>Trevor_Sealy: EEILRRV 8B REVILER +78 78
>Joshua_Sokol: AEENOTT B6 TO.E +6 6
#note I feel like this is a worthy sacrifice over TOE 7G (which I'll admit I didn't quite consider), since my bingos will score 5 points more or so, but I guess there's something to be said about scoring more now and trying to prevent Trevor from scoring next turn
Quackle says my bingos barely score more after TO(R)E, and this is not worth it. Dunno. #questionable
>Trevor_Sealy: INOV C3 VINO +16 94
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEEFNT D4 FA +22 28
#note between this and FEE in the same spot, FA seemed better to bingo a decent amount more. There's also FAENA 7G but that doesn't bingo enough or score enough.
>Trevor_Sealy: AGNRY E5 GRA.NY +28 122
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEEENT F8 .EE +14 42
#note the downfall of last move. My position is getting worse by the move.
EE(L) is also OK at F6 to limit overlaps at 7G.
>Trevor_Sealy: CELOO H3 COOLE. +9 131
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEFJNT G5 JEF. +38 80
#note I played this instantly. Need to work on my nerves, though it was the right call, despite the E's becoming scarce.
>Trevor_Sealy: KMRUY A9 MURKY +23 154
>Joshua_Sokol: ADNNTTW D10 WANT +23 103
>Trevor_Sealy: IIIII -IIIII +0 154
>Joshua_Sokol: DHNSTUX 4H .XHUNT +32 135
#note I played this intentional phony pretty quickly too, having not considered DUT(C)H or DUN(C)H 3E to set the X up. This could have been really bad, but luckily Trevor bought it. DUTCH and DUNCH are similarly good if OXHUNT* is almost never challenged, but if I am very confident OXHUNT* will stay I think I should play it, since it allows me to get away with the S hook and challenge if he hooks it. This worked out, but I think that I should have played it safe here.
>Trevor_Sealy: AHO 5K HAO +26 180
#note Trevor kept making good plays this game, there was no letting up
>Joshua_Sokol: DIMNNSS 7G ..ND +9 144
#note I was mostly out of ideas this turn. but this looked fine. Could also do some other things, like 9E (NE)SS and try to catch him on a more closed board, but I didn't like my chances there.
>Trevor_Sealy: AA B12 AA +13 193
>Joshua_Sokol: IMNPQSS N2 QIS +41 185
#note still phony, felt I should go for it though, since the chances of him s-hooking were low at this point
>Trevor_Sealy: ACR 8J ARC +11 204
>Joshua_Sokol: DMNPRSZ M3 S..MP +28 213
#note tying the game up finally, but with both blanks unseen. Eek.
>Trevor_Sealy: ?DEEILT K8 .ETItLED +66 270
>Joshua_Sokol: DEINORZ 11G IRON.ZED +68 281
#note playing the bingo here wasn't at all a given. Z(E)NDO was also a consideration, but with two S's out, I felt my chances were quite poor in comparison to IRONIZED, which at least keeps more scoring spots open. However, I missed Z(E)ROED 14J, which definitely takes the cake here. Really poor playfinding, as I did everything necessary to find the right play and still missed it. #findingmedium
>Trevor_Sealy: OW J14 WO +29 299
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEGIIO 15H GO..IE +27 308
#note I thought I was dead, I didn't see IO(t)A on my timie and thought he had just given me a chance to stay in the game with WO. IO(t)A is by far best. I was playing well until IRONIZED. #findinglarge
>Trevor_Sealy: DIP O1 DIP +34 333
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEGILU 12J U.A +28 336
#note I have to empty the bag here, the U is just too terrible and I want to maximize my chances at getting an S or blank.
>Trevor_Sealy: ?BISSTU N8 BUd.ISTS +79 412
>Trevor_Sealy: ?BISSTU -- -79 333
#note I was just waiting, hoping he would screw up somehow, though it was gonna be tough to win regardless. When he started to put this down, I skipped a breath. I hadn't looked if he had a bingo on this rack, since I figured if he did he would miss it, but then he starts to lay this down without having yet circled the blank, and I was like "whoa is he actually gonna play BUNDISTS here?". Unfortunately for both of us, Trevor had another idea. Phew.
>Joshua_Sokol: ABEGILT 14M BIT +14 350
#note He's probably never playing BUNDISTS now, but I should block since I can afford to now. BIT 10M is just as good, setting up AGLE(T). Somehow missed that too.
>Trevor_Sealy: ?BISSTU 3F BI.eS +22 355
#note just as good as playing for 27 at O12.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEGL 2D EGAL +15 365
>Joshua_Sokol: (STU) +6 371
#note completely stole this game, I should have done better on the IRONIZED turn and the turn thereafter, but I let nerves settle in.
