>Sal_Piro: AEEINTT 8D TAENITE +66 66
>Matthew_Larocque: AEHINOV E8 .VION +16 16
#note I made a point of changing my strategy in situations like this. Before, I'd try to grind out a close win, instead of just blowing the board open. I had been drawing a lot of bingos, so I went with the flow.
>Sal_Piro: IWZ D11 WIZ +39 105
>Matthew_Larocque: AAEEHLO 7G OLEA +16 32
#note Okay, that didn't last long. There just aren't many plays that don't block stuff. G7 ENHALO? It's one thing to open, but let's be smart about it.
>Sal_Piro: DERSTUY 6A RESTUDY +73 178
>Matthew_Larocque: ABEEHOP 6I PHOEBE +42 74
>Sal_Piro: ?DEIKMO L3 DOM.lIKE +80 258
#note Yeah this is gonna be a laugher.
>Matthew_Larocque: ACGIIUX A4 CU.IA +30 104
>Sal_Piro: AJM M2 JAM +34 292
>Matthew_Larocque: GIRX 13A GRI. +28 132
>Sal_Piro: ACDEST O4 CASTED +50 342
#note I didn't even hold, but after a couple of turns it hit me. I had looked this up before and found out the shocking truth. I don't know that it changes the result, but momentum can be a helpful thing!
>Matthew_Larocque: ABESTWX 5D AX +38 170
>Sal_Piro: Q D4 Q.. +24 366
>Matthew_Larocque: BEERSTW N8 WEBSTER +94 264
#note If I challenge *CASTED and play WASTE, I probably don't bingo. It would still be a 100 point swing keeping the X, though.
>Sal_Piro: GNO N1 NOG +31 397
>Matthew_Larocque: ADLNNOP F10 DON +24 288
#note Didn't know PONGAL. Maybe DONNA too, for turnover's sake.
>Sal_Piro: GIOU B10 GUI.O +20 417
>Matthew_Larocque: AELLNPU F1 PULLE. +21 309
>Sal_Piro: ?AINRST 1D Re.AINTS +80 497
#note He let WEBSTER go, but he said he wasn't willing to risk putting the S on it here.
>Matthew_Larocque: AAEFNRY M13 FEN +24 333
#note I wanted to keep O1 AY while blocking his better FOH spot. M12 AFAR sets up YEN nicely, though.
>Sal_Piro: FHILORV K10 FOH +23 520
>Matthew_Larocque: AARY O1 AY +34 367
#note I'm supposed to block VILER. I mistakenly added 44 to my score here. About time I ended up on the right end of faulty math!
>Sal_Piro: ILRV J1 .IRL +6 526
#note Sal must have had a long day, he said just couldn't think anymore and the game's won.
