>Joshua_Sokol: ?ABEIMZ H7 IMBlAZE +108 108
#note my opponents kept opening with bingos---oh wait this was me this time
>Max_Panitch: DOY 14F YOD +36 36
>Joshua_Sokol: CGIOSTT 13E COT. +15 123
#note or 13G G(E)T fish, but this is nice defense, even if Max can reopen row 15 after playing an -OY word on column F.
But the G is so bad that defense doesn't even matter.
>Max_Panitch: AEEIMSS G2 MISEASE +68 104
#note maybe on the other side to facilitate top left bingos although it allows a lot of destroying H1 plays. SIAMESE G2 sims best.
>Joshua_Sokol: GHIPSTU 10F UP.IGHTS +69 192
#note almost played UPSIGHTS* which I really thought was good
>Max_Panitch: IORSV H1 VISOR +38 142
>Joshua_Sokol: DIKNRRU 5B DRUNK.. +24 216
#note I missed K9 D(H)IKR, maybe that's better not to open the dead left side
>Max_Panitch: FOT D2 TOF. +14 156
>Joshua_Sokol: EIIOOPR 12H .OOIER +30 246
>Max_Panitch: ADR F1 RAD +17 173
>Joshua_Sokol: AAABEIP C2 APE. +27 273
#note almost played A(F)* here. Also considered B1 BAAE(D) but this sets up ABA and scores more and blocks the R in DRUNKER
>Max_Panitch: ALR B2 LAR. +27 200
#note also gives him dumps
>Joshua_Sokol: AABGHIT 11B BAITH +25 298
#note Incredibly I think I saw HABITAT as a possibility when drawing this rack but totally missed it at L4. This made the game much more difficult to win easily. I2 AH sims best but he can just go for a VA bingo later on and Quackle doesn't understand that. Still limits options nicely and might be better than BAITH.
>Max_Panitch: EELT 12A LEET +20 220
>Joshua_Sokol: AGGINTY 6A AY +30 328
#note GY(B)E is the other option but I want to keep my distance by scoring well
>Max_Panitch: EIOR J10 .O.IER +9 229
>Joshua_Sokol: EGGINQT A6 .GING +21 349
>Max_Panitch: ACEEN 15J .ECANE +33 262
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AELNQT -Q +0 349
#note calculated this one out, I hit with everything except the J. This is therefore better than QA(T) or QAT(S) which open up big spots that allow Max to either bingo with the V or with what he opened after using the spot. I can't always outrun those.
>Max_Panitch: EFW 14M FEW +32 294
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AELLNT M3 gELLANT. +68 417
#note He blocked TENAILL(E) but at least I had this. Missed TALLNES(S) for the style, and PLANTLET and NETBALLS, but I also had ELEMENTAL throught the EM BUT I ALSO HAD ALLET(H)R(I)N WOW
>Max_Panitch: DIJOQUV 4J JIV.D +32 326
#note This seems like the clear choice in the endgame for Max, however JIV(E) is 12 points better because I can't really block QUOD/JIVED without scoring nothing and allowing a new out in two.
>Joshua_Sokol: NNUWX I7 XU +40 457
>Max_Panitch: OQU N1 QUO. +29 355
>Max_Panitch: (NNW) +12 367
