#player2 Ryan_Burgess Ryan Burgess
>Chris_Cheng: AIOTUYZ 8G YOU +12 12
#note This is a big point sacrifice, but AIO is -13 and AITZ is +5 so it is kind of close actually. YUTZ better by a small margin, probably.
>Ryan_Burgess: EFGU I7 F.GUE +15 15
>Chris_Cheng: ?AGIOTZ H11 AZOTe +71 83
#note Any of the other H11 Z plays are better, I kept IG seeing there were 6 Ns to be drawn, but even with that reasoning, AZOTh > AZOTe for defensive reasons.
>Ryan_Burgess: EIY 14F YE.I +15 30
>Chris_Cheng: ADGIINO 9A GONIDIA +67 150
#note Don't really want to open the top of the board for just 1 extra point... the question is GONIDIA from 7A or from 9A... any difference between them is small
>Ryan_Burgess: FO 10A OF +29 59
>Chris_Cheng: BIMNOSU E2 MISBOUN. +76 226
#note 4 more point available with D5 NIOB(I)UMS

Was not even 100% sure of MISBOUND - huge upside if it is challenged and stays on the board though, so felt playing it was worth the slight risk.
>Ryan_Burgess: ACDELRT - +0 59
#note challenge
>Chris_Cheng: AEIIKPV J4 KIVA +24 250
#note Darn, D1 KEPI - gotta revisit the 4s.
>Ryan_Burgess: ACDELRT 3B ART.CLED +78 137
>Chris_Cheng: EIILPPS 4J .IP +18 268
#note H1 PE(E)P is safer, so is 2H PIP. Up by less I think I would play one of those instead.
>Ryan_Burgess: BW 6D B.W +16 153
>Chris_Cheng: EEILPSV H1 VE.P +36 304
#note PE(E)VE is probably better. Although the E helps the rack leave considerably, there are a bunch unseen. LI(E)VE could also be in the conversation too. Either way it is close.
>Ryan_Burgess: ?AEENTT K7 NEATEsT +68 221
#note Try and find the best (and second best) play in this position. Wow!

In the game, I saw Ryan had 1H (V)ENdETTA available... did not even think for a second that there was something even better.
>Chris_Cheng: AEIILQS M2 QIS +34 338
>Ryan_Burgess: OW L13 OW +7 228
>Chris_Cheng: EE 5E .EE +10 348
#note Missed recording leave, rack was probably 6 vowels 1 consonant.
>Ryan_Burgess: AT 2M .AT +24 252
>Chris_Cheng: ADEEGIL 8K .DILE +24 372
#note There are many better plays here. Though this does eliminate the triple triple. Probably not as bad as it might seem.
>Ryan_Burgess: X 13H .X +34 286
>Chris_Cheng: ACEEGLR 15K CLEAR +31 403
#note Suboptimal
>Ryan_Burgess: LR B2 L.R +6 292
>Chris_Cheng: EGHHMRU 12J U.HER +34 437
>Ryan_Burgess: AIO D1 IO.A +18 310
>Chris_Cheng: GHJMNNR O7 H.RM +9 446
#note I blocked a couple of bingoes I saw but it probably isn't worth doing. Did so only knowing I had K3 J(I)N and M7 J(I)G or J(I)N or J(I)NN.
>Ryan_Burgess: ADENORS A6 DRA..N +24 334
>Chris_Cheng: GJNNST M7 J.NN +20 466
#note Mistracked and had Ryan with OOS instead of EOS. Was saving G13 G(E)T and if it was blocked, S drop at 5H.
>Ryan_Burgess: EOS 15D OSE +9 343
>Ryan_Burgess: (GST) +8 351
