>Alan_Kait: AEEPRRS I2 REAPERS +71 71
>JD: AEGJOTV E5 JOG. +24 98
#note I am surprised that AEGTV is at all decent, but it scores as much next turn as AETV does after JOGS.
>Alan_Kait: FOX F4 FOX +63 134
>JD: ADEINTV G3 VAT +25 123
#note I was trying to block easy plays on column H while still keeping a good leave.

>JD: DEEINVW B4 INWE.VED +75 198
>Alan_Kait: AMN J4 NAM +27 178
>JD: AFIOWYZ K3 WAY +37 235
#note taking the points with FOZY is not a bad idea.
>Alan_Kait: CPSU A1 SCUP +40 218
>JD: FIMORTZ A10 FIZ +33 268
#note I saw comfit and decided on fiz instead. fiz seems to do a better job of controlling the board. during opens I'm more of a fan of the james approach where you just play scrabble than the kenji method of changing how you play drastically in response to your opponent. that said, I believe you want to make lower-rated opponents make tough plays - and here taking column A takes away the easiest spot to find a play.
>Alan_Kait: AQT C2 QAT +29 247

#note I was pretty happy with this play. it was a tough find.

>Alan_Kait: DEO 3M ODE +23 277
>JD: EEKLNRS 11D ELK +22 334

>Alan_Kait: BEIIO 10H .OBE +12 396
>JD: GLOY 11K LOGY +20 513
