>Ian: BINOTUY 8G BOUNTY +30 30
>Will: BGIINSS 8G ......ING +45 45
#note Phony. I remembered BOUNTIED as an adjective only, but the fact that it is a word made me feel like this play would be a brutally difficult challenge. My history of challenges against Ian is mostly very good, but the last time we played, he instachallenged my NONDRUGS*. This was a 9, though. I was somewhat emboldened by not having lost a challenge yet, so I pushed my luck.
>Ian: EFGIOOU 9C FUGIO +19 49
>Will: ABIKMSS 8A SKIM +51 96
>Ian: EEIOOQR 7M QI +44 93

>Will: BDENSTX 12G EXT.ND +44 203
>Ian: DENPRRY I7 Y.P +31 144
>Will: ABCSSVW 11E VAW +23 226
#note Not playing M12 SWAB.
>Ian: DENPRRV K5 VEN. +25 169
>Will: ABCESSU 4H CUBES +32 258
>Ian: ?DPRRST M11 PST +25 194
>Will: ?AALOSW J2 WA. +16 274
#note I did not see SAWLOG, but this looks like a good upside move for me. On the other hand, there's already an S at 8A to hit, so taking 15 extra points and gunning for that doesn't even hurt my bingo% much (it's still over 60%, although WAB is a whopping 90%), and when I do hit it, the board becomes totally barren for Ian.
>Ian: ?DIORRR O8 .RR +4 198
>Will: ?AEILOS 1F cELOSIA +80 354
#note After Ian's last few plays, something like A8 SOILAGES might be warranted.
>Ian: ?DHIORR 13B HORRID +33 231
>Will: AEFILLM 12A FAME +39 393
#note After GRR maybe I sacrifice a ton to block the S, but after HORRID I feel fine taking the points and hoping he bricks a 6 tile draw.
>Ian: ?AENNOR A1 bARONNE. +74 305
>Will: AEIILLO 14B ALE +26 419
#note Doesn't open the triple like OIL does.
>Ian: AEEGITU 7C GAIT +21 326
>Will: DIILLOT 3A .OIL +8 427
#note Okay, here I missed a wonderful play - 2L LID, setting up my case O. Excellent.
>Ian: ACDEETU 4C DACE +21 347
>Will: DEIJLT F3 E.JI. +14 441
#note Somehow missed 10A JET. (-7)
