>Smylie: CDENNQS -DNQ +0 113
#note I liked CENS with the T open, but DENS does well with the G column too. DENS bingoes a solid amount more, this is an error

>Smylie: ?AGQRRS 5M Q. +11 166
#note Q likes GRIG, saying I average around 70 next turn. I considered GRIG but not very seriously - QI bingoes over 70% but averages the same as GRIG, I guess between bingoes and B column plays I score a lot. This looks like another mistake

#note saw fARRAG(O)S but wasn't sure of it, and BRAG looks better anyways.

>Smylie: KNOSTUZ 4I Z.UK +34 328
#note Saw ZOOKS but I prefer this - lots of stuff in the pool can hit the Z and just extend her tempo advantage. ZOUK holds the case S and I felt I could get some K column setups and NOST would come in handy with the vowel heavy pool, and hitting some G column bingoes
>Robin_Pollock_Daniel: ADEOOUW 12K OUD +21 348
>Smylie: CDNOSTT K2 TO.T +14 342
#note I think this is worth it - she will sacrifice a lot more than I do to block the setup, and I keep the D for the G column
>Robin_Pollock_Daniel: AAAEEOW 14A .WA +24 372
>Smylie: CDENSTY N13 .YE +24 366
#note I didn't love ENCYST here - leaves 3 in the bag, goes up 11, and she can dunk two tiles in a lot of places and retake the lead - VAU O1, RYE N13, etc. I liked RYE cause it keeps the scoring pressure on, holds consonants to counter the super vowel heavy pool, and keeps STOUT of course, which she'll basically have ot waste a turn blocking. I keep a few bingo options with RYE as well, SCENTED and SCANTED. There is something to be said for ICY here, just go all in on the bingo immediately, but I preferred keeping many options open for victory
>Robin_Pollock_Daniel: AABEEOU L1 BA +9 381
>Smylie: CDENSTY D9 C...Y +12 378
#note bad miss of ICY here, I am needlessly blocking NOVA here.
>Robin_Pollock_Daniel: AEEIIOU 6L OI. +14 395
>Smylie: DDEINST 14M D.. +12 390
#note This is a big mistake - I only actually win optimally with the A draw here. After DAD, I lose immediately to unweave/inweave, and then quite a few other draws give her a fairly easy endgame. TINED looks like my best shot, which loses with the N draw but wins with all others (there is a tie available for her if I draw the W, but it's very hard to see over the board). I rushed this pre endgame and didn't permute the longer plays so went with this fishing play that might induce some errors. Had I thought about it more, I would have realized how many vowel heavy blocks she had on the G column
