>Darrell_Day: AAEEORW H6 AWA +12 12
#note I wanted to see what Darrell was made of defensively here, which is why I chose this play over "better" options, but I should probably just play AWARE.
>Joshua_Sokol: DEENTTU 8G T.UTENED +60 60
#note And obviously my plan of giving as little as possible back to my opponent completely failed here. And by sacrificing 5 points and little board control, Darrell does the same as me, and yet I cannot respond.
>Darrell_Day: EEOORUU -EOOUU +0 12
>Joshua_Sokol: FGILOR L3 ROLFI.G +22 82
>Darrell_Day: ?DDEGIR 3F GRIDDE.s +76 88
#note Back in the game!
>Joshua_Sokol: NUY 6F YU.N +15 97
>Darrell_Day: AEHMNQV K7 H.AVEN +32 120
#note What do I infer from YUAN? Probably that he has a relatively strong leave and that I shouldn't open anything up. Even if he doesn't have anything though, I'm not in a positive position here. I think I should have played K2 V(E)NAE and this looks like pivotal mistake number one: blindly whoring equity despite Darrell's last play.
>Joshua_Sokol: EIINRSU N5 URI.INES +63 160
#note Although Darrell was unable to take advantage of my board-opening play, his likely leave of EINS or ENSU or EIRS or ERSU will, in most scenarios, punish my last play.
>Darrell_Day: FKMMOOQ -FKMOOQ +0 120
#note I can't play through this...
>Joshua_Sokol: EHOR O12 HERO +42 202
>Darrell_Day: IIMOPT 12H POI.TI.. +32 152
>Darrell_Day: IIMOPT -- -32 120
#note I don't remember my last tile, I think it was another I. I thought this was good. Pivotal error number 2.
>Joshua_Sokol: BDE L11 DEB +19 221
>Darrell_Day: IIMOPT J1 MI.I +9 129
#note ugh
>Joshua_Sokol: CEM H1 EM.C +33 254
>Darrell_Day: ?IIOPTW 14J WIT +21 150
#note free points for Darrell, but it seems necessary to open the left side
>Joshua_Sokol: BGIL 5C GLIB +21 275
>Darrell_Day: ?AIOOPR 9A PAROdOI +63 213
>Joshua_Sokol: QRSTU B7 QU.RTS +17 292
>Darrell_Day: AELOOPS 4D APO +28 241
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEJLO 15E CAJOLE +50 342
#note Was kinda surprised the last S wasn't a part of this play, but I understand the ideas behind QUARTS over QUART
>Darrell_Day: EELNOST M6 OL. +18 259
#note Well there go my winning chances, I thought this was a clever way to score and leave O1 as a bingo lane but I forgot I was forming HILI... Strike three and I'm out.
>Joshua_Sokol: ENOX 10E OXEN +56 398
>Darrell_Day: AEENSTY 1J .AYEST +45 304
>Joshua_Sokol: AAFSTVZ - +0 398
#note Challenged.
>Darrell_Day: EKN H12 KEN. +13 317
>Darrell_Day: (AAFSTVZ) +44 361
#note Darrell said he lost around 44 points by challenging. It was 52. But I struck out already so it doesn't matter!
