>Dan: ACDH 8F CHAD +20 20
>Avery: EELMOPY 7H POLYEME +76 76
#note I could've sworn I saw POLYEME*/EMPLOYE as a pair. It's POLYENE and EMPLOYE only.
>Dan: ADN 8M AND +18 38
>Avery: HIINORT 6N HI +27 103
#note A major weakness of my studying routine involves the occasional memorization of alphagrams rather than the words. I knew that CHINOORT had a solution (ORTHICON) and thought I may be confusing that with CHIINORT. ORNITHIC is clearly a word and I should play that.
Edit: While ORNITHIC is still the right play, he would have had SENATORS for 131, so I dodged a bullet.
>Dan: AENRSST 9H SARSNET +82 120
#note Nice play by Dan.
>Avery: FIINORT F5 FRI.TION +67 170
>Dan: AGT E11 GAT +16 136
>Avery: EJNRUVZ D12 REZ +32 202
#note Missing quite a few better plays here like ERUV, but I like how this cripples this area. Still a mistake, though.
>Dan: IQ E4 QI +32 168
>Avery: BEJNUVX L4 JUB. +26 228
>Dan: AEG 14B GA.E +33 201
>Avery: ACEFNVX A13 FAX +54 282
>Dan: PT C13 P.T +20 221
>Avery: ?CELNOV K9 .LOVEN +18 300
#note I figured Dan may not be confident enough to put an S on this, so the hook is likely to stay untouched if I draw an S. He's almost surely close to a bingo as well, so his options involving the GATE hooks are now gone if he won't put an S on SLOVEN. He obviously can land 8s through the floaters I'm giving, but if he misses on this turn, I can block the next turn and my lead's going to be too much for him to surmount. I'm fine with this play.
>Dan: OT M3 TO +13 234
>Avery: ?ACEIUV 12I VI.ACE +28 328
>Dan: AGO 9C GOA. +7 241
>Avery: ?AEILRU 14H RUI.AbLE +68 396
#note I saw qUAL(IF)IER, but this is obviously safer.
>Dan: DOW N2 DOW +29 270
>Avery: BEINOSW O1 BOWS +54 450
>Dan: EY 15G YE +21 291
>Avery: EEIKNSU D5 KUE +17 467
#note I wasn't sure if VIVACE took an S or not, but this is good to block the last real bingo line.
>Dan: NU C7 NU. +8 299
>Avery: DEEIINS 15N ID +20 487
#note His biggest threat now is MOIL for 43, so I have to block that.
>Dan: ?ILORRT 5K R.T +9 308
>Avery: EEIMNS G3 MISE +22 509
#note Best.
>Dan: ?ILOR G11 OIL +12 320
>Avery: EN H3 EN +10 519
>Avery: (?R) +2 521
