>Morris_Greenberg: EEIIJOR 11E J.E +40 87
#note Interesting choice between J(E)E, J(E)ER, and JI(V)IER. Ultimately, 24 or 26 points is just too much of a sacrifice to merit the better leave for JIVIER. Normally, I prefer playing JEER over JEE for defensive reasons, but figured the consonant was very valuable for me. Quackle slightly prefers JEER.

#note TRUANTr(Y).
>Morris_Greenberg: ?EEEIIR 14H .EI +11 132
#note I kind of wanted to play EER(I)E just to flaunt the E's to Joel, but II? leave is too meh.
>Joel_Horn: FO 12N OF +10 201
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AEEINR 9H AlIENER +62 194
#note I initially played ARENItE in this spot, but it was a bit too out there. I realized about a second after I hit my clock that 7H would've been better for going for the X, since it is unlikely he held it the previous turn.
>Joel_Horn: AEGIRSU N2 SUGARIE. +72 273
>Morris_Greenberg: AINNOTX 15J NONTAX +45 239
#note Quackle prefers AX or OX at 12K or M6, probably for the leave sake. I wanted to keep row 2 open for bingos at the time, but the 12K spot has merits.
>Joel_Horn: DLV K8 V.LD +16 289
>Morris_Greenberg: AGIILMS 4L MI.G +20 259
#note Maybe I(G)G instead? Tough choice.
>Joel_Horn: HOT 3K THO. +25 314
>Morris_Greenberg: ACIKLSZ 2J ZA +33 292
#note I realized that my best option was likely going to be playing KA 7C eventually to create a bingo lane for O or S. However, I am rarely bingoing with CILSZ, and it is much easier for Joel to block within 2 turns than within 1. So, playing this off first serves a very useful purpose of both scoring AND keeping the possibility open of creating a lane if I land an A.
>Joel_Horn: BG 8M B.G +22 336
>Morris_Greenberg: ACIKLMS 7C MA +12 304
#note This serves the purpose of creating a diversion to the row 6 spot, and it also gives me an outside shot of some bingos. Quackle prefers K(ID) 6D, but I think this is wrong against a human opponent; row 6 is a LOT juicier than KID -> SKID as a lane, but MA-> AMA or OMA is juicier than row 6. This is a better combination of having Joel not block a lane, and giving myself an okay shot of hitting it.
>Joel_Horn: ADEHIOP 6B IOD.. +20 356
>Morris_Greenberg: CCEIKLS 6H CLICKE.S +68 372
>Joel_Horn: AEEHNPT 1K PEA +11 367
#note PHEN(OM) C2 and PENT 9A are the only wins Quackle found. HEN 9B requires me finding ISBA/S(HEN).
