>Jackson_Smylie: ACIJMOT H7 JAM +24 24
#note thought about COTIJA* here to slip past my favourite vegetarian
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DEEIOUU -AABEU +0 0
#note should've played (M)EOU, it's surprisingly defensive. This sims best but it doesn't block his play.
I kept ED.
>Jackson_Smylie: CEHINOT 8C INCHO.TE +64 88
#note luckily the difference between this and ETH(A)NOIC# was small enough that I didn't risk collins confusion
Josh: Unbelievably Jackson was unsure if ETH(A)NOIC# was TWL or not. This is one of his ISC handles, so I knew I was in his turf now
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ADEEFSY 7H .AY +22 22
#note wow, could I have gotten away with FEDAYEES* here? I didn't know FEDAYEE-->FEDAYEEN, J2 FEDAYE(E) looks decent. However this is a good play for the board so I'm not sure which I would take in a do-over against Nigel.
>Jackson_Smylie: ?EEKLOP C3 rOPEL.KE +88 176
#note pOPEL(I)KE also, which seems better to not give the R, but long-term D1 plays are harder to get after rOPELIKE.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DEEFINS K1 DEFINES +86 108
#note Perhaps he would have challenged INFEEDS, just didn't seem worth the extra risk, but I need to put more emphasis on psychology. INFEEDS would have led to REM(I)X so a 10-point loss or so, but maybe he challenges even so. He has so many ridiculously good options.
>Jackson_Smylie: ?AEMRWX 1K .EWAX +51 227
#note I'm in a good enough position I didn't want to risk a triple triple or anything. Might be the wrong idea cause the board is so open, but there are also no blanks left. WAXER scores 59 but also makes a high scoring lane, leaves the D open. I really like DEWAX or WAXED, the latter cause it sets up my M for another scoring spot in case I don't draw a bingo. WAX d4 wins the sim! I bingo over 3/4 of the time, but I think I should be playing safe.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: GIIIIOV -AEILNOS +0 108
#note close to VITILIGO.
>Jackson_Smylie: ?EEMQRU 4B M.REsQUE +88 315
#note this was nice and Jackson is winning 998 games out of 1000.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ABBILUV B10 BUBAL +40 148
#note figured I should possibly play 10F BUB, but that this gave me better winning chances because it may lead to Jackson getting confused about hooks. BABUL would probably be better against a perfect opponent.
>Jackson_Smylie: ADEGIIL 15A GIED +34 349
>Jackson_Smylie: ADEGIIL -- -34 315
#note it's just BUBALIS sticky S!
Josh: Lucky for me I had no confusion on hooks. I had never studied BUBALIS. I had seen BUBALES/BAUBLES and BABUL/BUBAL and knew the hooks that way. Studying hurts word knowledge.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AINOUVZ 2F ZOUAV. +46 194
>Jackson_Smylie: ADEGIIL 15A GELID +34 349
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: IINNPTY 15A .....ITY +39 233
>Jackson_Smylie: AEGIRST 10H SEAGIRT +75 424
#note maybe AIGRETS or SEAGIRT overlapping gelidity to close things off more. JAMS can be dealt with, and I really need to just minimise the odds of hin bingoing 3 times. I guess the spread play AIGRETS might be worth taking since the diff in win% is so small
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: IINNOPS 2F ......S +21 254
#note going for OPINION!
Josh: ugh his word doesn't even take an S, guess I'll fish for OPINION, OPINING and PUNI(T)ION. This looks like possibly the best play, since it could allow me to bingo 3 times. Jackson can't do much about all the lanes on this board.
>Jackson_Smylie: ANORTUV N1 .VAUNT +22 446
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EIINNOP 14F PION +29 283
#note could play PINION A6 for two more but this looks better since I hit a bingo more often.
>Jackson_Smylie: GINOORT A6 TRIGON +28 474
#note could also do BOOTING here for more bingo defense, which could be the better spread play given his fish
Josh: guess PINION was better
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DEINORW 6I OW.D +36 319
#note another unplayable bingo this is depressing. I figure I have a better chance if I play OW(E)D cause it looks less fishy than other plays and he's more likely to go for spread instead of block lanes.
>Jackson_Smylie: ADFIOOR 13H FOOD +21 495
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CEILNRS 4N .N +3 322
#note wanted to block O4 HEART for 49, probably best to just go for 12I CLINE. ENCIRCLES almost played at E4 disconnectedly, but in this case I might actually hit a bingo if he misses R(E)CIR(C)LES E3 or even perhaps my spot for CLARIES I12. I didn't expect what followed.
>Jackson_Smylie: AAEIRRT M8 TE.RARIA +68 563
#note uh 1 space higher for 2 more points
Josh: Jackson was just as excited to bingo out as when Vassily Ivanchuk played Queen to G1 against Magnus Carlsen in the 2015 Chess World Blitz Championship to win the game! I hate moving up in the ranks because more and more games seem unwinnable. Gotta repurify.
>Jackson_Smylie: (CEHILRS) +24 587
