>Joshua_Sokol: AEEFITU 10G E.UF +15 15
>Mack_Meller: AELNNOS I7 ANN.LOSE +71 83
#note wasn't blocking that
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIITTY H12 YETI +46 61
>Mack_Meller: III -III +0 83
>Joshua_Sokol: AEILORT 13A AEROLIT.. +70 131
#note I've played this as a 9 multiple times before, especially to ES.
>Mack_Meller: DEHO 12A HOED +43 126
>Joshua_Sokol: AAINOVW G6 VAW +22 153
#note I sacrificed a lot of points this game to be very defensive. I should not have played this, as I was not far enough ahead to do so safely.
>Mack_Meller: EZ A12 ..ZE +48 174
#note yup
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEINOR 11D AEON +14 167
#note there goes my lead. This is 5 more points down two spots and left one spot. I was extremely exhausted this game it seemed.
>Mack_Meller: BI J10 .IB +18 192
>Joshua_Sokol: AAIOQRU G13 .AO +8 175
#note 11I LIQUOR is my only way to shed the Q and I missed it. I considered J14 AI and then AA to better set up a potential big Q play, but figured it allowed Mack an easier shot at that triple as well so was not worth it. I still should have played AI I think. Not over LIQUOR obviously.
>Mack_Meller: AT B11 T..A +30 222
#note he obviously got to this before me. At least it wasn't IPOMOEA.
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEIQRU 11I ..AR +8 183
#note at least I found this, which is by far the best play here, to try and set my Q up.
>Mack_Meller: DX F11 .X.D +25 247
#note and he doesn't block!
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AEIKQU L8 QUI.K +56 239
#note K? Draw?!? Fate was smiling upon me and wanted me to defeat Mack, but I could not pull the trigger on the 100-point word. My word knowledge felt so shaky this tournament. And this was underscored by 2...
>Mack_Meller: IPS 13K PSI +29 276
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AEEORY 8L .uEY +45 284
>Mack_Meller: GSS 14A ..GS +23 299
>Joshua_Sokol: ACDEORR 8G ...E +7 291
#note This play that I made was absolutely insane. I figured he might have a game-winning bingo here with his case S and I wanted to stop him from getting a bingo. But I mean I'm not even ahead. I made all sorts of incredibly ridiculous plays this game but this one took the cake.
>Mack_Meller: PRV N7 P.RV +17 316
>Joshua_Sokol: ACDOORR E5 CORROD. +20 311
>Mack_Meller: LOW 9C WO.L +11 327
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AGILTU K13 .UG +6 317
#note alright, it's a race to a bingo. If he hits his unlikely bingo down J1, I should be able to triple-triple with this leave. Let's see what happens.
>Mack_Meller: EEINRST J1 ETERNIS. +68 395
#note he really hesitated to play this, but he has to. Step one complete.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADGILT 1E GILTh.AD +83 400
#note nooooooo, at least there is still hope on the horizon for me in the endgame, but I ran out of time looking for the highest-scoring bingo and forgot that I needed to set up somewhere to go out next turn with ALIGhT(E)D instead.
>Mack_Meller: CEFIIJM 3G JEF. +26 421
#note damn it. This is many points worse than MIC(E) in the same spot
>Joshua_Sokol: BHNT 9K B.H. +21 421
#note I have to see his setup play coming and play F1 (I)T
>Mack_Meller: CIIM 2D MI +7 428
>Joshua_Sokol: NT H3 .N +3 424
>Mack_Meller: CI D2 .IC +14 442
