#note Bill played PLATED, but missed the center square.
>E_Tran: AEEEIWW 8H AWEE +14 14
#note Inferring PLATED, sim likes exchanging. I figure Bill will miss a lot of the 8s I may set up for him... but that might be a bit risky. Should exchange, and let him blow up his rack.

>E_Tran: ?AIOSUY 7I AY +22 71
#note This game is gonna get ugly. I know I'm a much better player, so should welcome an open board, but I wanted to be safe and play a closed-ish board with an S/blank, hoping he opens, I snatch the only spot, and then my job of closing the board is mostly done.

>E_Tran: ?EILORU 13H sOILURE +67 183
#note Better not to bingo here? RIG or IGLU are worth considering. I didn't like any options, so I made this standard play. Should think longer here about not bingoing.
>Bill_P: EFINS 14J FINES +55 132
#note Pretty much negates my bingo
>E_Tran: DDLLNNY L12 L..Y +22 205
#note Was afraid of a big play at 12L. Given my rack, I should be playing LINED or NIDED. Y counts as a vowel, and my next rack could get really ugly.

>Bill_P: MOR H5 MOR. +12 186
>E_Tran: BCDNNOO N10 CON.. +13 257
#note G4 Bond was tempting, but I wanted to kill the most dangerous line. He's unlikely to bingo thru the M. Want to keep the game tight.
>Bill_P: EIK 5H .IKE +20 206
>E_Tran: BDFHNOS 4K FOB +21 278
#note Am I too paranoid here? I didn't want to give any lines, if possible. FOHNS, FOND/MIKED score a lot more, but give him a oneshot chance at bingoing to make it close. Also considered FOHN 4K. But, it seems the cons outweigh the pros
>Bill_P: EIV M2 VI.E +18 224
>E_Tran: DGHNPRS C11 R.P.. +14 292
#note Helps block that lonely T.
>Bill_P: BR 6F BR. +11 235
>E_Tran: DGHMNNS -DGMN +0 292
#note Though about just HM (two spots for it), but was afraid I might draw two consonants, and he would open the board and I would be helpless. With the case S, G(I)N is good, but a tad risky. With a vowel heavy pool, keeping HNS is fine.
>Bill_P: IU -UI +0 235
>E_Tran: CHNOOST B10 CO. +13 305
#note Saw the possibility of HOSTA O11 next turn. The B line isn't too much of a threat; I should be focused on blocking up that open V, and making sure he can't fork the board. Instead, I made this play, going for HOSTA. Just taking points with HOST, or 6K TOSH are also good. TOSH blocks any future threats in the O-line, so I think I prefer that.
>Bill_P: AEGR 2J GRA.E +26 261
>E_Tran: DHNOOST O1 OD +20 325
#note 6K TOSH scores, and blocks bingoes. O1 SNOOD also does the trick. I was still focused on HOSTA - figured the points would help me outrun even if he bingoed.
>Bill_P: E 13C .E. +13 274
>E_Tran: AHNOSTU O11 HOST +32 357
#note I finally get HOSTA, but to play it I have to empty the bag. *sigh* 1K OH is safest, duh, in case he has a bingo ending in A.
>Bill_P: ?ATX 1G TaXA +33 307
>E_Tran: AAMNNRU 2F MAN +14 371
#note Low on time. Chickened out on UNMAN.
