>Jason: DIIO F6 IODI. +10 161
>Mack: ADMNRTU E3 DUNAM +22 127
#note N13 MUD is an unnecessary risk, I'm not down by that much - going for turnover here with DUNAM looks good.

>Jason: ERY N13 YER +21 275
>Mack: EGHLLOO G1 HO.EL +27 335
#note Considered this, M3 OOH, and M1 LOGO and HOLO, missed D8 HOLLOA - this looks OK, scores the best and LOG isn't the worst leave after HOVEL, I have GOX as a backup and will often draw stuff like M2 GLOP or maybe even a bingo next turn. There is something to be said for blocking column N with LOGO, but I didn't feel I was up enough to play too defensively - a big Z play after LOGO or bingos through the O, U, or R could easily bring Jason right back into the lead.
>Jason: ?AEIRTZ N2 AZuRITE +89 364
>Mack: GLLOQTW O8 GLOW +36 371
#note My situation is actually a lot better than it looks - the LAZURITE hook is very hard for Jason to block without risking being outrun otherwise, and I have a lot of potential to draw plays like KELT for 50+ there which will often win even if I have to waste a tempo in the endgame dropping the Q for 11.
>Jason: B 2F B.. +28 392
>Mack: EKLNPQT 1L KELP +61 432
#note Best play, wins 4/8 with an E or I draw (an E draw gives me 5K Q(U)E(R)N, and an I draw gives me 5K Q(U)I(R)T or C2 Q(U)INT). Playing 5K QUERN first never wins since Jason can block 1L plays and save a high-scoring out and win if I draw a vowel. Unfortunately the vowel draw was not meant to be:
>Jason: EEEIMNS 12A NEEM +24 416
#note Nice finish by Jason - he needs to play SIRE/NEEM or SERE/MIEN in either order to win.
>Mack: NQST C2 S.Q +12 444
>Jason: EIS 15L SI.E +29 445
#note I challenged GLIFFS since it was a free challenge but I was 99.99% sure it took an S anyway. Great game, well played Jason
>Jason: (NT) +4 449
