#note This was a stupid mistake. I hadn't realized how close the game was. If I give Jackson 10 more points, this move makes sense, but I'm really not in any kind of rut at this point. I should just play 5H (K)ETO to set up my L. AEGL isn't the worst thing.
>Jackson_Smylie: ?AAAERS 15F AR.hAEAS +60 158
#note I couldn't pull the trigger on this, because I liked ARCHAEA. I knew it was probably just the plural of ARCHAEON, but I trusted Jackson's word knowledge too much here. I need to be more confident!
>Joshua_Sokol: EIJLORT 10A JOLTIER +73 174
#note no need to blow the board open here. J1 JOLTIER is 1 less but doesn't open up nearly as much

>Joshua_Sokol: GHINOOP K3 HOOPING +80 396
#note POOHING is better as it doesn't take the W
>Jackson_Smylie: ?INNRTU M8 TURNINg. +66 311
#note Jackson could have redeemed himself here from 4 yearrs ago with B4 TRUNNION

>Jackson_Smylie: IQ L12 QI +46 357
>Joshua_Sokol: DDISUVV L2 VIDS +29 458
#note VID would take an A-hook that he could fish for later, so VIDS is better. Taking an 100-point lead never hurt anyone, especially since an S is really not too useful here.
>Jackson_Smylie: RRW 3J W..RR +22 379
>Joshua_Sokol: DDNTUUV 12A DUNT. +16 474
#note Although I was worried about something like this. Jackson makes a dangerous opening I can't really address without leaving myself with awful stuff, and I just have to hope he doesn't have something huge. I considered exchanging, but then that would leave 2 in the bag if Jackson got a bingo down. Perhaps I should have anyway, since the stuff I would be leaving for him to draw should slow him down enough in the endgame...
>Jackson_Smylie: AF 14J FA +28 407
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEHIUV N3 .EV +6 480
#note I calculated that a bingo making WHIRRY or even WHIRRS would score enough to outrun HIVED D2, but that I should be able to win if Jackson got something like OUTSPEND or UNPOSTED at C1 after this. The issue is if he successfully fishes for sometihng at C1 while opening up a new lane on column O, in which case I would hope to be able to score enough to outrun his out bingo. I did some calculations and it seemed like this should do it.
In fact, the closest Jackson could come is if he fishes for UNLOOSE/UNLOOSED with 9M (U)P, in which case I have the Y and can play O1 HEY, winning 522-500. REV looks like it always wins when Jackson fishes. It also wins even if Jackson hits a bingo now.
>Jackson_Smylie: U 11M .U +2 409
>Joshua_Sokol: DEHIOUY 8M .HY +27 507
#note I was pretty sure Jackson was going to do what he did. Best block is N7 YEH, but anything that blocks LEPTONS does it for me. This is 6 points back
>Jackson_Smylie: ELNOPST O11 SPENT +33 442
#note best is J1 LO(W)N, setting up SPE(L)T and PEST O1
