>Mack: ?ABBCEI H4 CABBIEs +80 80
#note Chickened out of BABIChE! That's certainly more stylish, may not be better though as it takes an S.

>Jack: ALP I7 ALP +32 234
>Mack: DEIIMMU M9 MIMED +38 376
#note This scores the most by far but is actually a significant strategic mistake at this score compared to the simple 6F MIB, and Jack's next play reveals why.
>Jack: EEGN N10 GENE +26 260
#note Very smart play by Jack, and a risk he absolutely needs to take at this score - I could of course have an N or an S, but if I don't the SIG hook is extremely difficult for me to deal with and could yield 100+ point bingos for him.
>Mack: AADEIRU 15B AUREI +17 393
#note Now I'm really in a pickle. I could play 11M MED, which is the only way of addressing Jack's opening without giving something equally dangerous back, but I don't think my position is secure enough to do that - he could still bingo on row 2 to bring it within 40, and especially with my bad leave and so many scoring tiles he could easily catch up. I thus decided to do this and concede a big bingo on column O if he just drew it, and then hopefully if he does I'll be able to hold on to my small lead with a new and better rack after AUREI.
>Jack: FO 6F FO. +31 291
>Mack: ADEOTYZ L12 DOZY +54 447
>Jack: ?DEIOSW O4 WEIrDOS +97 388
>Mack: AAENOTU N4 ANOA +18 465
#note Blocking the X bomb.
>Jack: AALNRRX 14A LAX +33 421
#note Jack nearly put RAX down before smartly going with LAX since RAX gives me JOUSTER! We both overlooked XYLAN though, which is best by 3
>Mack: EJOSTU 15L .OUS +21 486
#note Somewhat surprisingly, it appears I can force Jack to get stuck with either an R or N here - just GENET is apparently best by 5 rather than the out in two.
>Jack: ANRR 4L .R.. +9 430
>Mack: EJT 7D JET +16 502
>Mack: (ANR) +6 508
