#note Perhaps I should exchange? It's not a major mistake either way

#note AUT(O)MA(N) is the star play

#note Forgot CINQ was good in TWL

>Matthew_O'Connor: IILNORT 6B LI.. +6 110
#note I like this play... It fishes for TRANQ and keeps a decent bingo leave with a hook in OLIO
>John_Venditti: EILRSST 3C ..L +6 100
#note Fishing an S is probably better
>Matthew_O'Connor: IIJNORT 2A JI. +24 134
#note I considered JOINT but ultimately picked JIB for the same reasons I picked LINO. Especially after a fish I think this is the right play
>John_Venditti: I -I +0 100
#note Exchange 1

>John_Venditti: EEIRSST M8 RESITES +76 176
>Matthew_O'Connor: BEKORSV 12H OBVER. +24 229
#note I liked this play because it blocks the bingo lanes that don't give me a triple in response, saves the K, which doesn't do super well on this board right now, and the S, which can be used for a bingo later for me, especially with two blanks out. Also I was thinking especially about turnover, with two blanks out I wanted to go for them and with a small lead I wanted to get to the end of the game quicker. According to quackle the top play is VER(S)O J14 but I'm happy enough with my play
>John_Venditti: EX 8M .EX +30 206
>Matthew_O'Connor: ACDKMSZ N3 SMACK.D +25 254
#note Quackle picks it as its favorite. It turns over tiles which is still a good strategy for the same reasons as the last turn. It also leaves the Z, which doesn't have the greatest prospects with this rack right now but easily could become a big deal with the right draw, and blocks the E and X lanes, which can be pretty annoying (Him bingoing on row 13 should usually give me a solid Z play and him bingoing to the S is going to give me something huge on the triple) MEZE is a poor play because ACDKS doesn't have a huge future on this board after a two tile draw and the E which is a big deal with RRRDS out for him to end bingos with is still there and I don't always have a huge snapback on the O1 triple
>John_Venditti: EHY O1 YEH +32 238
>Matthew_O'Connor: EEFNSTZ 11C FEZES +43 297
>John_Venditti: EFH 12B FEH +33 271
>Matthew_O'Connor: ADINNRT 1F TRAN. +42 339
#note How much does the ordering of this matter? I played TRANQ first but DJIN sis probably better in case John tries fishing with AJI. If he plays AJI I'm going to play parallel to the ES in RESITES but he can probably sometimes play a 9 and still win. I should probably play DJIN first then
