>Alec_Sjoholm: AITX 8E TAXI +22 22
>JD: AEEINOS 7F AEON +20 20
#note lowers my bingo percentage drastically from just AE, but forces alec into playing on a weirdly defensive board - seemed worth putting him to the test
>Alec_Sjoholm: OTW 6I OWT +16 38
>JD: EEGISVZ 5E VEGIE +21 41
#note Q says worth it to burn the S for 14 more, I was reluctant to open so much given his last play. think it's closer than a sim with no inferences would suggest.
>Alec_Sjoholm: EJTU 4I JUTE +33 71
>JD: ADELRSZ 5K ADZ +35 76
>Alec_Sjoholm: AIOSY M5 .OYSIA +23 94
#note nice play
>JD: EFLPRST N3 TREF +42 118
>Alec_Sjoholm: EFMU O6 FUME +36 130
>JD: LOPRSTW N10 WORTS +45 163
#note maybe first inaccurate play. PROWLS or PLOWS look worth the point sacrifice in order to avoid giving up nice letters for 8s. Opponent bingo % after WORTS is 23% versus 15% after PROWLS.
>Alec_Sjoholm: ?ACEHIN 12H CHAINE.s +80 210
#note HYAENIC is 88
>JD: AILPPRR H12 .RIP +24 187
#note a fork of sorts. quackle also likes APP at 11I, for more immediate points but a lower chance of bingoing next turn (10% vs 19%)
>Alec_Sjoholm: Q K11 Q. +22 232
>JD: ADILPRU F2 PUL. +12 199
#note I am unsure about this move, and don't know alec's game enough to know what the best option is. AULD at L7 is 11 more points and leaves me down 22, but there's then a risk if he has one of the 5 Es of him killing all the lanes by playing on column I. PULE kicks my bingo % up from 15% to 25% next turn according to a sim and also saves DINAR at L10 to score points if I can't draw a bingo next turn, and there aren't a lot of scoring spots on the board or ammo in the bag if I try to chase him down just by scoring points. Therefore, I think my move is OK.
>Alec_Sjoholm: DEO I11 O.ED +15 247
#note aha, he did block.
>JD: AADIIRR L10 DI.AR +24 223
>Alec_Sjoholm: ADEELNT E8 .ALENTED +68 315
>JD: ABEIIRS 15A RABI. +27 250
#note down to 4% to win or so
>Alec_Sjoholm: AILNORV 2F .ARVOLIN +65 380
>JD: EEGILOS 1L GOES +28 278
#note he always has a massive play at this spot. my path to victory is drawing the blank and a ginormous play on column A, and then him doing something ridiculous.
>Alec_Sjoholm: HMUY 10B MUH.Y +27 407
#note unfortunately, he played a real word and CLuNKIER for 104 is blocked (hardly a shock)
>JD: ?CEIKLN C8 NE.mIC +16 294
#note I ran over on time here for no particular reason. my play saves KILN and LEK, but he can actually block both with OBI at D13. best is just LEUCIN, which then punishes him if he plays BOGUS at 3C with KAS/KA for 25. my play winds up being 20 points back in total.
>Alec_Sjoholm: BGNOS 3C BOG.S +21 428
>JD: KL 14D L.K +19 313
#note ultimately I think I played pretty good while it mattered
>JD: (time) -20 293
>JD: (N) +2 295 |
