>Juraj_Pivovarov: EHIK 8G HIKE +22 22
>Chris_Cheng: EEGIMRT K7 GRIME +28 28
>Juraj_Pivovarov: AINV 9F VINA +24 46
>Chris_Cheng: DEFORTU 7H FOR.ED +30 58
#note Missed L9 TOFU which is quite a bit better. Considered L11 FOU but thought 17 points was far too much to give up. Anyways still a miss - FOR(G)ED is simming well among other plays but TOFU ahead by a wide margin
>Juraj_Pivovarov: ABEERT M7 .EBATER +26 72
>Chris_Cheng: EPTTTUV -TTUV +0 58
#note Thought twice about playing V(E)EP, who knows how that would have turned out... L2 PUTTE(E) is probably worth playing, if I knew it
>Juraj_Pivovarov: ADY N8 DAY +35 107
>Chris_Cheng: AEINOPT O9 PEON +20 78
#note Feared an S or H play hooking ED - I think it's reasonable to block it
>Juraj_Pivovarov: BOOR L12 BOOR +24 131
>Chris_Cheng: AAEIPTY 15H APIA.Y +33 111
#note PI(R)AYA avoids creating the X spot but APIA(R)Y opens the board more, and it's pretty closed now... but too early to gamble that much, probably
>Juraj_Pivovarov: Q J14 Q. +31 162
>Chris_Cheng: ?CENRST 14B CiSTERN +72 183
>Juraj_Pivovarov: CMO J10 MOC +27 189
>Chris_Cheng: AEFIJST D12 JE.T +24 207
#note I really feel like JE(S)T closing the board is better for me, especially after MOC which signals a stronger rack leave - plus I like my skills on a closed board
>Juraj_Pivovarov: ILW L4 WIL. +14 203
>Chris_Cheng: AFHILSU K3 FAH +33 240
#note Just what I wanted

>Juraj_Pivovarov: ETV M3 VET +24 227
>Chris_Cheng: EIILSUX 13C L.U +10 250
#note Of course XI looks best here, but I don't want to see responses from I1 like LOG or RAG or RAD that take hooks and create an 8 line in the triple - and can't block both. L(E)U stops plays from E10 like ADO or AGO or ONO that would open a new 7s lane and be tough to block as well. I like my play, that said it could be argued that F12 LI(E)U is a better version of this as it accomplishes the same goals and also gets rid of an I. 6 less points though

(I saw I was holding (PEON)IES too)!)
>Juraj_Pivovarov: GU 3M .UG +7 234
>Chris_Cheng: EIIISXZ O1 ZI. +39 289
#note Drawing the Z was good fortune. May have had to succumb and play XI if I hadn't.
>Juraj_Pivovarov: GLO 3H GOL. +9 243
#note Saw that GLO(UT) could have been played - but Juraj is probably right to open as much as possible
>Chris_Cheng: DEEISWX N13 EX +21 310
#note I missed the X drop...?
>Juraj_Pivovarov: IIU -IIU +0 243
#note So fortunate for me that Juraj was forced to exchange
>Chris_Cheng: DEIORSW 4E DOWIE +16 326
#note Saint told me after the game I missed WEIRDOS... I kept seeing DOWRIES and ROWDIES, was unsure about WORDIES albeit it didn't play... couldn't find the 4th anagram. Darn. Missed plays like this is why my spread is so low

At least DOWIE cuts the opponent bingo % to below 10.


>Juraj_Pivovarov: ?ADINST E1 DAN.IeST +68 311
>Chris_Cheng: AENORST 1E .RONES +21 347
>Juraj_Pivovarov: AILNSUU 8A UNLI. +18 329
>Chris_Cheng: AT 12B TA. +12 359
#note LOL - neither of us saw it
>Chris_Cheng: (ASU) +6 365
