>Paul_Mishkin: ?AEEINT 8G TaENIAE +64 64
>Joshua_Sokol: AABGIRW 7I WAG +25 25
#note Today in: The G isn't even worth 3 points less than the B.
>Paul_Mishkin: OOTT 6G TOOT +17 81
>Joshua_Sokol: AAABHIR 9K BAH +29 54
>Paul_Mishkin: EORTV 9C TROVE +13 94
#note weird choice, maybe he missed GIBE
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEIRSW 8A AWA +20 74
#note continuing my awful bingo-missing streak, I whiff on C5 AWAI(T)ERS to bring me back into the game.
>Paul_Mishkin: CENORRS E6 CRO.NERS +70 164
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EEIRSX 12E .EmIXERS +80 154
#note I got a lot of help this game from Paul challenging my words. EXpI(R)ERS is two more but gives more back.
>Paul_Mishkin: FOU - +0 164
>Joshua_Sokol: DGILNUV H11 V.GIL +27 181
#note L(I)VID keeps a slightly more bingo-prone leave but it also keeps the G, so no.
>Paul_Mishkin: FHMOORU 11J FOU +23 187
>Joshua_Sokol: DIILNSU A2 INDUSI.L +61 242
#note lol I would have had LINGUIS(A) and definitely would have missed it. Held and released.
>Paul_Mishkin: AJPU 13A PUJA. +28 215
>Joshua_Sokol: EFGIINS 14H .GNIFIES +78 320
#note I am a sack full of luckiness. I guess it's probably slightly more likely that I lose due to a 3x3 than due to multiple bingos on Paul's end, but I really didn't see another way of ensuring that the (BAH)T hook could be blocked. I liked this route better. In one turn I will be able to know whether or not I am almost definitely winning this game.
>Paul_Mishkin: DU - +0 215
#note challenged again!
>Joshua_Sokol: BEIKMOT O12 BO.K +39 359
#note Talked myself out of EMBOSK :(

MO(S)K was better than BO(S)K upon reviewal, because then I can fish for ABELMOSK for the rest of the game.

BEMI(S)T is also better.
>Paul_Mishkin: DU A13 .UD +18 233
>Joshua_Sokol: EEIMNOT B2 NEEM +25 384
#note B10 MIN(U)TE, although this did a good job blocking just about everything
>Paul_Mishkin: NZ M13 Z.N +24 257
>Joshua_Sokol: ACIOOTY 7C CO.IA +24 408
#note 5F OATY to prevent setups on row 5 and block 6s down to the O, but this works fine to block the former. Paul can't really win, let's just speed things up and score.
>Paul_Mishkin: ALY 4A ..LAY +18 275
>Joshua_Sokol: ILOPQTY D3 Q.T +12 420
#note speeding things up almost backfired badly, but luckily his board-opening play (which made a lot of sense), gave me a spot to drop it. Champ prefers 14A (U)PO, stupidly.
>Paul_Mishkin: DH B12 D.H +24 299
>Joshua_Sokol: EILOPRY 15F OL.IE +10 430
#note glad to have solved one endgame correctly this tournament.
>Paul_Mishkin: ADEEMRT H1 TERED. +24 323
#note -4 to 7M MED or MAD to block my highest-scoring out.
>Joshua_Sokol: PRY 7M PRY +22 452
>Joshua_Sokol: (AM) +8 460
#note Missing AWAITERS was really bad. Otherwise I knew what I did wrong with BOSK. Almost a notably good performance...
