#note super interesting spot as she's just fished 1 tile off. I could be a lot more defensive than this but I decided to keep things simple. This doesn't help her too much, but I really don't want something to come down at L8... Perhaps I play 6G (JO)L(E), but it seemed more likely she could get something at K7 and fork the board that way.

#note I didn't like this, but really tough spot to challenge. I should have gone with my gut. #knowledgelarge
>Joshua_Sokol: ?LSTUVX E8 V.XT +28 214
#note B8 seemed to give great vowel dumps back, didn't want to allow that.

#note seemed really counterintuitive to leave a 3x3 open last turn up over 100, and now to open one this turn up 100.

#note M11 F(R)IZ looks good here. Missed that due to tunnel vision. #findingsmall

#note I could ignore everything and play 4H (PAS)TIL I guess. Seems decent to keep the Z again. #findingsmall

#note greedy, didn't want to to (V)EALY and be stuck with the unwieldies for the rest of the game.
There are no playable bingos for Maddy here, but I might be giving letters back that she could use. #questionable
>Maddy_Kamen: NRRRTT -NRRRTT +0 286
#note funny sequence of plays
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEILRR 1D .ARIA +24 448
#note now there are 4 playable bingos for Maddy, all very high-scoring. A good reason to not have exchanged into the junky pool.
I could be better off playing I(Z)AR to block the bingos. (V)ARIER, (V)ARIA, (V)IRAL all have similar valuations here. Seemed weird to keep fewer vowels, but for some reason it seemed best in my mind. #questionable
>Maddy_Kamen: COY 13E CO.Y +18 304
>Joshua_Sokol: BEILNRT I3 ...L +17 465
#note probably best too play B(ABA) here to increase my chances of a bingo if she plays from NO
>Maddy_Kamen: NT 11J T.N. +7 311
>Joshua_Sokol: BEIINRT F13 .BI +11 476
#note missing (NO)RITE
She failed to draw her last tile here, so things were interesting
>Maddy_Kamen: DEGNRT 3H ...TED +18 329
>Joshua_Sokol: EINRT 2J .INER +19 495
#note still (NO)RITE ugh
