>JD: ACELRUW 8G CURLEW +30 30
#note played fast - big priority against Noah to get fast moves in when possible!
>Noah_Slatkoff: DENRRUX K7 R.DUX +26 26
>JD: AADKMOS J10 MAKO +35 65
#note I chickened out of KALAM here. MAKO isn't too much worse.
>Noah_Slatkoff: AELNPRZ 13I Z.NAL +48 74
>JD: ADEESTV H12 VADE +51 116
>Noah_Slatkoff: AENOPRS M5 PERSONA +73 147
#note PERSONAE is 10 more
>JD: ADEEEST N9 EE +10 126
#note Q wants me to make plays like AEDES 14F or TEADES 14E, which I don't love. Those plays sim well because the blanks are both unseen, which encourages turnover, but they create an anemic board where Noah will have a tempo on me. I would rather be more aggressive and create a threat that might force Noah into reacting (or overreacting).
>Noah_Slatkoff: AEINQRT H3 ANTIQ.ER +68 215
#note he slowrolled me a bit! :P
>JD: ADESTTU O9 STATUED +83 209
>Noah_Slatkoff: ?EEEEIN 14F EI.E +18 233
>JD: ACFHOSW N2 CAHOW +59 268
>JD: EFGOPSY (challenge) +5 273
>Noah_Slatkoff: ?BEELNV 3D ENVi.BLE +65 298
#note again, he found this fast!
>JD: EFGOPSY 4A FOGEY +41 314
#note still surviving even with his 3 bingos in 4 turns
>Noah_Slatkoff: AIIJNSU A4 .UJIS +45 343
>JD: ?IILOPS 2B LIPO +23 337
#note most important move of the game. I played LIPO here to set up another lane on row 1 that I can draw into even if Noah makes a blocking play on the bottom-left quadrant.
>Noah_Slatkoff: AGIINOR 15A ORIGIN +29 372
#note great play, blocking the E as a lane and also column B bingos. Exposing the G at 15D isn't a huge deal with only one N unseen.
>JD: ?ABIOST 1E BASTIOn +83 420
#note for the second game in a row, a late blank draw lets me off the hook. whew!
>Noah_Slatkoff: ADFIITY O3 YID +25 397
#note nice - EDIFY at 15H is slightly better.
>JD: GHMNORT 13A THRONG +24 444
>JD: UNKNOWN (challenge) +5 449
#note I meant to play MONTH here, and then got confused under time pressure.
>Noah_Slatkoff: AFIT B7 FIAT +16 413
#note a pretty flawless game by Noah, unlucky for him that I pulled the final blank and got to set it up!
>Noah_Slatkoff: (M) +6 419
