>JD: ELMNTUZ 8G LUZ +24 24
>James_Curley: ACEE I5 CEA.E +18 18
>JD: AEJMNRT H7 J.N +21 45
#note pretty defensive - I was curious how James would react
>James_Curley: HM J6 HM +40 58
>JD: AEHMNRT J9 THARM +21 66
#note oh no, he blocked both MERCHANT and HM! This looks best, or THAR leaving the M hook.
>James_Curley: KOPW 11I K.POW +28 86
>JD: BDENPRY 12L PEND +31 97
#note picked PEND because it sets up WEB/BY/NY if he plays up from the D. But best of all is BEYOND which doesn't stick a D in the triple-triple lane.
>James_Curley: ADIO O11 A.DIO +21 107
>JD: ?BDIRRY N14 BY +27 124
#note oof, YARDBIRD would've been nice
>James_Curley: ?DEEORS 5E fRES.OED +98 205
>JD: ?DIRRST E2 DRI.TeRS +57 181
#note major mistake, missed RITARDS, but also just DIRTS at H1 with plenty of good lanes to blank bingo next turn
>James_Curley: GIOV 8A VIGO. +30 235
>JD: ALNNOSU B6 UN.SONAL +62 243
>James_Curley: EFIN A12 FENI +44 279
>JD: AAEORTX 13L AX +49 292
>James_Curley: IQTU H1 QUIT. +45 324
>JD: AEIIORT 4K OI +12 304
#note definitely AGIO here. I passed it up because I thought somehow that AEIRT was more likely to fit on column F, but the points are valuable. I should also think about GIO to keep column L and row 3 more open.
>James_Curley: EFY C13 FEY +30 354
#note he played this at least in part because he inferred my last play as a sign that I had the case S in hand.
>JD: AEILRTT 3G L.TERATI +77 381
>James_Curley: AEGLOST 4D G.O +10 364
#note his actual rack here. Afterward he regretted not playing OPAL at this turn, threatening a 11/16 shot at drawing a bingo. In actuality I probably would've blocked OPALS with AL/AB, but then he can still draw into column F bingos like OUTAGES/TOWAGES/ONSTAGE to steal the win.
>JD: ABCEUVW 2L CUBE +33 414
#note at this point, given what James' leave is likely to have been, I think he's probably the favorite - but at least I keep VAW/AGIO if I need it
>James_Curley: AEILOST F9 ISOLATE +63 427
>JD: AEEIRVW 15E R.WEAVE +39 453
#note I escape thanks to drawing a good scoring play. great game!
