>Ken: DEELNRT E5 RET.LED +32 32
#note I missed F8 ANTLERED for 63. This is in my dark zone, highest prob 8s. Total nightmare. I probably needed to address this 5 tournaments ago. Finding the double-double E5 RETILED led me to not search harder for the bingo, but really the bingo should be automatic. Bad!
>Peter_S: AZ D4 ZA +24 94
>Ken: FGIINNS 11B FIN.INGS +63 95
#note I wasn't sure about 2K FININGS for 80 points which is clearly better.
>Peter_S: AELOOST B7 ALOO.EST +76 170
#note Challenging this off would have been really helpful to my chances. Apparently not knowing words makes this game harder.
>Ken: EIIJTUU A5 JUTE +41 136
>Peter_S: ABER A12 BEAR +38 208
>Ken: CIILPUU J6 CU.UP +20 156
#note I don't like closing the board while down, but I'm not sure what other play there is to make.
>Peter_S: ADEEENO D8 .EO. +10 218
>Ken: AIILRST K10 AIL +10 166
#note Quackle likes D3 IZAR for 15 points, which makes a lot of sense. It sets up the S hook on IZAR, at a minimum opens the 3 line for bingos, and it leaves AILST which is pretty good on this board, especially because the letters fit with possible K line bingos paralleling the U and P from CUTUP.

>Peter_S: HNT F4 NTH +30 329
>Ken: AADEEST 12J A.ATE +10 228
#note Quackle wasn't particularly impressed, but I thought J12 ALATE was a good play. It sets up D and S hooks. If somehow the O line stays open, I could potentially score 100 points on my next turn. It also leaves a bingo lane open on the M line, especially if I can get something to end in ED. Quackle prefers 6L MADE I assume because of the triple-triple possibility, but Peter won't let that stay open given the size of his lead. Quackle's favorite equity play is 6L MAE, but that also can be blocked. I still like ALATE J12, not that it made a difference

#note Honestly didn't think WHOLER was good, but at the same time, I thought there was a good chance Peter wouldn't challenge. This play allowed me to cut spread a bit.
