>Mack: EGIMNOV 9G OM +19 19
#note I wasn't sure if MOVING took an S (it doesn't), so didn't want to play MOVING at 7H or 9H. OM is good in that it gives less back, but EGINV doesn't seem good enough to justify the point and turnover sacrifice assuming I know MOVINGS* is bad. #knowledgesmall

#note I tunneled in on using the H column and didn't adequately consider J2 ZEN, which keeps a better leave and doesn't give back a bingo lane. Column H isn't too dangerous with the given pool. #strategysmall #zenstillshouldntbeawordlarge

#note I hated this, but what else? Do I play 1F QUAI? It seemed like too much to give up in terms of equity and turnover (which is important here for the blank and S), especially since Matt can still bingo from the B or above or hooking JEWS. Plus, if he bingos after QUAI, CILR is pretty unlikely to materialize into a counterbingo or a big scoring play. At least with IC after SQUIRL, I felt if he bingoed I'd have decent chances to come back with a bingo or outrunning play of my own. Quackle agrees.
>Matt: ACGINT 13J ACTING +20 268
>Mack: BCEEIST A1 E.ICT +39 326
#note Triple-triples are extremely unlikely, so I decided the extra 12 points of EVICT over BEGET increased my outrunning chances enough to be worth conceding a few losses to random 3*3s. BEGET does still block high-scoring -ING bingos to the G, though, which I don't necessarily outrun after EVICT. It's close, but I still prefer EVICT - I think the deciding factor may be the 4 Is left in the pool, and I really don't want to get into I trouble after BEGET as it'll really stifle my outrunning or counterbingoing chances if Matt bingos.
>Matt: AHIR 7H HAIR +22 290
>Mack: ABEEIST 11H BEASTIE +77 403
#note Clearly correct over L4 to block 3*3s.
