#player1 JD JD
#player2 Mina Mina
>JD: AAEIMRY 8G MAYA +18 18
#note JD: autopiloted and completely failed to consider either of the two top plays - RIMAYE for 30 or fishing with AY. not sure why I didn't even consider them
>Mina: CDEEFIW 9D WIFE +16 16
#note Mina: Oops, I forgot FY. The correct move was 7I FEW making FY. Meanwhile, I picked WIFE because E(W) isn't good yet, but it ended up hurting me anyway.
>JD: EINOORV 8A VINO +30 48
#note JD: if she plays FEW at 7I, I get OMNIVORE!
>Mina: CDEEHIR 10B CHE +20 36
#note Mina: Oh! There was a bingo available but I didn't know it, CH(A)RIDEE, and the second-best play is (OW)CHE, which I also didn't know, followed by a super-cute C(OW)HIDE.
>JD: ABEELOR 10G EARLOBE +66 114
>Mina: DEEIORS N9 OSIERED +82 118
#note Mina: Correctly picked the highest-scoring bingo play. Didn't know RE(B)ODIES, but now that I look it up, I just learned REBODIES --> OREBODIES -- FOREBODIES!
>JD: ?EKOOTT L10 .ETOOK +34 148
#note JD: disaster - I thought of TESTBOOK*, but somehow failed to come up with the only 8 in this rack - TEXTBOOK!!!
>Mina: GLLNOUW O6 GLOW +29 147
#note Mina: Best play.
>JD: ?EILNTX O14 XI +45 193
#note JD: accidentally put down the blank instead of the X!!!
>Mina: ACELNNU 15H CLUN. +33 180
#note Mina: I wrote on my scoresheet, "unclean 78 if mayan is good." However, I wasn't brave enough to try the bingo and take a chance on its hook. Game could have gone differently. As it is, I never come remotely close to giving Jesse a competitive game.
>JD: ??ELNRT 11C aLTeRNE +81 274
#note JD: wow, snuck OWEL* past as a phony 4!! no wonder the hooks looked so unfamiliar...
>Mina: AAEEENY A8 .EENA +18 198
#note Mina: Oh beautiful, the top play is 7G EYNE making four overlaps! As I said, finding these clever multi-overlap moves is beyond me.
>JD: AAGIQRV 5K VIRGA +27 301
#note JD: blocks the board more proactively than other plays - most notably, the S hook for MAYA
>Mina: ADEORUY 7I AYU +18 216
#note Mina: Win percentages are well below 5%, but Quackle favors 14I AY for 28 even though it keeps DEORU. My play, of course, opens a lane.
>JD: AAFIQTT 7B QAT +35 336
#note JD: sets up a big S hook, which was undesirable, but also cleans up rack much more than playing FAQIR.
>Mina: DEOPRSS K10 .P +16 232
#note Mina: Things are looking better, as he's given me a lane on column E, pluralizing QAT, and the lane pluralizing VEENA remains open, and I have two S's.
>JD: AAFISTT 6F FIAT +21 357
>Mina: DEORSST 7B ...S +13 245
#note Mina: Game is now considered unwinnable; Quackle recommends closing spread by playing 12A (A)RDS for 34. But I'm still keeping that (VEENA)S lane open and also hoping for the horizontal bingo lane above FIAT.
>JD: AEIIPST C5 PI.. +6 363
#note JD: the idea here is that Mina just signaled a really strong rack, and probably the last S, so I block row 5 while also setting up a bingo lane of my own that she can never use. Not sure how much PIAN really blocks though - if I think she has the S for sure, then PSI/TOWELS may be stronger by blocking the VEENAS hook.
>Mina: DEORSTU N4 U. +3 248
#note Mina: (I thought of A(PIAN) but wouldn't have been sure on it.)
>JD: AEIINST 4A ISATINE +73 436
>Mina: DEORSTZ B1 DZO. +28 276
>JD: BDGHMOU 3J BOUGH +29 465
>Mina: DEJRRST H1 JETS +45 321
#note JD: not worth it for Mina to block my out of MO/MIND.
>JD: DMN A3 M.ND +11 476
#note JD: can also play MEN at M9 leading to same eventual spread.
>JD: (DRR) +8 484
