>Oliver_Roeder: GHO 8G HOG +14 14
>Joshua_Sokol: EEEIUYZ -EEIUY +0 0
#note EYE 7E is the highest-simming move by a small margin.
>Oliver_Roeder: AGIMRRT 9B TRIGRAM +72 86
>Joshua_Sokol: AEFMOUZ B7 FU.Z +36 36
#note not appealing to make this sort of play this early but I felt I had to. Risky but perhaps necessary.
>Oliver_Roeder: IN A7 IN +17 103
>Joshua_Sokol: AEJKMOR 10G JAKE +35 71
#note missing ROMAJ(I) D4 which is just nice, even though this is good for aggression.

>Oliver_Roeder: EITU 11D ETUI +22 125
>Joshua_Sokol: DMOORTY K7 MOORY +36 107
#note DORMY sims best, or DORTY. I'm not really sure how to analyze this position properly, but I was pretty hunched that he would miss JAKER or not know it.
>Oliver_Roeder: ACLP 12C CLAP +26 151
#note play was held and released
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADEOPT L2 cOAPTED +81 188
>Oliver_Roeder: AHW M3 WHA +37 188
>Joshua_Sokol: BENOSUW M7 WEB +31 219
#note missed N2 BESNOW which is decent since Q and ? and more eses are out and since it scores well.
>Oliver_Roeder: ILOV A3 VIOL.. +10 198
>Joshua_Sokol: NNOOSUX C3 NOUNS +19 238
#note L11 OXO is the other play to consider I would say. It sets up NUN for 25, which might not get blocked, but also around 1/4 of the time I draw into something. So at least 50% of the time OXO works out well.
>Oliver_Roeder: AIRTTY N9 YTTRIA +29 227
>Joshua_Sokol: DEIORSX M12 OX +38 276
#note interesting choice here. Figured he wouldn't be sure of YTTRIAS or YTTRIAL* so just went straight for the bingo. Still there is a lot of value in playing OXIDE or DOXIE O5 to score and block the easiest lane to hit. D3 OX might also be better since it prevents him from playing from D1 and open 3x3 threats/easy Q plays. Not sure here.
>Oliver_Roeder: BELU O6 BLUE +26 253
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEIRST 15H TIRADES +90 366
>Oliver_Roeder: AE N2 AE +10 263
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEGLNS 14C DANGLES +67 433
>Oliver_Roeder: CEO 15A ECO +18 281
>Joshua_Sokol: ?DEINQV 5C .NlIVED +20 453
#note I really only considered QaDI O1, VE(G) I6 and this. I was worried SERIFING* was good, so I calculated the endgames with that in mind. This is wrong since SERIFING* is not a word. 3K V(OWE)D blocks REFINES/SMEW, the only available bingo, and keeps threats of Qa(D)I open.

#knowledgemedium
>Oliver_Roeder: EFIINRS 4H FIR +22 303
#note Oliver's best play is the odd E3 SE(l)FIN(G) to block both Q spots. I would have challenged since I didn't remember that being valid when considering my play last turn.
>Joshua_Sokol: EQ D8 Q. +21 474
