>JD: ADIILSV 8D VALID +26 26
>Nigel: BEFLOST G3 BOTFL.ES +68 68
>JD: AEIIMOS H1 MOAI +28 54
#note oof, missing a natural is brutal here (about a 19-point mistake). In the words of Panupol: "Jesse started with TWL and played for years..ameiosis isn't a word in TWL so possibly he had 1st perception no bonus from that rack"
>Nigel: EGORRRY E6 GR.YER +20 88
#note I'm pretty sure Nigel would be playing ORRERY in a regular game. This is him responding to match conditions and choosing a very defensive option.
>JD: ?AEIIRS I1 AIRSIdE +73 127
#note didn't see SERIATIM for whatever reason, chickened out of MISRAISE. MISRAISE seems best for the board.
>Nigel: ANOORTY D8 .OTARY +33 121
>JD: AAEHILO C9 HAO +29 156
>Nigel: GINOSUW 13D .U +5 126
>JD: ACEILNN B4 ENCINAL +83 239
>Nigel: GHINOSW 10G .HOWINGS +75 201
>JD: ?BGILRU M7 BUR.LInG +80 319
#note the question is, am I desperate enough to play BULLRING for 72 one short of the DWS or not? ultimately I was ready to try BURGLINGS* if I had to, and this forks open two quadrants nicely.
>Nigel: DEENNSW A1 ENEW +42 243
>JD: AEMOPTX L6 POX +41 360
#note blah, gotta find TOXEMIA here. sucks. a lot of hot spots on this board.
>Nigel: ADEJNNS H10 .ADJES +57 300
>JD: AEMPTTT 15A ATTEMPT. +89 449
>Nigel: CENNORU K4 NOUN +17 317
#note Nigel definitely playing for the match spread and chooses an extremely defensive option, blocking the last two threatening bingo lines (columns K and N). ROUNCE at N2 is the obvious spread play but risks a comeback of ZITE/TROUNCE or the like.
>JD: DEEEFTU 14J FUD.E +36 485
#note this position is really volatile, which is great for me - the Q and Z are both out and will likely score 50+ each, and FUDGE threatens 80+ point plays like QADI/FUDGED or ZEDA/FUDGED
>Nigel: CEIOQRZ A7 QI +50 367
>JD: DEEIKTV O12 VIDE +48 533
#note play this first because it threatens KET/OK/EE/NAT if Nigel plays ZOEA at L1 for 50.
>Nigel: ACEORZ 9I ZEA +50 417
