#note Great start! I saw this and figured that, coming off his 5-tile exchange, I was going to be off to the races
>Sid_Murrali: ?CEENOO F6 CO.ENOsE +67 67
#note E3 COOEEING scores 68 but this is a beautiful find! And it had an unexpected benefit:
>Jim_Burlant: ADEEEIT - +0 40
#note Redefining the extent of human stupidity. Instead of noticing that his play floated the N I needed for DETAINEE, I chose to fixate on his word. Since CONENOSE looked like something I should have seen in study by now, I challenged and cost myself the game. The rest of this deteriorated pretty quickly as you'll soon see. Bingoing back wins 54%; being a moron and challenging a word I have no reason to challenge wins 28. Nothing like throwing away 24% winning chances and 58 equity points with a perfectly avoidable decision.

#note REVIEW 10I 22 is better but there's not much else to do with this.
>Sid_Murrali: AFX 15M FAX +44 202
>Jim_Burlant: ?AEINOU -IOU +0 99
#note Yes, I saw REWOVEN as a threat, but there were only 2 N's unseen and I didn't like the idea of keeping AEIOU? and exchanging on the next turn. This is another stupid play by me in a game full of them.

#note A blind squirrel gets an acorn once in his life. This is best.

#note Just tryng to string it wide open.

>Jim_Burlant: CDLORSU 1L CU.S +30 279
#note Not that I've played worth a damn to this point, but it's a sign of how this game was going that he floated me the Z and I had to just watch it dangle there. Obviously I need to do something about row 1 and SCUDO looks a little better to leave myself a hook. That said, no matter how I slice it, it's beyond bleak. 1.3% to win.
