#note I challenged
>JD: AEEILSW 11E AWE +46 80
#note gahh, my first missed TWL bingo of the tournament, and an easy one at that. fortunately the nonbingo play is almost as good, probably why I didn't look that hard for the bingo in the first place.
>Emmanuel_Umujose: EGIOR 12A GOIER +26 140
>JD: EILMSUW A12 .LUM +21 101
#note I'm sort of glad that he blocked the spot for UMWHILES* so I wouldn't try it (just UMWHILE# is good). both UM and LEW sim a little better. I think UM is a little too aggressive. IMSU seems to score better next move than EISW, but GLUM seems to lead to a better bingo leave long-term.
>Emmanuel_Umujose: DOU 9B UDO +17 157
>JD: DEIKNSW 12G SWINKED +93 194
#note held but didn't challenge
>Emmanuel_Umujose: ADOP 8A APOD +44 201
>JD: ?BDEIIT K2 DEBITIn. +72 266
>Emmanuel_Umujose: ACEI 4H CEI.A +24 225
>JD: AEEERVY H12 .AVY +39 305
#note YAE sims a little bit better at 13K because of the clunkiness of EEER - YAE also sets up potential good V plays on row 14. I didn't like YAE because it opens a good bingo lane on a relatively closed board, but if he does bingo on row 14 I should get good counterplay at least.
>Emmanuel_Umujose: OU M11 U.O +8 233
#note yikes, I didn't even notice that he played UDO twice in one game until now
>JD: EEEMNRT B14 ME +20 325
>Emmanuel_Umujose: IOT H1 OTI. +18 251
>JD: AEENRST M2 EASTERN +76 401
#note EASTERN blocks bingos much more effectively than ATTENDERS or SERENATA.
>Emmanuel_Umujose: BO 8M .OB +15 266
>JD: FLNNQTU 3F QU.NT. +22 423
#note Q likes keeping NQU for spread, fishing for a big Q play on row 14 by playing FENT# this turn. makes sense.
>Emmanuel_Umujose: ITTV A4 VITT. +12 278
>JD: AEFLNRX N5 EX +52 475
#note completely missed spot for FALX at 13C
>Emmanuel_Umujose: AEELPRS O8 .EPEARLS +89 367

#note rewarded for my bad play last turn
