>Chris_Grubb: HNOOP 8D PHONO +26 26
>Noah: DELRRUV F7 L.UVRED +19 19
#note I played this pretty quick. LOUVRE and HURL are also good plays. But I think I'm glad that I played this quickly -- something else might be slightly better, but it's not worth thinking about once you realize nothing else is far better.
>Chris_Grubb: AEENSST 11D EA.NESTS +82 108
>Noah: BCGINNR H10 B.NIGN +30 49
#note Thought about CRINGE, but CR looked a lot better than BN.
>Chris_Grubb: DFLO 12A FOLD +30 138
>Noah: CRRRRUW -RRRUW +0 49
>Chris_Grubb: IQ 9C QI +25 163
>Noah: CEHJRRT B10 CH.RE +32 81
#note TROCHE is also available here. It might be optimal, but seems like there's a decent chance Chris will miss CHOREA, which is the kind of thing I need in this game.
>Chris_Grubb: ABS A12 .ABS +33 196
>Noah: DEJORTT 7H JOT +20 101
#note Strange rack. I thought about JETTO(N), but didn't like it that much. He can block decent afterward by playing through the E. This makes it hard to access the top left, but I think JETTON ends up doing the same thing after most of his responses. Thinking about it now, I wonder if JO could be right. But it doesn't look like it -- it bingos too much less next turn.
>Chris_Grubb: AGIL K4 GLIA +21 217
>Noah: DEORRTT 4H TOD.ER +18 119
#note Couldn't remember if this was Collins or new. It's Collins. Again, probably not a bad risk to take here. Chris held and released.
>Chris_Grubb: EINRSUZ 3G ZIN +28 245
#note Actual rack -- Chris mentioned missing SIZER. But this doesn't seem bad.
>Noah: ACEORTW J2 WE. +28 147
#note It was hard to stomach this, but what else do you do? WAIT maybe? WOT seemed to have similar problems (he just overlaps), plus it doesn't open for any tile I actually have. I guess just taking this risk is OK.
>Chris_Grubb: AEEIRSU 15G U.EASIER +59 304
>Noah: ACEOORT 1H COOTER +35 182
#note Feels kinda bad blocking the lane, but I don't know what else to do. And it's probably better to start going for spread, which matters, at this point.
>Chris_Grubb: AEINV N10 VAINE. +34 338
>Noah: AKMTWXY 3L WAXY +43 225
>Chris_Grubb: GIMO O1 GO.IM +36 374
>Noah: ?FKMTTU 14J MUT +25 250
>Chris_Grubb: AILPR F2 PAIR +26 400
#note Chris mentioned thinking PAIL might be better here, to go for ATRAZINE. I don't know what his other tiles were.
>Noah: ?EFKTUY 8K lEFTY +38 288
#note I looked a lot, but missed the right 8K play: sUETY, which is 20 better than this against optimal play.
>Chris_Grubb: ?AADEIL 10D LA.A.o +23 423
#note (S)AID 15A is best.
>Noah: KU I9 K.. +11 299
>Chris_Grubb: DEI C12 .ED +20 443
#note N5 EDIT is best.
>Noah: U 14A ...U +7 306
>Noah: (I) +2 308
