can draw crap for the rest of the game" trick.
>Daniel_Blake: INW H1 WIN. +21 187
>Joshua_Sokol: EGIILNT 12A GI.L +14 205
#note (S)TEALING was my missed bingo here, but I didn't have the right letters for it because I played HAOLE instead of HELIO. Was irrationally scared about drawing another I out of the pool, since I didn't track the I's on my rack. Maybe Kenji is right. This is an awful play.
>Daniel_Blake: IRT A12 .RIT +15 202
>Joshua_Sokol: CEINOTV M6 EV.CTION +90 295
>Daniel_Blake: SU - +0 202
#note challenged
>Joshua_Sokol: EHIIKNU L11 KHI +38 333
#note given KHI and HUNK L12 had similar equity, I did not want to throw a K out there for an improbable way back in the game for Dan.
>Daniel_Blake: SU O1 US +16 218
>Joshua_Sokol: EEEEINU G7 EI.E +17 350
#note oh look, Josh saw EIDE! The earth must be flat.
>Daniel_Blake: Q 2G Q. +11 229
#note notice Dan just played off two tiles, including a U.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CEEMNU 14F ECUMENs +74 424
#note notice I persist in making the mstake of believing ECUMEN* is a word because of ECUMENIC-S and ECUMENE and ACUMENS.
>Daniel_Blake: O 9B O.. +8 237
>Joshua_Sokol: AAADDLX N4 LAX +51 475
#note he's clearly hoping for something specific but I don't think he's super close, so not going to sacrifice to block the S.
>Daniel_Blake: AR G12 AR. +6 243
>Joshua_Sokol: AADDEVZ B6 DAD. +10 485
#note I really liked Dan's last play, so I came up with something cute myself. Shouldn't really give him somewhre to play DIATRON though
>Daniel_Blake: ORT 15F ROT +23 266
>Joshua_Sokol: AADERVZ A7 ZA +53 538
>Daniel_Blake: BINRS F10 BIN +23 289
>Joshua_Sokol: ADERV C1 RAVED +30 568
>Joshua_Sokol: (RS) +4 572
