#note Missed a really cool option here - K4 TINDER, which scores 33 and preserves two ZE spots for me to hit next turn if I simply draw an E. It's a smidge better than DITZIER, which is still a solid move, blocking up the board pretty well.

>Will: AAEEIQR 9B QI +16 289
#note Really tough call between QI, N5 AE, and exchanging. I certainly wish I had exchanged in hindsight but Quackle thinks the three plays are nearly equivalent. I wanted to do at least try and block something, but reparallels underneath with QI could be even more annoying than the D of DYNAMO would be just sitting open.

#note [CL] For some reason I thought HANCE didn't take an S.
>Will: AAEOPPR D12 PARP +36 347
#note PARP is a slight overreaction to the vowel scarcity in the unseen pool; Quackle still slightly prefers my other candidate plays, POEP and D11 OPERA.
>Chris: GILOSTT 15C S.IGOT +38 309
>Will: ABEJOUX K12 BAJU +17 364
#note Brutal position, but I think I made the winningest move. Obviously, 14G JEUX jumps out as the standout equity play, putting me up by a lot, but Chris has a bingo 96% of the time afterwards. The only question is, how often does that bingo score enough to overtake me? The answer is basically it always does, as he has a ton of double-doubles ending in the C of HANCE and on the rare occasions that he doesn't, he has something like VISIONAL 5A to pull ahead. BAJU lowers his bingo chances to a smidge over 60%, and even beats some two-blank racks like ALSTV??.
>Chris: ??AILST H3 ALle...IST +61 370
#note Beautiful winning play, just have to tip your cap. Chris went over a few minutes looking and I had time to calculate exactly how far overtime I needed him to go before I would win the game even after his bingo. One more minute overtime (thirty more seconds, in fact) and I would be able to just let ALLEGORIST stay on the board without a challenge and win the game anyway. There were a bunch of nines playable here as well, mostly very difficult finds, and then SAILPAST and APLASTIC with the HANCES hook.
