>Orry_Swift: CFIU 8G FUCI +18 18
>Sokol: AEHKOQS J7 Q. +11 11
#note super interesting position to start the tournament off. what would you do? Most of my options gave back a ton compared to this, so despite this not hitting a bingo all that often, I decided it was OK.
>Orry_Swift: ADENNOV 9F VAN +15 33
#note I blocked DEVON(I)AN.
>Sokol: AEHKLOS F9 .OLK +13 24
#note I did not consider 9J SOAK, even though QI sort of set it up. I think that's a good play, but I don't really want to leave a lot of the game up to who draws an S bingo without an S of my own if I can help it. VAN doesn't imply he has the S, however. This is also fine.
>Orry_Swift: DEOY 12D YO.ED +30 63
>Sokol: AAEHILS K5 AHI +23 47
#note HA(O) E10 sets up my S. Perhaps that's the play. 13F SHEILA also scores 38.
>Orry_Swift: AENOPRW D5 WEAPONR. +69 132
#note HA(O) would have blocked this but it also might have led me into a spiral of one-point vowel racks
>Sokol: AELMRSU 13G MAULERS +86 133
>Orry_Swift: AAJV C2 JAVA +33 165
>Sokol: ?BILNOS L1 aLBINOS +85 218
>Orry_Swift: EGM E4 GEM +28 193
>Sokol: EEGIINW 2J WI.ING +36 254
#note oh wowee did I miss a beautiful play here, gotta get rid of my hatred of the G.
>Orry_Swift: EGO 1H EGO +17 210
>Sokol: EEHIINR C9 HIE +23 277
#note To get rid of the 14 row and with that a lot of volatility I should play 14B INHERE. If he ever plays down there it might open up a lot of stuff that I don't necessarily want to see open.
>Orry_Swift: DT 5B T...D +9 219
>Sokol: EEEINPR O2 .REENIE +27 304
>Orry_Swift: ENORSST 14A STONERS +73 292
>Sokol: ADFPRTU A7 UPDRAFT. +104 408
#note this also plays at N6. Orry put his hand over the board to make sure of that, since he could have played TENSORS and not given me 104 points.
>Orry_Swift: T I13 .T +2 294
>Sokol: BIIOOTU 2A BI.OU +28 436
#note I played this very quickly, not realizing that if he bingos and draws AX or EX, he's getting a ton of points!!! However, I still win in all scenarios. This might be OK for spread as well since I will often draw the X myself. He doesn't have it clearly.
>Orry_Swift: ?ACELRY 15H CALoYER +98 392
>Sokol: AEIOTTZ F3 TI.E +17 453
#note AZOTE plays at 3F. Oops. -3
