>James_Curley: QQQQQQQ -QQQQQQQ +0 0
>Lipey: DEGIORW 8G WOG +14 14
#note Sim prefers opening long by ~2 points here. I realized it was pretty close at the time and took a while before opening short. It's close enough that I think it's ok to call it a stylistic choice.
>James_Curley: AEW 7H WAE +16 16
>Lipey: BDDEIRT 6I BRIDED +26 40
#note I felt there was a tangible advantage to blocking plays from the left side of column 5 or potential 2x2s; the improved equity of BID or even BIDED outweighs that.
>James_Curley: QTUU M2 TUQU. +28 44
>Lipey: JMNORTZ K3 ROJ. +22 62
#note Not playing at N1, of course. I like ROJI over 9F JOT because after JOT wth do I play next turn? My rack won't work with that board one bit.
>James_Curley: HY 2M .HY +18 62
>Lipey: DDMNRTZ O1 R.ND +30 92

>Lipey: ACEMOTT A8 CO.ATE +33 163
#note Jiminy Christmas! What a bingo I missed!
Would have played TOMCAT but I convinced myself it's two words, because I am not smart.

>Lipey: AEHMSTU C6 HUMA.EST +80 243
>James_Curley: GOV B5 VOG +19 204
>Lipey: EEKNNNP B9 K.NE +21 264
#note 10I PENK is better, I guess. It's just a waiting/cleaning move.
>James_Curley: EOSTV D4 STOVE +36 240
>Lipey: CEEINNP H11 .ENIC +45 309
>James_Curley: LOY I10 O.LY +22 262
>Lipey: EILNPSU 13F PU.. +10 319
#note I took a long time on this move and made a bad play when my clock got too low. I'm not really sure what to do. If I'm going to play for my own bingo here I'd like to develop a new area; if I'm not I'd like to score more. Maybe this is fine?
>James_Curley: ?AGLNRT K8 ReG.NTAL +58 320
#note The nutty thing is CLARTING makes it way likelier I bingo back!
>Lipey: EIILNRS L11 SEIL +29 348
#note Given that my phony stayed, it's a decent play. (I *know* AXIL / AXILS / AXILE no mouse, but in the heat of the moment, everything seems like a good idea.) Quackle won't tell me how often this play wins, but "score as much as you can and leave one" was a good heuristic with my clock low.
>James_Curley: AF I3 FA +23 343
>Lipey: AFIIINR H4 FA +21 369
#note Completely blanked on FINI (and INIA !) which are keys to a winning sequence. Out in two from here brings me home.
>James_Curley: AABOOS 14J B..OO +26 369
#note This play is fine
>Lipey: IIINR 15M RIN +13 382
#note Best
>James_Curley: AAS D13 AAS +6 375
#note Any outplay loses! James was low on time as well here, and panicked. A comedy of errors, but sometimes avoiding the final error is enough. :/
>James_Curley: (II) +4 379
#note Score agreed to 382-377 due to a late-game arithmetic error
