>Matt_Canik: AFGOTWZ H4 FAGOT +26 26
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: AAEGV G6 AGAVE +25 25
>Matt_Canik: LLNNSWZ 6F Z.. +33 59
#note ZAG? Exchange LNNW to hold the L for LEZ pulls? Exchange LLNNW? All are really close. I like the lower-variance option here, plus almost any vowel pull (except U) bails me out of an exchange.
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: NOY F10 YON +27 52
>Matt_Canik: ELLNNSW E8 WELL +24 83
#note Tough call on the placement here - on bottom allows the S setup, on top is less volatile, which I want against a lower-rated foe.
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: DINS 4H .INDS +18 70
>Matt_Canik: BDLNNSU I2 BL.NS +24 107
#note Knew BLIN didn't take an S, but I didn't see any other options. Completely spaced out on YOND - BUND/YOND is clearly best here. -9
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: IIIUUU -IIIUUU +0 70
>Matt_Canik: DIINOTU K1 OUT.ID +16 123
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: ??EIRRT 13B ReTRIEs +69 139
>Matt_Canik: AEIKNOT 1J N.OKIE +33 156
#note Prefer not to "fish" against lower-rated players with a volatile leave like EINT, but I didn't think about A(BLINS) so I didn't consider KOA or OKA there. If I had, I don't think I'd do them anyway.
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: AQTU B10 QUA.T +68 207
>Matt_Canik: ABGMOTU 15A TOMB +48 204
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: ILOOP D4 POLIO +22 229
>Matt_Canik: AAEFGHU E2 HAAF +34 238
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: AEU 12H EAU +6 235
>Matt_Canik: EEGNRUW H11 R..EW +21 259
#note Incredibly miss W(A)RE 12A for 6 more, playing the same tiles, because I'm awesome.
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: DIP C9 DIP +23 258
>Matt_Canik: EEEGINU M1 .UE +14 273
#note HATE opening a line to make this a race-to-a-bingo game, but there's just NOTHING else.
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: AENR F1 NEAR +20 278
>Matt_Canik: EEGINTV O1 .VE +6 279
#note I think if I make this play, the game will come down to YONIC, and I don't know if he knows that. I want to block the bingos and go for the C-play to win.

Of course, I oversaw (S)TEEVING which clearly wins me this game.
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: EM C6 EM +16 294
>Matt_Canik: EGHINST 14G S.ETHING +80 359
#note CAN'T play SHEETING here because I don't know if it takes an S (it does).
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: ACEIJRS B2 RAJES +33 327
>Matt_Canik: CDIORXY K9 ORYX +39 398
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: CI N12 CI. +6 333
>Bill_(Robert_Griffin)_Scherer_III: (CDI) +12 345
