>Siddharth_Murali_(A6): ABEERST 8D BEATERS +74 74
>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): NNOOSUU J5 ONU. +6 6
#note I did this to keep the board open, so he couldn't just parallel beaters and leave no threats. that being said he can't take out all the lanes of beaters, and NOUS is worse for bingoing next turn than NS. Quackle likes exchanging down to NOS
>Siddharth_Murali_(A6): BEFIORX 5E FIREB.X +76 150
>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): ENOSTUU K5 .U +11 17
#note hits quite a lot, and liked it a lot more than OUT/OX or TE(N)UOUS in the same spot to go hard on bingoes. I bingo 3/4 of the time! but I am playing sid
>Siddharth_Murali_(A6): EEEIOOT D8 .OOTEE +16 166
>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): EINOSTU I8 .OUTINES +60 77

>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): AAAKOTU 6B KATA +23 100
#note I win EXTREMELY rarely, but at least the board isn't awful for a comeback. the bottom is definitely at risk of being exhausted, but I wanted to keep the H1 spot open to open the top more, and I wanted to keep the L column open, especially cause it would be good to incite more parallels to get lanes. Q's choices of O(T)AKU on row 11 both help Sid exhaust the board. I feel pretty okay with this choice even though it doesn't bingo too often immediately, cause I keep the board in best shape for coming back. I was worried about the higher scoring kata on row 4 cause it opens big comebacks and blocks H1, although it does open a amrginal 3 row lane
>Siddharth_Murali_(A6): CIINRST H1 TRIC. +30 276
#note what a non-standard sid play! I would expect something like G8 TINCT haha
>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): AAGIOPU 14E APO +27 127
#note kind of a silly idea here, I remember wanting to keep the U so I could draw the Q and hit a big bingo, but with AGIQU I'm really not bingoing often or even for much. UPO bingoes more often, which I realized over the board, but it's only a tiny difference, I thought it would be better. I should still play UPO though, especially cause the following turn my bingo prospects will be higher
>Siddharth_Murali_(A6): CEINOSW J11 ENOW +34 310

>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): AADDLSW K9 DAW +26 231
#note ugh WADDL(E) c10 is 38, I should see that even though I was autopiloting at this point
>Siddharth_Murali_(A6): EEGLNOR N9 ERELONG +72 468
>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): ADDLMPS C10 DAMP +35 266
#note PADDLE! play the extra conso cause there are few vowels left

>Siddharth_Murali_(A6): AGHIJQT 15L JA.G +63 551
>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): ADLNRSZ L1 D.NS +14 307
#note the best endgames, 4 better than this, are A(D)Z and N(U)RL. after the former, he can play HIT/VIVAT, saving 2 QI spots. I will play L(IN)NS and save DR(AM) to go out, for an out in three. after NURL, he can't play HIT/VIVAT cause I can play ZINS/DAWS saving unblockable AD for a lot, so he plays (T)HY, and then I have two equivalent endgame plays: I1 AID, blocking the second QI spot, forcing him to play 7a QI for 4 fewer, then I can go out with ZINS/DAWS. the cooler endgame is to play O11 ED, setting up ZAS, which he can't block without getting himself Q stuck. All these endgames are the same spread! I played this to save LAZAR in case he missed it,
