#player1 Jason_Li Jason Li
#player2 Matt_Canik Matt Canik
>Jason_Li: DEFN 8G FEND +16 16
>Matt_Canik: ABEOQSX J4 BOXE. +31 31
#note Coin flip between this and BOXES/FENDS.
>Jason_Li: ANTYZ 4J .YZANT +42 58
>Matt_Canik: AFGQSTU M2 QU.G +28 59
#note Q marginally prefers QUA(F)F for 25 here (-1.1)
It's fortunate that I had racks that I couldn't really mess up to start this game because I'm still completely distraught over how badly I played round 1
>Jason_Li: CINS 2J CIN.S +44 102
#note Jason played CIN(Q) to win in round 1 because his opponent didn't see it. He also played CINQ in round 3. Heh.
>Matt_Canik: AFIOSTT 5I F.O +22 81
#note Everything sucks here but I guess this sucks the least
>Jason_Li: AEILRRS O4 .RAILERS +74 176
>Matt_Canik: ?AILSTT 11H ALToIST. +64 145
#note ALToISTS is going to keep this game a lot more open than STArLIT (which i'll need because I'm still going to be down 30ish and a tempo after this turn) but is it worth giving up 7 points?
>Jason_Li: AAPU 9D PAUA +13 189
#note To be passing up on (N)APA, Jason must have tons of vowels. At this point in the game, there are also a lot more vowels unseen than expected
>Matt_Canik: ?EHLMNY L6 HYMEN.aL +86 231
#note Especially when one considers that I only drew 1 vowel!
>Jason_Li: AEE - +0 189
#note Jason said he felt HYMENIAL was a word but had so many vowels that he didn't like his prospects of winning the game if HYMENIAL stayed, so he challenged
>Matt_Canik: BDKNOVW 12E KNOW +24 255
#note With the assumption that Jason's rack sucks, I can just start blocking down the board. I love holding the V for further blocking next turn
>Jason_Li: AEE E11 A.EE +16 205
>Matt_Canik: ABDGJVV 14D D.V +15 270
#note no sir
>Jason_Li: EINT 15A TINE +19 224
>Matt_Canik: ABGJMRV B12 VAG. +16 286
#note no sir
>Jason_Li: EHI 7H HI. +15 239
>Matt_Canik: BJMOOOR 8A MOJO +47 333
>Jason_Li: ADI M11 .AID +15 254
#note I figured this had a hook, but I couldn't decide what the surprise hook was supposed to be (it's S), so I spend about two minutes deliberating what's most likely to be a word of SAIDA*, SAIDE*, or SAIDS.
>Matt_Canik: ABGIORU A6 GU.BO +10 343
#note I'm not sure if it's better to keep running or to obscure the 6 line.... given that SAIDS is a word, though, this play is so stupid
>Jason_Li: DEILRRS 6A .IRDLERS +70 324
#note And now that play is even worse!!!
>Matt_Canik: AEIORRW 13G WEIR +27 370
>Jason_Li: EEIOTTU J11 .I.E +6 330
>Matt_Canik: ACEOPR 5D AERO +19 389
>Jason_Li: EOTTU M7 OUT +18 348
>Matt_Canik: CP 13A C.P +14 403
>Matt_Canik: (ET) +4 407
