>Joshua_Sokol: ABGOPUY E9 BAYOU +28 96
#note BUOYAG(E) looks like a better version of this, shedding the G as well, creating no perpetual 7 lanes like the one BAYOU creates on column D, but also creates unnecessary counterplay when further analyzed. Seems close, but best to not create any easy spots to play in I guess
>Josh_Greenway: J 12D J. +18 33
>Joshua_Sokol: GLNOPST 13B GLO.T +21 117
#note LO(U)P gives me the best bingo chances next turn, and although the extra consonant isn't great, I'm not too worried about conso trouble on this board. He could definitely put me in a tough spot with a row 14 underlap, but more often than not it benefits my spread. Putting the G out in relative perpetuity is not great either, since he could fork, or succeed in getting there with an IN(G) bingo, but I like this more long-term. PO(U)T is also an option to set up my S, and I'm really not sure where his range is at. Interesting spot. LO(U)P also gives me a chance at somoething like GITS or GATS or TOGS at 14B to score and not give back any lanes. #questionable
>Josh_Greenway: ORW I6 ROW +15 48
>Joshua_Sokol: HNPSSST 5I PHT +25 142
#note not expecting this, but I forgot about PSST!!! That's a comparable option, could even be better. Keeping SSS isn't great, but I can use them to score/defend certain boards, so it's not terrible. PHT leads to a more closed board as well. Wish I would have seen PSST, probably would have played it for the lolz. #questionable
>Josh_Greenway: AHN J8 NAH +20 68
>Joshua_Sokol: GNSSSXY 12G S.XY +14 156
#note this seemed like the right theme to go with, but XYS(T)S (I only considered XYST I think) is just too powerful I think. GNS is a whole lot better than GNSS even taking defense into account. I should want to get rid of these consos a bit more. #findingsmall
>Josh_Greenway: AOV 4K AVO +14 82
>Joshua_Sokol: ?GIINSS N1 wISSING +75 231
#note well that was a draw
among tiles to put in a 3x3, the W seemed like the least dangerous. I did think I could get a challenge out of this. I must say I preferred opening a 3x3 to putting the G at N8, but it was perhaps slightly unwise? hISSING is also up there since it gives fewer scoring plays on row 1 I guess? It gives almost double the 3x3 potential which is albeit still minuscule. #questionable
>Josh_Greenway: IMOT O7 OMIT +21 103
#note "no challenge"
>Joshua_Sokol: CIOORTW B10 COR.I +28 259
#note There were three different options here, 14A COOT which is the most aggresive, COR(G)I which was aggressive but not over-the-top, and WOO K9, which is a more conservative approach. That's it. I don't have any analysis, just #facts.
>Josh_Greenway: AET K9 TEA +13 116
#note #playsthatlookdubious
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEOOTW L11 WOO +17 276
#note I now began to realize how many damn E's were unseen. This would be a wet dream for some.
I missed 6I (R)ATOO(N) which is a fantastic way to close the 3 row and further cripple Josh's options. WOOED L11 was a bit much for me, since after wISSING I'm basically just asking to get 3x3ed on. #findingsmall
>Josh_Greenway: DEZ 14J ZED +41 157
>Joshua_Sokol: AAADEKT M13 KAE +40 316
#note My point here was to block column N now, since I had most available tickets to playing on row 15 next turn. He could still bingo from CORGIS which would be sad, so maybe I play KATA or TAKA now.
>Josh_Greenway: CU 15M .CU +15 172
>Joshua_Sokol: AADEFTU 15H DEAF +40 356
#note I supposed he still could have had any number of 110-point bingos at N9 after KAE
The U is now more valuable than the E, by a pretty significant margin, given that the Q is lingering and there are still 7 E's left.
>Josh_Greenway: AEN F8 NA.E +16 188
>Joshua_Sokol: ADMNRTU D4 TUNDRA +21 377
#note Yeah MUDRA N9 was just a miss, that's some nice equity there. #findingsmall
>Josh_Greenway: ?EFGILN 3E FLINGEr +65 253
#note I held this for an incredibly long time. #knowledgesad
>Joshua_Sokol: EEEMQRT 2B REMEET +31 408
#note this looked great, with decent chances of scoring 30+ with the Q next turn, although he will go out first usually.
E3 (F)EME is champ's choice, but that doesn't consider Josh's endgame prowess to take advantage of that play. REMEET looks best.
>Josh_Greenway: BEILNPU A14 PI +16 269
#note I saw N9 PULI, his best play, but I can't blame him for wanting to limit the Q damage
>Joshua_Sokol: EIQS N9 QI +28 436
>Josh_Greenway: BELNU 1A NEB +21 290
