>Roger_Cullman: OOX K10 OXO +22 112
>Matt_Canik: ?AEEFIT 8C FETIA.Es +61 100
#note Chose to score 61 instead of 66 because I don't like the spot it opens. Q says I'm dumb.
>Roger_Cullman: EE J4 .EE +6 118
>Matt_Canik: BCFIIMN 12I BI.MIC +24 124
#note I was like 90% sure this wasn't good, but I figured I could play it anyway. FIB L12 sims above this, even with the assumption that it stays on. But I know he's very bingo prone after DEE and assume an S is on his rack quite often. Still, a bad play says quackle.
>Roger_Cullman: AEIRTT C8 .ATTIER +22 140
>Matt_Canik: AFHINNU E3 UNFAI.H +26 150
#note FICHU is way beter
>Roger_Cullman: ARY 13G RAY +22 162
>Matt_Canik: EHLNOTU 2M THO +25 175
#note THOU B12 -4
>Roger_Cullman: CR H13 .RC +15 177
>Matt_Canik: EGLNSTU 14B G.UNTE.S +32 207
#note Board sucks, I'll grab all the points I can get.
>Roger_Cullman: NO F2 ON +6 183
>Matt_Canik: LQSVWWY 1F SLY +21 228
#note With Roger opening this aggressively, I think it's safe to assume a blank and at least a very solid leave. I think I *have* to block this, I don't think I'm outrunning an 80 point bingo too often. If I can dodge a bingo in the 11 row and N column, I can still probably win this game.

Of note: I think I kept literally the worst 4-tile leave available in the unseen pool with this play. Maybe QJWW is worse than QVWW.
>Roger_Cullman: ?AINOPR 11A An.IPORN +68 251
#note :(
>Matt_Canik: ABQVWWZ M11 W.Z +30 258
#note Maybe I can score my way back into this game.
>Roger_Cullman: JO 10F JO +52 303
#note ...or not.
>Matt_Canik: AABGQVW I3 Q. +21 279
#note If I exchange now, it becomes a "bingo or lose" situation on a board that is horrible for bingos. This holds (s)AW/WOS for 27, and if Roger is unable to score well for a turn or two I may actually have a chance. I just need a horrible pull from him...
>Roger_Cullman: ADIOU D1 AUDIO +27 330
#note That was a horrible pull, but not horrible enough :(
>Matt_Canik: AABGRVW A7 BRAV. +30 309
>Roger_Cullman: DEGMPTU 1A PUM. +24 354
>Matt_Canik: AGSW O12 SWAG +41 350
>Matt_Canik: AGSW -- -41 309
#note Only way to win the game. Quite certain it's no good, but I've gotta try it.
>Roger_Cullman: DEGT 8L .DGE +18 372
