#note rough turn. Caesar's gonna score well stacking either side of DEFORM next turn and I can't do much to address. Caesar plays me tough in the trenches too. Guess it's time to open.

N(T)H felt dumb. H(AND)LING is the play if I'm certain that HANDLINGS is valid (it is)
>caesar: AHOR E2 HORA +29 87
>matt: CDKLLNS B10 CL.NK +34 90
#note bailed out
>caesar: OX A14 OX +33 120
>matt: AADDGLS F1 GALA +21 111
#note Should be F3 GAD
>caesar: IMP 1F .IMP +27 147
>matt: ?ADDQST 2I ADD +13 124
#note god, what a weird turn. (I)DS for 18? SQuAD/GIMPS for 44? Exchange down to ?AST or something? idk

This felt solid -- QST? drawing into a pool that's 50% vowels and contains all four U's feels good; AQUAS/EQUES in play next turn if it all goes right
>caesar: EILOR 1K OILER +21 168
>matt: ?GJQSTV -GJV +0 124
#note QST? drawing into a pool that's 50% vowels and contains all four U's feels good; AQUAS/EQUES in play next turn if it all goes right

(probably throw the Q back here? I'd tilt so hard if I threw it back and drew UU though)

>caesar: EEOS C11 O.EES +25 218
#note whoa
>matt: ?ASSTTT N1 .TATiSTS +68 224
#note oops

ETATISM but not ETATIST*

(S)TATiSTS is the only valid playable bingo

>caesar: UV 3M V.U +12 230
>matt: EINRSUZ O8 INURE +24 248
#note this feels best for long-term control; (S)IZERS feels too aggressive even though it's 48. block the spot, cash the S and Z later, and hang on to win. that's the MO, at least
>caesar: LUV 4J LUV +16 246
#note it is easy to win games of scrabble when your opponent has to play VAU and then LUV on consecutive turns
>matt: BEEGNSZ F12 SEZ +42 290
#note or ZENS? or ZEB(U)? no, probably this. that unseen pool is wacky and he probably can't manufacture wins with most of the combinations there. on the off chance he does bingo now, his post-bingo draw is gonna be so bad that I'll probably win.
>caesar: ?ABIORT 12H TABORIn. +70 316
#note Caesar gives me a fantastic puzzle. I think there is one play here that wins 100% of games; nothing else wins 100%. What should I play?
