>Joshua_Sokol: EEHUUWY H6 WHEY +26 26
>Bernard: DINO 6D INDO. +13 13
>Joshua_Sokol: EERSUUW F4 WU. +7 33
#note Seems too fishy. If I'm not going to score I should probably just exchange and keep ERS, but scoring is viable here too with 5E EEW
>Bernard: AELX I7 AXEL +34 47
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEIRSU 11C UREIDES +78 111
#note Sim prefers RESIDUE, same lane. Guess there is no huge Q spot and the board is open on the left side anyway, but I don't like how difficult board control is after RESIDUE compared to UREIDES. Hmm...
>Bernard: GINY H11 .YING +39 86
>Joshua_Sokol: EEGMORV 14B OVERME. +36 147
#note Considered 12A VOMER too. I decided not to give him any clear scoring plays and immediate bingo options but that's probably better.
>Bernard: OO 4F .OO +7 93
>Joshua_Sokol: DGGJOST H1 DOJ. +36 183
#note sim massively prefers J(I)G F10, which I considered. I knew this wasn't a great way to counter his fish but I liked the points, and GGST actually seemed fine on this board. Sim also prefers GOJ(I) F8. I should just not give him that floating D after his fish.
>Bernard: ?AELLOS 1A SALLOwE. +77 170
>Joshua_Sokol: AGGHOST J4 HOGG +20 203
#note I keep thinking HOSTAGE takes a front G...
Considered this and H(O)GG 2G for 2 fewer. Figured although AOST looked better based on the lack of O's and prevalance of A's in the pool, it actually was still significantly worse as a leave.
>Bernard: BTT 13G B.TT +17 187
>Joshua_Sokol: AAELSTU G8 LAU. +23 226
#note Good timing, blocking his QI. Could have done that last turn too but didn't seem right to play THO 10E.
>Bernard: IQ 15A QI +35 222
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEERST K4 AE +13 239
#note Maybe (H)AE in the same spot? Looks better for my chances and gives less back. Yeah.
>Bernard: ATV L2 VAT +24 246
>Joshua_Sokol: ABENRST B1 .NTBEARS +74 313
>Bernard: AEIRZ A6 ZAIRE +61 307
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CFIIPT C9 PF.I +12 325
#note This was a bad play. I did not concentrate on finding something better, but D10 T(R)IC(E)P and D8 PIC(R)IT(E) are significantly better here.
>Bernard: EIKS D8 KIE.S +41 348
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CINNRT 3K N.RC +15 340
>Bernard: AM N1 MA. +14 362
>Joshua_Sokol: ?FINNOT 2G F.N +11 351
#note surprised he blocked FONTINA. Figured I could win even if I didn't hit something after this, but this seemed good for my bingo chances next turn. Playing off the F on the other hand did not seem good for my chances. He's likely playing at O1 next turn so if I'm going for a bingo I need to go for something from the G at 15H, hence why I kept INOT? instead of INNOT?. Leaving one in the bag seemed more strategically sound here but the leave wasn't good enough. I should just outscore here, just wasn't sure I was going to. Champ likes this best.
>Bernard: AD O1 AD +24 386
>Joshua_Sokol: ?IINOPT O1 ..OPTINg +46 397
#note I mistracked thinking he had CELRT and no U. Nothing wins here but if I play J12 I(T), he has to convince himself that he needs to play out with one of RECUT, CURET, CRUET or ERUCT. I think there is a good chance he would not chance it and think that he is winning, missing my outs. But alas, I will never know if I could have won this in the endgame.
>Bernard: CERTU 14J ERUCT +22 408
#note He said that this looked familiar. I thought he was making a joke because Norma had just played ERUCTIN(G) against me in my game with her. But he didn't even see that!
>Bernard: (I) +2 410
