>Marie_Puma: EEEPPTU - +0 0
#note Not actual rack. Marie exchanged 5.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAEINTW 8H AW +10 10
#note Since Marie's rack is basically random, I might as well maximize bingo %. This or AWA are fine.
>Marie_Puma: INX 9F NIX +20 20
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEINOT F5 ANTI.ODE +63 73
#note Couple points that I sacrificed, but this gives back less overall than the bingoes thru the I. And considering not all ANTI- words take an S, I might as well basically have the ANTINODES hook to myself because I suspected she didn't know ANTINODE takes an S.
>Marie_Puma: DEGIORT 12B GOIT.RED +72 92
#note This is her best play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEIKUVW 11H WIVED +32 105
#note This time I took the 10 extra points over 5E WAUK seeing there's nothing super good to leave here. This is best.
>Marie_Puma: DQU C10 QU.D +28 120
>Samuel_Kaplan: BEIKNRU L8 KIN.ER +32 137
#note REBUKING got blocked. This play is meh. Scores well but doesn't keep great.
>Marie_Puma: HOY E3 HOY +28 148
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEIOTU D1 BOUT +27 164
#note Dang it ABOITEAU got blocked. It would have been nice to play a 6 vowel 8. This is 4th.
>Marie_Puma: GNOS 1D .ONGS +24 172
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAEINPU 8L .APA +30 194
#note KAPU in the same spot. Right idea, wrong execution. 3rd
>Marie_Puma: IZ N6 ZI. +34 206
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGINSTU J3 GUNITES +66 260
#note Easy enough.
>Marie_Puma: FIJ 4I F.JI +28 234
>Samuel_Kaplan: CELRSTT M1 CREST +29 289
#note Going for the blanks
>Marie_Puma: ELNOSUV 14A UNSOLVE +101 335
>Marie_Puma: ELNOSUV -- -101 234
#note I ain't gonna allow that.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAEEHLT E10 HA.E +25 314
#note I know Marie has the S now so I might as well work to shut the bottom of the board down. Without this knowledge, I would have played ACHE 1L which I had lined up on my rack before Marie played UNSOLVE*. Best play either way is O1 ALTHEA.
>Marie_Puma: ELNOSUV 14F UNLOVES +82 316
>Marie_Puma: ELNOSUV -- -82 234
#note Nothing in ELNOSUV so easy challenge once again.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AELLLRT 1K LA.ER +24 338
#note Why is H11 WELL top choice? She has the S!
>Marie_Puma: ELNOSUV 14H LOVES +28 262
>Samuel_Kaplan: AABELLT 15E TELA +18 356
#note Now it's gonna be really hard for Marie to win.
>Marie_Puma: OR 7H RO. +20 282
>Samuel_Kaplan: AABEELO 5H LE.O +31 387
#note Just keep outrunning with best plays.
>Marie_Puma: CINU O1 .UNIC +8 290
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AABEMR B12 .AMB +21 408
#note Did not know AMBARI. I will save my blank for the endgame either way.
>Marie_Puma: ?FMPY 13K F.uMP +27 317
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AER O11 cA.ER +21 429
#note Many plays here are fine.

After Marie tried UNSOLVE* and UNLOVES*, it was easy to win the game by just shutting the bottom down.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (Y) +8 437
