>Rafi: AEFIIMS 8H IF +10 10
>Josh: ?BEEIIP 7H PI +15 15
>Rafi: AEEEIMS J5 EME +16 26
#note It's hard to pass up points but both EMEs are too dangerous, especially after PI. Big mistake here, should exchange EE or AEE.
>Josh: ?BDEEGI 5D BEsIEG.D +94 109
>Rafi: AEINSTT 9G INSTATE +72 98
>Josh: CMVVWWY K8 W.VY +26 135
>Rafi: AAEIIRU L11 AUREI +17 115
>Josh: CMNSTVW F2 CWM. +16 151
#note I also considered playing CWMS N6, but since I figured I could choose to keep my S again next turn instead of playing it immediately, I thought there was some value in keeping it. this might be foolish
>Rafi: AADEIPZ 8K .IPED +43 158
#note I have ZEDA and AZIDE for more, but the Z is so powerful here and WIPED doesn't give up too many points.
>Josh: AEFNSTV 14J VE.NA +32 183
#note once again I make an unconventional decision to block the E since I for some reason think he's sitting on a huge play down there. He fooled me.
>Rafi: AANORXZ 4A ZONA +54 212
#note ZONAE for 45 is worth consideration
>Josh: AAFHSTU A1 FUT. +48 231
>Rafi: AIRRSTX 15N XI +36 248
>Josh: AAEHQRS -UU +0 231
#note the Q is just not worth keeping here. Only two U's left to draw and two I's. Best to just try and hit next turn.
>Rafi: ALORRST 7L LOR +15 263
>Josh: AEHNORS D3 H..ANEROS +65 296
>Rafi: AEGORST C10 GO +8 271
#note HABANEROS is the most annoying play in Scrabble history, blocking ABROGATES, ESCARGOT, and ORGEATS without opening up another bingo for me. DAMN YOU JOSH!!! :) GO is also just a a terrible play, I was pretty rattled here.
>Josh: ?DLNOOU N1 UNcOLO..D +81 377
#note so ridiculous how this all went down
>Rafi: AEIRRST 2H RETRAI.S +60 331
#note Thought it would be reasonable to forgo ERRATICS to threaten a big QUA spot to complicate the game a bit for Josh.
>Josh: EHIKNOT H1 T.IK. +42 419
#note T(R)OKE is a bit better but I was only 99% sure and this was similar. It's almost worth it to block AQ(U)A-like plays with K(U)E or H(U)E but there are other threats lurking.
>Rafi: ACDJLSU C2 JU. +30 361
>Josh: EHLNORT O4 HONE. +30 449
#note perhaps I maximize the chance of drawing Q(U)A with 8A HER(E)ON and block more bingos. He could only have (H)AYLAGES from the H and he wins if the A is in the bag.
>Rafi: AACDLOS B6 SCALADO +74 435
>Josh: BELQRTY A12 BYTE +43 492
>Rafi: AG C9 A..G +17 452
>Rafi: (LQR) +24 476
