#note Forgot to record time, but I spent probably too long thinking about PEND, CEND, and LEND.

#note Need the hook, so kept off the C. 20:04 (that's too low already)
>Tim: BGI 10B BIG +28 124
>Will: ACDENOO 11C CANOED +38 65
#note Quackle slightly prefers 11B ODA and OCA, sacrificing some points to gain a solid chunk of bingo%. That does make sense. JAGAS overlapping plays still go down after CANOED, and JESTINGS is still wide open, so I shouldn't be scared to make JAGAS plays more accessible after ODA/OCA, especially at a deficit. #strategysmall - forgot to record time.

#note Seemed a worthwhile gamble; if Tim doesn't have an E or blank it's just so annoying. Quackle slightly prefers M8 PEZANT, 2A PATZER, and 13J GATED. PEZANT opens two lines at once on a board without many good ones; PATZER creates a moderately annoying threat on column A. Marlon noted that GATED sets up both ZAG and ZIT as potential overlaps on row 11, which I didn't consider. All three plays draw more tiles towards a blank with both unseen than ADZ does. Upgrading this from small to #strategymedium. 11:14
>Tim: ELNY 15G LYNE +35 415
>Will: AAEGPTW 3B PAW +30 342
#note Played over WATAPE to preserve row 14 as a line and played over better equity GAW to create the SPAW threat, which is just the heavy hitting line I need. 9:05
>Tim: ACINR 1A RACIN. +27 442
>Will: AEFGRTU N10 FR.ET +32 374
#note Tanked for a good long while here. Played FREET over AFREET because the best pathway to victory I could imagine from here was to draw the Y and score with either FREETY or plays down column O forming FY and gunning for the outbingo, hopefully with SPAW. Don't see anything I consider to be appreciably better. 2:45
>Tim: ABIO O7 OBIA +23 465
>Will: ?AFGRSU O13 FAG +28 402
#note N1 GAUFERS never wins, obviously; CP slightly prefers 11K UG to FAG, but I was imagining FAG potentially drawing into solid scoring bingos on both columns A and N. The problem with FAG is obviously that first, it empties the bag. Second, I was worried that if Tim has the Y he can outrun me with any reasonable FREETY play, but given that I probably need the Y and either the M or the other blank to even threaten the win, I should just bank on drawing it myself, making blocking it unimportant. At least I made a play that has a nontrivial chunk of winning%. #strategysmall 0:45
