>Jason: BGHINWY 8G WHY +24 24
#note JL: I thought I was making up WHINGY
>Mack: ANOSSTV J6 VAS +27 27
#note MM: Looks good -- NOVAS higher on static but gives back way more.
>Jason: BEGILNR 7I B.LING +23 47
#note JL: This is bad because this takes an S.
>Mack: AENORST 9I SANTERO +75 102
#note JL: My opponent didn't think of it either.
MM: Yeah, I was quite sure that rack was just ABLINGS. Oof. Massive mistake. Someone needs to start studying again...
>Jason: EEINORU O8 O.RIE +18 65
>Mack: DEELRST G8 .RESTLED +64 166
>Jason: ?AEGNTU 13B GAUNt.ET +68 133
#note JL: Burned a lot of time here but there are only 68 point bingos to be had.
>Mack: ADEIKOU 15D KID.O +48 214
>Jason: AACCEIR 6H CA.E +20 153
#note JL: This lets me reopen the top part of the board later.
>Mack: AAEJRUZ B11 JU.A +24 238
#note MM: There are other options I considered here, like AZURE at 12I or 14I, but I liked this to start playing some defense and set up ZA for 44 next turn. Sim likes AJUGA which I'm never doing, and 14I AZURE slightly ahead of JUGA, which I can believe more. It scores 12 more, and I'm not worried about AZURES since if Jason spends the case S for 40 points instead of a bingo that's actually a good outcome for me, and it gives me a huge scoring boost if I pull it. AERZ is much better than AJ though, especially with the ZA setup that hardly ever gets blocked, so I think I stil prefer JUGA.
>Jason: ACIOORW 11B .OWAR. +32 185
#note JL: Maybe F10 WO or F9 OW instead.
>Mack: AEEPRRZ 12G .RAPEZE +43 281
#note MM: This has to be better than ZA to dig further into the bag, EEPRR is going nowhere on this board.
>Jason: CHIIMOX 5K COMIX +42 227
>Mack: ?AFIPRT E5 AFTeRP.I. +76 357
#note JL: Sick find here by Mack
MM: Thanks! I saw and played this basically instantly, which in retrospect was probably a strategical error as waiting ~30 seconds may have induced Jason to challenge more often. He mentioned after he may have more strongly considered challenging if I didn't seem so excited to play it (which I was as I've been close to this word many many times and it finaly fit here). An important lesson going forward!
>Jason: BEGHILV 8A HELV. +42 269
>Mack: EEFMQST 4L METE +38 395
>Jason: BGIINOT H1 BIOTI. +33 302
>Mack: DFNOQSU 2F QU.N +33 428
#note MM: Chosen over QUID to preserve FED(EX) with an E draw.
>Jason: AEGLNOU K11 N. +4 306
#note JL: Not winning but this bingos out with an I draw.
>Mack: DDFINOS O1 IND.. +39 467
#note MM: Saw that I can't stop Jason from bingoing out if I draw the Y, so no reason not to just take the points.
>Jason: AEGILOU 14I EULOGIA +73 379
>Jason: (DFOSY) +24 403
