#note Not sure what to do here. My gut told me to play this because it's very hard for Bob to bingo ending in A, and even if he does I probably get a good snapback. I can also follow him around the board if he tries opening and block things for more than his openings since he has high scoring tiles. I think this is best based on gut instinct because the sim has the wrong idea of the types of moves I am making (it sims 58% vs 64%) but it is possible that Bob is also supposed to make plays like OE that cook FE.

>Matthew_O'Connor: AINRVWX 12I VINA +22 320
#note This is the best equtiy play anyways, not that I would ever do anything else

>Matthew_O'Connor: EMRTUWX 13J X. +19 339
#note Again here... TWIN sims best but I don't think I can really do that given that he has two lanes on opposite sides of the board after that. With this play I'm in a similar situation as I was when I played FE but I'm up even more and I have plays like MINT that seal off the top or even TWIN later if I feel like I can outrun him

TL;dr going after the lane that allows bingos ending in S is never a massive blunder
>Bob_Linn: U G10 .U +2 282
>Matthew_O'Connor: BEMRTUW 12D BRUT +15 354
#note Quackle agrees this time -- This lane is by far the riskiest with the Z unseen
>Bob_Linn: ?EEFINR 13A FINEERs +79 361
>Matthew_O'Connor: AEEMOWZ A13 .EZ +45 399
#note We don't fall into the trap of ZOWIE. This wins 100% because my next play will be good. His biggest threats all leave me with MEOW.
>Bob_Linn: EELLOPT B12 P.LE +27 388
>Matthew_O'Connor: AEMORSW H1 AM..O +27 426
#note This is actually not a good play because I am W stuck if bob plays ORE.
