>Russell_Honeybun: JOT 8G JOT +20 20
>JD: ?EEEGHI I4 EIGH.EEn +66 66
#note I knew from watching his other games that Russell was going to play really fast.
>Russell_Honeybun: ?IIPRTU 4C PURITI.s +70 90
#note PITURIS is 9 more
>JD: EEELOYY 3C OYE +27 93
>Russell_Honeybun: AIOOTV 11C OVATIO. +18 108
>JD: CEELMSY C10 C.MELY +26 119
#note I think I would've missed MYCELES had he not blocked it. after that I wasn't confident enough about MOYLES to play it. CLOYE or MYC are both stronger plays than COMELY.
>Russell_Honeybun: HW 15A WH. +36 144
>JD: EEGGQRS 5C EGG +30 149
>Russell_Honeybun: CDLOU 14B C.OUD +38 182
>JD: ABDEQRS H1 QAD. +42 191
>Russell_Honeybun: BDELW H10 B.WLED +52 234
#note I had BOXERS lined up for 73, so this was a bit of a blow
>JD: ABEKRSX J8 AXES +50 241
#note with three esses unseen and no obvious spot for the S to go, I decided to take the 11 extra points. Quackle has it as a tossup.
>Russell_Honeybun: FFO 6E OFF +22 256
>JD: BEIKRTU 1H .UIRK +23 264
#note nowhere for BURKITE to go. this is actually really risky, setting up an S hook or a cheap QUIRKIER extension. I had doubts on BAUK being good and didn't want to chance it (it's good).
>Russell_Honeybun: NO K9 ON +18 274
>JD: BEIMSTZ M1 SITZ +45 309
#note his last play suggests a strong leave, probably with an S. I can play longer with BLITZES or something fishy like HM/MAXES going for huge BLITZERS/BLINTZES/KIBITZES plays. all 3 sim about even.
>Russell_Honeybun: ANOR L6 ROAN +16 290
#note interesting play since AZON is available. setting up an S on column M?
>JD: AABEMSU M9 SAUBA +29 338
>JD: EEEILMT (challenge) +5 343
#note some merit to BASE or MASA at M7 which set up scoring plays down from N10. I liked this because it blocks row 13 bingos.
>Russell_Honeybun: ANN 2H .NN +11 301
>JD: EEEILMT 15H .ELIME +12 355
#note not in the top 50 on static, but exactly the play I wanted here. leaves no bingos except for overlaps on column N (+ALLEVIANT as a disconnected 9 lol)
>Russell_Honeybun: A 4M .A +11 312
>JD: DEEILTV 3K LI.ED +8 363
#note again nowhere to be found in the top 50, but practically guarantees victory (if I draw NRRR it looks like the game is a tie)
>Russell_Honeybun: AINPRRS N11 PARR +22 334
#note optimal - dangerous for me
>JD: AENRTTV L11 TAV +33 396
#note I can actually lose from this position if I get fixated on blocking NIDS/ZAS, because he has an even better out - VINOS at D11 for 42! if I try to block with a play like NEATER at N2 that doesn't score enough, he will pip me. it was safest just to outrun (and also best for spread)
>Russell_Honeybun: INS O1 NI.S +31 365
#note ultimately he didn't see his best out!
>Russell_Honeybun: (ENRT) +8 373
