>Yoli_Ushry: EFZ L12 FEZ +42 54
>Jim_Burlant: AACGINT 14L .AG +26 113
#note Barely 2 turns into my second game and I'm already missing a bingo I have studied and know: CONTAGIA scores 63 at H7. This is best of the rest, but there's no excuse for missing words I've studied.
>Yoli_Ushry: BEENORR 9A REBORNE +68 122
#note I was 99% sure this was phony, as the only legitimate bingo in that rack is ENROBER. But you'll see why I let it go momentarily:
>Jim_Burlant: AACEINT A8 C.ANIATE +149 262
#note IfI had challenged off REBORNE*, I would have still had CARINATE/CRANIATE down the I column. But I didn't like the board position on those bingoes and they only scored low to mid 60's. This scores 149, and I can have my cake and eat it too, with a bonus:
>Yoli_Ushry: DDELPSW - +0 122
#note Lost challenge.
>Jim_Burlant: DEFLOOV E2 FOLDOVE. +80 342
>Jim_Burlant: DEFLOOV -- -80 262
#note Emboldened by her lost challenge, I hemmed and hawed, not remembering whether FOLDOVER* or OVERFOLD* was good. Turns out both are phony; it's FLOPOVER that's the legitimate bingo. Best play here is FLOORED E5. I get it on the next turn. FLOORED wins 98%; losing a turn needlessly coughs up 4% winning chances. At least I picked the right opponent to do this against:
>Yoli_Ushry: ADINNPS N7 SPANDIN. +64 186
>Yoli_Ushry: ADINNPS -- -64 122
#note Good thing for me she missed DIPNOANS D5.
>Jim_Burlant: DEFLOOV E5 FLOO.ED +44 306
#note Still best. Just shy of 99% to win.
>Yoli_Ushry: ADINNPS 15M DIP +24 146
>Jim_Burlant: AEVVWXY C9 .EVVY +32 338
#note Yes, I saw the obvious X bombs. But I thought they had an excellent chance of still being alive next turn. I didn't want to be saddled with all this garbage. Predictably the duck wants me to play AXE 10A to presumably follow it up with BEVVY. It's just equity at this point since everything wins in excess of 99%.
>Yoli_Ushry: ANNS B13 NAN +18 164
>Jim_Burlant: ADELMWX B9 .X +51 389
#note Ok, are you happy, Quackle?
>Yoli_Ushry: AEMSSSU I2 ASSUME.S +63 227
>Jim_Burlant: ADELMPW 3I .WAMP +24 413
#note As good as anything else.
>Yoli_Ushry: J 8D J. +34 261
>Jim_Burlant: DEKLLOT 2F KOL. +18 431
#note Or OUTLED 5H.
>Yoli_Ushry: EIT 4K TIE +20 281
>Jim_Burlant: ADEHILT 1G HA +26 457
#note Q wants me to turn tiles, presumably to end this ASAP and not drag it out. ELHI 5K wins 99.99%, this wins 99.98. Whatever.
>Yoli_Ushry: AINO 3C NAOI +14 295
>Jim_Burlant: DEGIILT 4A GIED +24 481
#note Finally! I've crossed the finish line. Officially at 100% winning chances.
