>Barbara_Epstein: IMOST 8D MOIST +20 20
>Patrick_Beatrez: AAEEGIN D4 ENIG.A +18 18
#note AGENESIA, ugh. I only saw ALIENAGE and didn't think more of it.
>Barbara_Epstein: AHLU 9G HAUL +23 43
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?AEFUWY 10F YAW +29 47
>Barbara_Epstein: Q 6C Q. +11 54
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?CCEFTU J8 C.EFT +12 59
#note Just dropping 9C C(A)F scores 4 more and keeps better.
>Barbara_Epstein: IU 12J .UI +6 60
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?CISTUW G8 ...W +10 69
#note 7B WI(G) scores 20 but gives back the T hook with 3 more unseen. 9C C(A)W for 16 looks better than G8 (SHA)W for 10.
>Barbara_Epstein: AD E4 DA +13 73
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?CIRSTU M7 CITRUSy +78 147
#note 12A CURITES scores 83 but gives back some decent bingo lines when she's been fishing for the last 3 turns. I like CITRUSy over here for 78.
>Barbara_Epstein: NPR 8L P.RN +27 100
>Patrick_Beatrez: ABEIJOT - +0 147
#note And I challenge this like an idiot. I didn't recognize it at all, but it's not a crazy play and I can play 11E JO(W) for 31 and go up by 78.
>Barbara_Epstein: O E3 O.. +4 104
>Patrick_Beatrez: ABEIJOT 11E JA. +31 178
#note Keeping the O to re-overlap the J.
>Barbara_Epstein: B 9C B. +7 111
>Patrick_Beatrez: BDEIOTZ C2 BIZ +41 219
#note Of course the second straight 1-tile fish blocks ZIBET for over 70.
>Barbara_Epstein: AEINRRS 2E SIERRAN +66 177
>Patrick_Beatrez: DEEFNOT 1G FEOD +40 259
#note There's a ton of Es left but still 5 Os, so not quite a big enough disparity to consider playing FEED instead of FEOD.
>Barbara_Epstein: KOY 12D YOK +39 216
>Patrick_Beatrez: DEEINNT 3G NEED +26 285
#note G8 (SHAW)ED is also 26 and may not be the worst idea ever. I liked getting rid of the Es with 6 more unseen.
>Barbara_Epstein: EEGILRT O6 GE.TLIER +60 276
#note Not a word, I didn't even hold it and I've let this one go before. It has a valid word in it which makes that even worse.
>Patrick_Beatrez: AAIMNOT B9 ANIMATO +77 362
>Barbara_Epstein: AELNP A11 PANEL +43 319
>Patrick_Beatrez: DGLOUVV 13A ..V +12 374
#note And I draw absolute garbage and there's not enough tiles left to exchange now. Quackle likes 4J OLD the best, I guess to set up another spot to dump a V with (L)UV.
>Barbara_Epstein: EEIRSTX A5 EXITS +42 361
>Barbara_Epstein: EEIRSTX -- -42 319
#note Very glad she didn't drop 11L X(U) or F5 EX here, I would've been in a terrible spot. I held this play for a while to see if I can win the endgame, then challenged. After EXITS, I had DGHLOUV and she would have EEOOR?. I didn't see anything better than 2A GH(I) to set up VUG/VOG, but she can block by dropping a blank A at 2B and then she'll be able to go out before I could. I was 99% sure that ABA only took a front B, but I made sure to check the endgame before putting the game on the line. I challenge it off, and she shows the provisional tiles EOO?.
>Patrick_Beatrez: DGHLOUV C9 .UG +14 388
#note Given that I know her rack now, 15A (LO)UGH looks to win 100% even if I don't draw the blank. My play of (B)UG is only 80%, and 4J OUD was 97%. I didn't even really consider 4J OUD or OLD since I thought I needed to hold onto my vowels, and I don't need to block stuff like I4 SOOTIER since I know her rack.
>Barbara_Epstein: EEIRSTX N13 EX +20 339
#note F5 EX for 28 is better for spread and wins 4/36 according to quackle.
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?DHLOOV 4J OVOLi +20 408
#note 4J OVa is best to set up my L. She has to play TIER to block OVAL/HOLD, then I can play off HO for a good score then she'll go out. I specifically played OVOLI to not give back the triple, but I'm better off with OVOLO giving the play to the triple then going out with DOH. With OVOLo, then she has to sacrifice a lot to play under the O-L-o with something like ROE. With OVOLi, she can play OI(L)S and I have no way to stop TREE/R(OILS).
>Barbara_Epstein: EEIORST F4 SER +22 361
>Patrick_Beatrez: DH L3 D.H +7 415
>Patrick_Beatrez: (EIOT) +8 423
