>Matt: AZ 7E ZA +25 25
>W: BGNQUVY 6F BY +25 57
#note Held my nose here...BEVY was the other choice. Felt like a coin flip, but BEVY helped Matt out with board control more than I wanted.

>W: EEIINRU 8K UR.EI +18 221
#note Didn't really consider HEIR, though I was immediately looking in that spot. It's probably a smidge better.

>W: ABCDEIP E11 PIC. +16 277
#note Very confused about how best to handle this, but my confusion would only escalate from here on out.
>Matt: ?EEGIRS H12 GI.E +21 268
>W: ABDEEES O4 BEED. +11 288
#note Big equity hit to block the I and not open with this at 12A
>Matt: E N13 .E. +12 280
>W: AEELORS 9C LO.E +17 305
#note Not seeing a great block of the K, which I figured he was gunning for, so I wanted to try and do it in two turns. Maybe he has a BOOK word? A WORK word?
>Matt: F 10M .F +13 293
>W: AEEHIRS 10B HIE +22 327
#note Mission accomplished...right?
>Matt: O 13G O. +6 299
>W: AEIJORS N2 JIAO +28 355
#note OK, now I'm really confused. Does he have an amazing fit down column N?
>Matt: D C9 ..D +4 303
>W: AEENPRS J4 PEA +18 373
#note Still totally in the dark
>Matt: ?ENORSS L1 REStS +14 317
#note He laid down ?NEuR(Y)S(M)S G1 and then turned over the last letter to reveal an O. Matt had 5 cracks at getting an A and an easy win and just missed. I don't think either of us will remember this game proudly.
