#note Sha. DOWED.
SHADOWED
I actually have no explanation here. I immediately looked for extensions and I feel like SHA(DOWED) was the first one I came up with. Did I have another one of my infamous lapses here? Did I miss SHADOWED as an extension? I think it's probably the latter. I remember for sure seeing WIN(DOWED) and MEA(DOWED)*

#note Spaced on THEWY. FIRRY plays at 10C
Not my finest game thus far!!
>Larry_Sherman: IIIII -IIIII +0 157
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EEFLMS 11B FEMaLES +80 202
#note So a few turns ago I had TITLESS* on my rack, now FEMALES.
Immature theme going on, hooray
>Larry_Sherman: NU 12C NU +14 171
>Joshua_Sokol: BHLMOTU 13D THUMB +20 222
#note I felt thoroughly in command at this point. He's fishing, so this play is merited as it plays the most defense I can muster up while punishing any bingo he is left to have with big counterplay. If he plays from 14H for example, he is giving me first dibs at a potentially huge play on the triple
>Larry_Sherman: EEP 1L .EEP +18 189
>Joshua_Sokol: BEIILOR 8J REBOIL +45 267
#note alright, time to begin outrunning sequence. I'm far enough ahead that I should be able to withstand a bingo.
>Larry_Sherman: ?AEINRZ N6 tR.AZINE +86 275
#note unless it scores 86 points and sets up a huge hook I do not detain!!
>Joshua_Sokol: EEGIINR H13 .IG +18 285
#note Great gambit on Larry's part. I was very close to attempting to partially block the hook with M11 GENII, but it didn't seem like I was winning much after that even if I blocked something. Too much counterplay and not enough options for me next turn. So I decided to give myself something to work with, setting up the G to play to. I almost played B10 I(F), but it didn't seem like it worked out if I didn't immediately bingo, whereas BIG had some long-term potential.
>Larry_Sherman: CELSU 14J CLUES +60 335
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEINOR 9C OE +6 291
#note gotta open a new lane now, the G is at major risk of getting blocked now that Larry has taken a commanding lead.
>Larry_Sherman: IJOT 12K JOI.T +26 361
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEINPR I4 ...E +8 299
#note fishing off the A hits with NNT if he doesn't block the G, and DORT down column B. I didn't see all of these options under time pressure. Fishing the E hits with NNT down column B, and TTVY to the G. Since he's far more likely to block the G, (R)A(J) K10 is most definitely the superior play.
>Larry_Sherman: NOT 14B NOT +12 373
>Joshua_Sokol: AEGINPR M8 .P +14 313
#note Now I fish for GARDENI(A) at 1A and hope he misses the spot and blocks the R(OE) hook instead.
>Larry_Sherman: DGINORV B5 VIGOR +14 387
#note I can see him playing this even if I hit my fish for the D.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEGINRY A6 GAY +42 355
>Larry_Sherman: DN N1 .ND +8 395
#note the end
I played the beginning of this game absolutely horribly.
