#player1 Michael_Fagen Michael Fagen
#player2 Joshua_Sokol Joshua Sokol
>Michael_Fagen: ?ABDIJR 8G JIB +24 24
#note JAYBIRD for 98
>Joshua_Sokol: EFNNNOU 9F NONE +23 23
#note I knew he had the blank because I saw him turn it over when he drew. So here I wanted to give him only marginal lanes, block some stuff, and keep a leave that was OK.
>Michael_Fagen: ?ADOORW 10F OW +24 48
#note He missed DOORWAY, and he probably didn't know WOODRAT. WOODgRA(IN) is his best bingo!
>Joshua_Sokol: AEFINTU J7 FETA +27 50
#note Failed to consider E10 TUFA here, which is probably what I should have played. I also scored FIE only as 25, and FETA 27. But UNI is just really bad, I should play FIE. I was just worried that it made him bingo-ing too easy compared to FETA. I guess I trust my instinct here, but TUFA for 20 should be the play I think.
>Michael_Fagen: ?ABDORU K4 BROAD +36 84
>Joshua_Sokol: HIINPUV E10 PIU +18 68
#note HUP was also a consideration of mine. Again trying to make finding a bingo hard. Seems to have worked this far, yet this time it didn't work. I need to do something about my deficit too.
>Michael_Fagen: ??AITUY 4F sUITA.lY +74 158
#note Probably better than him playing YAUTIAS, although he might not know that? Michael says he missed the ABROAD hook this time, but it's not a big deal.
>Joshua_Sokol: HILNRVV 11D V.RL +24 92
>Michael_Fagen: AEHQUWZ F4 .UQ +31 189
#note QUA(I) sims better, but this is fine as well.
>Joshua_Sokol: DEHINSV H11 SHIVE +53 145
>Michael_Fagen: AEHMOWZ 3J HAEM +47 236
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEINSS 15C ANISE.DS +60 205
#note Missing A(V)IDNESS, and deciding that SHANDIES was phony and that he would challenge it off. Pivotal. This is where the game gets out of reach.
>Michael_Fagen: DEORTWZ H1 DOZ.ER +48 284
#note ZOW(I)E
>Joshua_Sokol: EFLRRSU 7C FURS +23 228
#note I guess 13H (I)REFUL? I wanted to keep as much of the board open as possible, since I might need to bingo twice.
>Michael_Fagen: AGOTTW 8A GOAT +26 310
>Joshua_Sokol: DEELLRR 7J ..RL +8 236
#note Hoping he doesn't see or know FARLE
>Michael_Fagen: IIOOTTW 9A OWT +22 332
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEELLR 10A DEE +26 262
>Michael_Fagen: GIINOTT 1H .ITTOING +83 415
>Joshua_Sokol: EGLLMRX 5D GL.M. +20 282
#note I need to prepare for a miracle here. (G)LOXINIA is that miracle. This is the first step.
>Michael_Fagen: AEE 14F EA.E +18 433
#note Michael had all the vowels I needed, but at least he inadvertantly set this up for me.
>Joshua_Sokol: CEKLNRX 13G N.X +42 324
>Michael_Fagen: AACIIOP 4A CAPA +28 461
>Michael_Fagen: AACIIOP -- -28 433
>Joshua_Sokol: CEEKLNR C14 K. +6 330
#note I should probably just cut my losses here, but CAPA made it very likely (so I thought) that I would draw an I and hit my fish. It seems Michael was blind to FARLE anyway.
>Michael_Fagen: AACIIOP 13B POI +24 457
#note Play ACAI first. Michael didn't originally see ACAI
>Joshua_Sokol: CEELNRY 12H .ENRY +34 364
#note HENLEY. I ran out of time.
>Michael_Fagen: AACI 13L ACAI +17 474
#note Almost missing ACAI again
>Michael_Fagen: (CEL) +10 484
#note lost 10 points due to time.
