#note I saw 7H AZOTIC (T) for 32 points. In the moment, I had a flash of doubt whether it was good, so I played the safer AZO at B7 for 27 points. I'm not sure why that happened. Of note, 7H AZOTIC is 5 points better than 9H AZOTIC because of defensive considerations. Specifically, the 7H placement prevents overlapping plays with ZA on the 10 line.

#note Missed L2 PITTANCE for 80 points. There wasn't much about these letters that screamed bingo, and H1 PINCER for 39 points looked like a solid play, which made it hard for me to keep searching. This is where being studied up really helps.

>ken_Rubin: DGHTTUY 7L THUG +31 171
#note This was a cool play. Eric held me briefly on KURUSH but let it go. He said it looked too bold for me to have made up, especially with the score relatively tight. That was a good determination by him.

#note Missed 1E DRYPOINT for 65 points. I wasn't even really searching for a binog with these tiles. Like PITTANCE, I think this is one you need to have studied to see it quickly. Anyway, it's clear I deserve to lose this game, missing two bingos like this.

>ken_Rubin: DIMOORT 15G TOROID +34 236
#note Held briefly by Eric (he said he always holds when there is a parallel play that involves a blank--not because he didn't know TOROID).
>Eric_Goldstein: Q G13 Q.. +22 356
>ken_Rubin: EMOOORS 4C .OOM +12 248
#note E8 LOTO (EMOORS) for 13 points is another good option.
