>Joshua_Sokol: CDHILRS H4 CHILD +28 28
>Ella_Sobel: DEEIIST I6 DIE +14 14
#note she lays DEITIES down at G6, almost hits her clock, realizes she's put down DI#, puts it on the other side as DIETIES*, realizes her mistake, and plays this. I had hoped she didn't know the hook for CHILD. Also I had forgotten if EIDETI(C)S+ had gotten added. I wouldn't have challenged though.
>Joshua_Sokol: AAGGORS G5 AG +13 41
#note To best respond to her next play I keep the most balanced leave posible, despite it not being great.
>Ella_Sobel: AEIRSTW J8 WARIEST +71 85
#note Aw. WATERSI(DE) would have been phenomenal.
>Joshua_Sokol: AGINORS K2 ORIGANS +74 115
#note maybe try to draw the challenge on SOARINGS
>Ella_Sobel: III -III +0 85
>Joshua_Sokol: BCDGOST J2 BOG +27 142
#note I think this was my rack. Ugh.
>Ella_Sobel: ENQU 12H QU.EN +48 133
>Joshua_Sokol: BCDOSTT L4 BOD +30 172
#note At this point I started to wonder if GODCHILD were valid. Of course it is! And I had it last turn!
>Ella_Sobel: EEEEEE -EEEEEE +0 133
>Joshua_Sokol: CEKSTTY M11 KYTE +40 212
>Ella_Sobel: JW 14L J.W +26 159
>Joshua_Sokol: CEIRSTT 10D CRITTE.S +62 274
#note I finally saw TRISECT on this rack (always miss that one) and it was useless to have seen it.
>Ella_Sobel: EHOS O12 HOSE +47 206
>Joshua_Sokol: ALNPRUU E8 PU.L +12 286
#note Hoping for an I or an OT next turn to hit the Q, but I should just play D8 UP(C)URL despite this play's merits.
>Ella_Sobel: DO 15L OD +27 233
>Ella_Sobel: DO -- -27 206
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ANORTU 14C TURNcOA. +59 345
#note N5 ROTUNdA is 5 more, but not quite as defensive. I think this is correct here.
>Ella_Sobel: ADOT 15A DOAT +23 229
>Joshua_Sokol: EIMMOOV 13B MEMO +29 374
#note blocking the D, or as some like to put it, ____blocking
>Ella_Sobel: AR F4 AR +8 237
>Joshua_Sokol: EEIINOV 4D VI. +12 386
#note missing ENVOI for the nth time.
>Ella_Sobel: U B12 U. +4 241
>Joshua_Sokol: EEIINNO A8 INION +21 407
#note That last play was much more dangerous than I thought. I had no idea that she was setting up a much bigger tile than the N! Kudos to Ella for an expert-level setup play!!! I thought this was greedy and handing her a bingo that she probably didn't have otherwise.
>Ella_Sobel: ?EILX 15H XI +56 297
#note but no! Ella said I made a hilarious face when this came down.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEEFYZ B9 EF +28 435
#note Michael noted that I had a much better play here. I saw it after I played. Just autopiloted to block the bingo lane. 8C YE(P) is probably a better block because of a 60-point FEAZE play!
>Ella_Sobel: ?AEEFLV F3 L.. +3 300
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEEPYZ N10 ZA +37 472
#note And when I should block, I don't. I considered playing PEA(V)Y because I wanted Ella to win with FLA(P)ERoN. C5 PAYEE is the best non-blocking play. Perhaps I should play L4 (BOD)E just to not empty the bag.
>Ella_Sobel: ?AELNRV 2A VENeRAL +78 378
>Ella_Sobel: ?AELNRV -- -78 300
#note And in horror, Ella plays VENeRAL*, thinking it's valid, instead of VENTRAL! I am so lucky.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEEFPY D1 PEA.Y +16 488
#note She still has VERONAL at M3. I guess I wasn't supposed to try to block.
>Ella_Sobel: ?AELNRV 1D .ERVs +27 327
#note Oh, and 2A REL(E)VANt that I gave her. lol. Time ran out.
>Joshua_Sokol: EEF M2 FEE +19 507
>Joshua_Sokol: (ALN) +6 513
