>Joey: CGNNORT 8G CORN +12 12
>Joshua: EHINUVW J5 WHI. +18 18
#note WI(C)H blocks A(CORN), the most likely hook of CORN. It scores 1 less than WHI(N) but allows me to shed my UV more easily next turn, potentially with an E draw for VENUE for example. HU(N) sims best at J6. That's a tough move to make. #questionable
>Joey: DGINOTT 5H TO.ING +20 32
#note I didn't like the easy comebacks by DOIT or TOIT. GODWIT might be a slight improvement.
>Joshua: AEENUVV F5 UVEA +22 40
#note looking back at this position it has to be VAUN(T), no? Quackle agrees with my decision. Have I become soft in my ripe old age?
>Joey: DIOOPRT H1 DROP. +33 65
#note after VAUN(T) he gets P(A)ROTOID. Nice job me!
>Joshua: EEFLNTV 2F FE.VENT +23 63
#note wishing for a Y to extend this next turn
>Joey: EEIOOTT G8 .OOTIE +10 75
>Joshua: BGIJLNS F10 JIB +59 122
#note this is going as well as could be expected after such a slow start
>Joey: BEEMMTY 1L EMMY +39 114
>Joshua: AGILNSX E3 LAX +38 160
#note or AX if I'm feeling lucky
>Joey: ABELTTZ H12 BLAT +39 153
>Joshua: AEGINRS 15A RANGIES. +83 243
>Joey: AEGIITZ 14B ZA +46 199
>Joshua: EEFR I10 REEF +29 272
>Joey: EGIINTU L4 U.TIEING +70 269
#note Almost tieing the game up.
>Joshua: DEINOUW 14E OW +28 300
#note would rather play more tiles here, this might tilt things in favor of WUD 13C. That's 50% more tiles than I played. Can I weather the storm here? Game is pretty much even with no bingo lines and two blanks unseen. WUD and OW are flipflopping, I prefer WUD today. #questionable
>Joey: EHKOPRY D1 PREY +36 305
>Joshua: DEILNSU M9 DUI +16 316
>Joey: ?ACHKOR C3 CROAK +48 353
>Joshua: AEILNSS D6 SILANES +74 390
#note much better than SALINES to not give back the lane on column B and the Q spot at C9. Rare case where a minor adjustment is incredibly important. I am in good shape to win here, but there's a lot that can go wrong.
>Joey: ?EHOQTU N6 QUEsT +43 396
#note This is as close as I can get with perfect endgame play. But playing HO first makes is harder for him to figure out.
>Joshua: ?AADDLS O10 SADDLe +31 421
#note only win. Whew.
>Joey: HO C9 HO +20 416
>Joey: (A) +2 418
