#note I forget who first gave me this advice (it may have been Conrad): If you're going to play two vowels on the opening play, you're better off trading them instead. It's only a point ahead on the sim, but against Kenji (who is so good at inferences and thwarting your plans), my -ING bingos aren't likely to have a home on the board after his play.
>Kenji_Matsumoto: DEMOPVY 8H MOPEY +32 32
#note Missed YOMPED.

#note I don't think either of us was 100% on DIVAGATED. Not sure using the hook is an improvement anyway.
>Kenji_Matsumoto: CELMORS 3A SCLEROM. +80 311
>Mike: ?AIKOST D2 K.ITlOAS +74 275
#note GOATSKIN would be a big improvement. I looked for plays on column A and saw STOKESIA about five minutes too late.

>Kenji_Matsumoto: BCDNNOR 15C BRONC. +11 355
#note Close. I wasn't really 100% sure on DIVAGATED, which influenced this decision: am only going to play it if I have to but not likely going to challenge. This seems reasonable either way, though.
>Mike: BDINOOU 2D .OB +27 337
#note Probably need to maximize chances of drawing the blank with BOUDIN B9.
>Kenji_Matsumoto: ?ADFNNU B9 FAUN +22 377
#note This is a pretty big error, but again I just didn't want to risk DIVAGATED unless necessary. This is pretty close to necessary, though.
>Mike: DIJNOPU A12 UPDO +27 364
#note This is where not knowing DIVAGATED hurts; plays on column N such as JUDO N3 give me the best chance, though as the tiles lay nothing would've mattered.
>Kenji_Matsumoto: ?ADEENR 1H .ARDENEd +80 457
>Mike: EIJNNRZ M3 JE.Z +40 404
#note JIB C13 starts the best sequence.
