#note Not sure why not POW?
>Eric_Harshbarger: ?ENRSSW 6B WoRSENS +78 78

>Eric_Harshbarger: INV C3 VIN. +12 90
>Avery: EELNPTT 8C TENTP.LE +61 101
>Eric_Harshbarger: I - +0 90
#note Challenged TENTPOLE. Thank goodness he didn't block.
>Avery: ?AEEHTT J3 AEsTH.TE +64 165
#note I think I just completely missed ATHLETE here. I saw 7H CATHETER, but that's too open. This seemed the best of the three placements, and also better than any placement of HEBETATE, which I saw.
>Eric_Harshbarger: FIKR 3I F.KIR +32 122
>Avery: AEEIOTZ F8 .IZ +32 197
#note Partially blocking the AESTHETES hook. Most of my other options are too open for my taste anyway, with a lead.
>Eric_Harshbarger: ADNS K8 SAND +25 147
>Avery: ADEEIOT L9 ODEA +20 217
>Eric_Harshbarger: AGNP I10 PANG +16 163
>Avery: AEGIRRT 12D TEARI.G +18 235
#note I was set to play something with PANGA but got in my head and talked myself out of it. Barring that, This mucks up a lot of his best bingo lines - I'm not the favorite to bingo here since this board is pretty bad for bingos, so I'd rather just end the game quicker and exhaust the places he can play. Unconventional move for sure. I'm also hoping that next turn I can play beneath this on row 13 to block the PANGS hook, if he doesn't hit his bingo, since after SAND, he's pretty much guaranteed to have the case S. Quackle doesn't find this on CP or static obviously but it shoots near the top on a sim, behind things like GRIZ which I don't like as much since AERT isn't as strong here, and this blocks the N.
>Eric_Harshbarger: AGHORSU 11D UH +22 185
#note His rack.
>Avery: EEEILRY 13B LEERY +30 265
#note Just what I wanted to do. I missed EERIE though, which is a better version of this.
>Eric_Harshbarger: AGIOORS M12 GOO +11 196
#note Nice board-forking play.
>Avery: DEEILOU 15M DUO +18 283
#note He definitely has the S, so I'd rather block the bingo line that scores more (row 15). This also puts a weak letter for 8s at O15, hence not playing OLDIE for 9 more. One big bingo puts him right back in the game, which I don't want. I can outrun a 60-point bingo most of the time.
>Eric_Harshbarger: AA B12 A.A +6 202
>Avery: BEEILMN 15A LEBEN +28 311
#note Tempting to do MILNEB, but that's not a bingo lane, so I need to block that - again, a sizable bingo puts him right back in this. I think I was getting low on time so I did this quickly since the M seemed to combine fine with the I, despite there being 3 left. Not my best effort here
>Eric_Harshbarger: RY N13 RY. +24 226
#note Nice play to open a new line. I can't do anything about it!
>Avery: IJLMOOX J12 .OJI +31 342
>Eric_Harshbarger: DOV 15H VO.D +24 250
>Avery: FIILMOX A9 MOIL +10 352
#note I'm like out of time now (2 minutes or so), so I panic and put this down, hoping I can draw one of AEE to play AX or EX for 50. Really? I can't believe I did that.
