>Jason: ?DEILSS 8D DIESeLS +68 68
>Will: AAEGMTW 7C WAG +17 17
#note Best move I could find to keep the board alive, ensuring that SWAG and the DIESELS through tiles couldn't both be closed in one move.
>Jason: AANRSTU J6 AS.URANT +62 130
>Jason: AANRSTU -- -62 68
>Will: ADEEMTU I5 EMU.ATED +63 80
#note Tried to find a block of NATURALS that would make more sense than allowing SATURANT in response after EMULATED, but grudgingly settled on bingoing and hoping for a miss.
>Jason: AANRSTU H12 AURA +19 87
>Will: DHILRUW 5D WURLI. +18 98
#note Couldn't in good conscience leave the double-double open knowing he has NST to pair with the open E...otherwise I certainly play WHILED/WHIRLED on row 11.
>Jason: IJNN H1 JINN. +39 126
>Will: ADEEHNZ 4A ZEDA +58 156
>Jason: EFOOPST 14B POOFTE.S +80 206
>Will: EEFHNVY 15A VENEY +53 209
>Jason: BENO A1 BON.E +48 254
>Will: DFHPRRS E5 .P..RDS +22 231
#note Tanked a really long time here. Hated to give up the case S, but also felt like the FHR leave could potentially catch up to Jason over a couple turns if he's saddled with low-point tiles that don't bingo here. Between the row 13 spot with FON or HON and the column B overlapping area, I could be scoring a ton of points on my next couple turns. On the other hand, something like B4 ERF scores just about as well as UPGIRDS, keeps the synergistic DHPRS, and doesn't cripple the T of EMULATED, an important bingo lane.
>Jason: BKO 13A BOK +37 291
>Will: AFGHIRT 12B HIT +29 260
#note Don't think I spotted 3G INGRAFT, which looks like the right idea. Keeping FG together after HIT is not a recipe for bingoing quickly, and drawing three more tiles to chase the second blank is quite nice. 3A NAIF also keeps the synergistic GHRT and scores well.
>Jason: IQ G2 QI +26 317
>Will: AFGHRTU B2 HU.R +28 288
#note Just biding my time as I wait for a better opportunity to open here. I could keep the R, which greatly improves my leave, but there were more to draw and the extra points and tile pick are also appealing.
>Jason: LMOY 10B MOL.Y +25 342
>Will: AEFGNOT 3G ..FANTE +28 316
#note Considered C1 FOND, but I can't delay opening the board indefinitely.
>Jason: AX 4L AX +31 373
>Will: EGLNOOV 2M VOG +27 343
#note Really tough choice here; strongly considered 5L VOG instead, creating a very annoying situation for Jason if I grab the blank. Quackle suggests 5K EVO or GOO; these plays might be surprisingly good because of miracle J-bingo draws or LAURA hooking draws (LEVELING, LEVANTER, etc).
>Jason: GI O1 I.G +15 388
>Will: CELNOOT 5K COT +27 370
#note Thought about C1 COND and tacking the E on with 5K COTE, but couldn't work through all the possibilities (low time). I think I did also think of K1 CONTO, CP's pick, which does look nice to threaten bingos starting with A or I hooking TAX. It's better than LENTO, same spot, to retain the L for LAURA.
>Jason: ?ACERRT N5 TERRACe +72 460
>Will: AEEILNO O5 ALEE +29 399
#note Correct
>Jason: II 6I .I +6 466
>Will: INO M7 ION +15 414
#note I took -10 for time.
>Will: (I) +2 416
