>Joshua_Sokol: ABEEIOP 2I AB +23 165

>John_Ortman: FOOW L1 WOOF +40 126
>Joshua_Sokol: EEIOPSW K10 OW +25 190
#note man just look at this beautiful board. M1 EEW is just that. EEW. Not opening a lane here.
>John_Ortman: ANY 1L .ANY +30 156
>Joshua_Sokol: EEEIPSZ H13 SEZ +39 229
#note oh, the board is open and I can't block everything? I think you have the wrong number, sir, I was never trying to block everything. You have a direct quote from me that contradicts what I just said? You're gonna have to hold on, I have to go get my semantics from the cupboard over there.
>John_Ortman: AARV N1 .AVAR +16 172
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEIIOP 15D IODI.E +17 246
#note don't think I missed EIDE. I will never miss EIDE ever again.
>John_Ortman: DEEGINN O4 NEEDING +85 257
#note what's this??
>Joshua_Sokol: ?BCENOP 14C COPE +21 267
#note how is he ahead? Defense is the key to success and now I find myself making an extremely aggressive play when I know he has a blank or an S!

>John_Ortman: EEILORS M5 OLE +7 264
>Joshua_Sokol: ADGIMOR A7 DIRAM +32 341
#note trying to prevent two bingos in a row at this point, so leaving 7 in the bag, also important to be at ease in the endgame and have tempo, since I don't want there to be one in the bag if he plays a bingo now.
>John_Ortman: AEEIRRS B1 RERAISE +71 335
>Joshua_Sokol: ?GLOPTU 1A G.OUP +27 368
#note unfortunately I have nowhere for my bingos now. A1 aTOP was missed, that's my best play. I also almost blew this game, because I had tracked correctly, but mistook the remaining U for a V. He has a bingo on his rack and I needed to make sure I wasn't giving him a spot for it. -5
