>Richard_Buck: ABCOV 8G VOCAB +24 24
#note Recorded as 30 in game.
>Niel_Gan: DEEFGPR J6 FR.G +16 16
#note F(A)G seems like too big a sacrifice if going the defensive route, but an R improves DEEP by enough to make it worth considering. I might've done PE(A)G if my leave was a little better.
>Richard_Buck: BGNU K8 .UNG +17 41
>Niel_Gan: ADEEHPT K3 EPHA +23 39
#note Could've played this faster. Gives a hot spot, but fine with re-overlaps.
>Richard_Buck: INO L4 ION +25 66
>Niel_Gan: ADEIPTT M2 TEPID +37 76
#note TAPED or APTED could be worth the points, but I'm fine with this.
>Richard_Buck: BEIN L9 BEIN +23 89
>Niel_Gan: ?AILRRT H2 ReTAIL.R +58 134
#note RuRALIT(E) a smidge better.

>Richard_Buck: IO N1 FORA +28 146
>Niel_Gan: ADEHJNS O4 SHADE +40 196
#note Didn't even consider O1 ANES, which sims best by a couple %. HDJ is so dependent on the next draw though, even if JOR as bailout is usually there. Wasn't 100% on SHAND/SHEND or I would've played one, probably SHEND.
>Richard_Buck: IO N7 IO +7 153
>Niel_Gan: EJLNRUX 2F J.. +26 222
#note O1 ER worth consideration even if the leave looks nasty. Hard for opponent to score after that if not bingoing, and plays often open something big for J or X. To be fair, I didn't think IO implied a Y.
>Richard_Buck: EY O1 YE +42 195
>Niel_Gan: DELNRUX N12 DEX +28 250
#note 4B RUNDL(ET) sims better but I don't need the extra variance. Something to be said for importance of leave though, with 8s lanes potentially open after something making (RETAILOR)S.
>Richard_Buck: AIRS O12 SAIR +33 228
>Niel_Gan: ?LNRUUW G8 .ULN +11 261
#note UNW(ET) is the play to find here. Exchanging down to R? and my play are pretty similar.
>Richard_Buck: AEINT H11 ENTIA +20 248
>Niel_Gan: ?DMMRUW G13 UMM +19 280
#note Took too long to find this.
>Richard_Buck: ILOTW 11B TOWLI.. +20 268
#note There is one bingo here, and it is not through the letter I looked through. Rookie mistake, though I probably still don't find it :P
>Niel_Gan: ?DERSTW C7 REST.WeD +76 356
>Niel_Gan: ?DERSTW -- -76 280
#note There is one bingo here, and it is not through the letter I played through. Rookie mistake, though I probably don't find it anyway :P
My backup play of ST(O)WED or T(O)WED are fine, though TR(O)WED better if I saw it.

>Richard_Buck: AZ I14 ZA +30 314

#note It's all or nothing, gotta play the S.
>Richard_Buck: AENSUV I10 USE +16 330
>Niel_Gan: GLR 5F G..L +8 351
#note On paper my spread at this point was +8, making this a do or die find for a tie if VAN 14 is played.
>Richard_Buck: ANV B8 VAN. +9 339
