>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: BEGILQY - +0 0
#note Exchange 3
>Avery: ELNORUX H8 LUREX +40 40
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?EIMOTT I7 TOTEMIc +80 80
#note I think he said he wasn't sure of TOTEMITE rather than not being able to see it, but this is some good defense
>Avery: EHNORSV J8 REV +34 74
#note I'll pile on. But I missed HORS(EM)EN.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AI 12G I..A +11 91
>Avery: BDHNOSU 13C HOUND +27 101
#note I figured he had another A, hence this over BOUND. It's probably not worth it though since parallels on row 12 are easier for him.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: CEGHIO K3 CHIGOE +28 119
>Avery: ABFGIIS L4 IF +25 126
#note Didn't like giving cheap points back on row 15 after GIF, but this is erroneous thinking since row 12 is easier to hit and I leave that open after this. Mucking up the top is unnecessary. Bad play here. CP lists this fourth behind plays at 12B which seem silly given the bad leave on this closed board.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AW 12C AW +25 144
>Avery: ABGGIRS 14B BIG +25 151
#note Sim says BIG and GIG are pretty even but I bingo slightly more after GIG - wasn't sure.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?ACERRT M3 REfRACT +81 225
>Avery: AGLNORS 8M .OG +18 169
#note Stupid move - I didn't track off one of the I's and thought there was a good chance I would get one for an -ING bingo. That's silly since if I don't get one, I'm not going anywhere with this mess. Should just do COL - also bingos a lot more on the bottom with WOGS. Big mistake.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: OY 15A OY +22 247
>Avery: ADLNORS O8 .OLDARNS +83 252
#note I bingoed to a leave of ALNRS. Stupid
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AFIW 15K WAIF. +12 259
>Avery: JLLNNQT -JLLNNQ +0 252
#note A good note by Sid - just exchange 7 to give myself better shots at an S since 15D is very strong and hard to block.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: IKP B10 KIP +27 286
>Avery: AABEERT N12 BEE. +28 280
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: JOT 14J JOT +33 319
>Avery: AADEERT 13K DET.. +22 302
#note Dunno. Want to score and go for an S - Quackle is useless and tells me I should fish.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ILTY 10B .ILTY +20 339
#note aggressiveness scares me when I don't have a good rack
>Avery: AAEEEQR E6 AERA.E +12 314
#note dunno. gonna try for a U and an S for something at the bottom
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ANZ 6E .ZAN +33 372
>Avery: AEINOQV 8A ENVI.O +30 344
#note Can't see a reasonable path to victory here - the board is still not bingo friendly and I still don't have an S, so I should try to go for one. He isn't necessarily guaranteed a 5-letter play at the bottom, and as it turns out, he only had one (but also all the S's). At least this opens another area and goes for something good, even if I'm emptying the bag. CP puts this at a grim 8.79%
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: DEMNSSS 15D SNEDS +30 402
>Avery: ALNPQUU A4 QUAL. +24 368
#note even with PULQUE but wasn't 100% sure. would have done it if I needed to though
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: MS 9G M...S +23 425
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: (NPU) +10 435
