>JD: BEFLOTT J8 LOFT +29 29
>Vijay: ?EEISSU 12G rEISSUE +72 98
>JD: ABEORRT 13B TABORER +74 103
#note I wasn't sure about ABORTER, and more importantly did not think REISSUER was good at all. about 8 points or so worse
>Vijay: AFH 12C FAH +36 134
>JD: ADIITYZ K4 DITZY +54 157
#note intriguing. I settled for a much worse leave by passing up ZAIDY, but did so because ZAIDY sets up huge Z counterplays. but Q suggests that I overestimated this effect - ZAIDY is only about 3 points worse on defense. I suppose the board is already quite open.
>Vijay: ?AGINOV 4G AVOI.iNG +82 216
>JD: AAIKNUV 3E AUK +23 180
#note I spent a long time looking at this aukward rack. VINA at 14A ends up simming a bit better, simply because it scores a bunch more and AINV doesn't bingo all that much (only 19%).
>Vijay: AEE K10 EA.E +17 233
>JD: ABIINOV 14A VINO +29 209
>Vijay: CDEIM N10 MEDIC +40 273
#note vijay held an O on this turn. nice play
>JD: ABCILMR 4A CLIMB +32 241
#note lots of reasonable plays available. the best simming play is BRIM at O7, but I didn't like blocking a potential high-scoring bingo lane. I also thought about CAMEL at M9 but the leave seemed poor.
>Vijay: INQS A4 .INQS +48 321
>JD: AGORRTU 15J TURGOR +35 276
#note not looking good, I hated to block my best lane, but at least I keep myself in range to catch up with a bingo, and the rest of the board is fairly open.
>Vijay: OOX O8 OXO +34 355
>JD: AELNPRY 11E PLAY +42 318
>Vijay: AA 5D AA +18 373
>JD: EELNPRT M9 REP.L +29 347
#note definitely the right move, but I was already over on time at this point!!
>Vijay: ADEH 3L HEAD +27 400
>JD: EEENTTU 2N TE +15 362
#note not much else to try, at least makes vijay have to think a bit to block.
>Vijay: DW L2 W..D +13 413
#note elegant block of both rows 1 and 6.
>JD: EEENNTU 7A .UEEN +15 377
>Vijay: GIINRS 6H GRI.S +19 432
>JD: ENT N6 TEN +7 384
#note I went over 2 minutes total. nice playing by vijay, I never really threatened him this time.
>JD: (IN) +4 388
