#description Will Anderson plays Joshua Sokol in Round 20 at the 2019 NSC
>Will: ADILLRR 8D DRILL +16 16
>Joshua: ?AANSSU E5 SAU.iANS +78 78
#note I itterated through all the alphagrams here before shuffling for like 20 seconds and finding this. #shufflingsmall
>Will: ABEFNRV 12A BARF. +26 42
#note My issues evaluating V-containing leaves continue. FAVES is the better option; it scores 4 more than BARFS and bingos approximately 1% more without yielding any higher opp. avg. score. #tacticssmall
>Joshua: EEEIOWY F3 YEOW +33 111
#note liked being more scoring-defensive in this spot, otherwise D1 YOWIE is probably the play.
>Will: AEEKNUV B10 KN.VE +44 86
>Joshua: DEEGIMO A7 DEMO +27 138
>Will: AEEEGRU 13B .EE +21 107
>Joshua: ?EGIIII -GIIII +0 138
>Will: ADEGIRU B2 GAUDIER +77 184
>Joshua: ?ADEEIN G3 ENtAI.ED +77 215
>Will: CEOOPTT C1 POTTO +26 210
#note CE is a pretty good starting point to play from A1 next turn for a good score. Not too many A's and E's left for AGO/EGO; Josh could easily not be able to play there.
>Joshua: GHLOTVY 14A L.VY +25 240
#note huge miss of 1C (P)HYTOL. Ouch #findinglarge
>Will: CEIIISW -IWI +0 210
#note DRILLS is never getting fully blocked here except by the other S; H1 plays could be annoying, though.
>Joshua: AGHNOTZ A1 OATH +50 290
>Will: CEIIRSX 1C .IXIES +48 258
>Joshua: BGNOOTZ H1 .ONG +19 309
>Will: CEIPRSU E1 .U +9 267
#note Bingo chances after this are good, though not great - 13/29 tiles hit DRILLS on the current board.
>Joshua: BCOOTWZ 10D B.W. +18 327
>Will: CEIPRSU -U +0 267
#note Let's try that again
>Joshua: CLNOOTZ 7A ..L +5 332
#note really interesting spot. I'm expecting him to open something for the Z, but I can even hit 8s with CNOOTZ which I'll admit I didn't even consider. This just seemed intuitively correct. I just don't want to draw the Q, which will also be a theme later this game.
>Will: ACEIPRS I8 SCRAPIE +72 339
#note Not sure which word to play; after SPACIER it would feel bad to get hit with a big JI- or ZI- play, or heaven forbid QINTAR.
>Joshua: CFNOOTZ H13 OFT +25 357
#note trying that Z setup thing again :)
>Will: HIJMNRT J14 HM +32 371
#note Even I can block this setup
>Joshua: ACENORZ 2H .RZO +33 390
>Will: IIJNRTT K1 J.INT +24 395
#note Not a great situation, but I basically have to hope Josh picked a U-less Q.
>Joshua: ACEGINQ K1 .....ING +16 406
#note That is what occurred. Lucky
>Will: AEIRTU 1K .URAT +39 434
#note Better by ten points is just playing JURA. Very nice. #endgamemedium
>Joshua: ACEQ 6J Q. +31 437
>Will: EI 12I .IE +5 439
#note M1 REI for one more #endgamesmall
>Will: (ACE) +10 449
