Player 1
#player1 Joshua_Sokol Joshua Sokol
#player2 Emanuel Emanuel
>Joshua_Sokol: AGQRRTU H4 QUART +48 48
#note We have improved our prospects, this is 4-point challenge.
>Emanuel: JO 9G JO +32 32
>Joshua_Sokol: BEGGORS 10C GREGOS +37 85
#note I didn't think BOGGERS# was good in TWL, but I still ALMOST played it. But I wanted to win this one and risking a turn was not the way ahead. But still, ugh. :(
>Emanuel: DOT 11E DOT +27 59
>Joshua_Sokol: AABLNYY 12F BAY +29 114
#note BAYYAN#, an official declaration in Islam.

As opposed to always keeping the Z in TWL, I will always keep the Y in Collins. The Y is the best tile in Collins. NY, KY, FY, you name it, it's good. This outperforms YAY in the same spot for 2 more, which I didn't even consider. Dead heat between the two on a sim actually. I have a future in this lexicon!!!
>Emanuel: CEEFL E5 FLEEC.. +26 85
>Joshua_Sokol: AIKLNRY 8A LINK.R +45 159
#note YLIKE#!!! And same story with BOGGERS#, figured YANKER# was likely a word in Collins, but couldn't pull the trigger in 4-point challenge. I have no future in this lexicon.
>Emanuel: AW I8 AW +28 113
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEOSWY H12 .EOW +30 189
#note my spot!!! YEOW where he played AY was so good. YAWY# is cool for 9 more, but one must keep the Y. YEOW wins a (very) short sim
>Emanuel: DEILMNU A4 UNMI.LED +62 175
#note +4 for this one, would never challenge if it was +10 or steeper.
>Joshua_Sokol: AENSTVY 13G S.VENTY +49 238
#note mistakenly scored as 70 points.
>Emanuel: AABIR D1 BRAAI +25 200
#note +4 again. I knew BOOAI# and BRAEHEID# but not BRAAI#. Emanuel is up to 208.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AADEOS 1D .ASElOAD +80 318
#note Tried to find bingos for a very long time and almost gave up, then saw this. Only thing to the T is ADESpO(T)A#. I missed AE(R)ADiOS and SEA(B)OArD. SEA(B)OArD is an awful, awful miss. I blame lack of confidence and neurons. This was +4, so at least it's only a 55-point mistake.
>Emanuel: ?DIPTTU 5G O.TCREEP +74 274
>Emanuel: ?DIPTTU -- -74 200
>Joshua_Sokol: DEIINTX 2J XI +53 371
#note After this play I wondered if EX would sim better because I know his full rack. EXIT is probably best for 4 more cause it gives less back
>Emanuel: CEEOPRT 3K PEC +20 220
#note Still has CEROT(Y)PE
>Joshua_Sokol: DEINOTU 4H .UOTE +39 410
#note Lots of I's left, perhaps QUITE instead
>Emanuel: ELNORTU K1 ....ERON +22 242
>Joshua_Sokol: ADIINOS 2G DIO..N +23 433
#note missed B5 OID(I)A and 2B SO(R)DINI
>Emanuel: ERTZ 8K .ERTZ +45 287
#note Guess I should have fished with IO L7
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AHIISU 14J HUIAS +54 487
#note almost didn't play this. But everything takes an S, especially that type of vowel dump. I have learned so much. +4 on this, and honourable mention of N5 HUI(T)AInS#, a word I am familiar with in a different language.
>Emanuel: FV 5C V..F +13 300
>Joshua_Sokol: ?GIIMPT 15L PrIM +45 532
#note more complicated endgame than I made it, much more complicated. I missed (PEC)H and he almost did too. Best play is 06 GI(Z)Mo. I don't want to play off GIT with G(R)IT 6J and save PrIM for next turn because he will just block.
>Emanuel: AEHILN N1 INHALE +33 333
>Emanuel: (GIT) +8 341
#note Final scores 540-349
