>Matthew_Larocque: EEEGINW 8D WINGE +26 26
#note Thus far I had only played females! I didn't know WEEING or WEENIE, but holy crap *WINGE! This matters later.
>Connie_Creed: GOV 7C VOG +19 19
>Matthew_Larocque: AEEHSTW F8 .EW +14 40
#note WETA is 23, but I really like AEHST better than just EHS.
>Connie_Creed: ADIMO E10 AMIDO +21 40
>Matthew_Larocque: AAEEHST D10 HATE +34 74
#note Or THAE, HAE, D11 HAET.
>Connie_Creed: AILM 15E LIMA +27 67
>Matthew_Larocque: ADEFNSU I8 SNAFUED +73 147
#note This plays in two valid places, but I get away with *WINGES now! Lucky.
>Connie_Creed: ?DINSTT 13H D.NTISTs +66 133
#note Her only bingo.
>Matthew_Larocque: CCEEPTY O11 PE.TY +30 177
#note ECTYPE(s)!
>Connie_Creed: EINORST H1 SEROTIN. +77 210
>Matthew_Larocque: BCCEFOR C13 FOB +30 207
#note FOR(T)E is 42, but BCC makes me pause.
>Connie_Creed: EEY J9 EYE +34 244
>Matthew_Larocque: CCEEORR 1A COERCER. +89 296
#note One of the more improbable natural bingos I'll ever play.
>Connie_Creed: IL 15A LI. +15 259
#note Based on her next play, I'm guessing her rack was AIILLPR or AIILLOR.

>Matthew_Larocque: ADJQUVZ L11 QU.Z +44 340
>Connie_Creed: AILOPRU 5H .ROUPIAL +70 329
#note Nice!
>Matthew_Larocque: ADHJRSV N2 RAJ.H +46 386
#note Somehow I knew SWARAJ but not SVARAJ. Geez.

>Connie_Creed: BOO O3 BO.O +26 355
>Matthew_Larocque: DSVX 14E .X +50 436
#note Missed rack.
>Connie_Creed: INU M9 UNI +15 370
>Matthew_Larocque: ADGNRSV D6 V.. +9 445
#note I was getting tense here. I can't deal with the entire quadrant, so emptying the bag is death. Hoping my setup can squeak me ahead if she bingos.
>Connie_Creed: A D5 A... +10 380
>Matthew_Larocque: ADGKNRS C3 DAK +22 467
#note According to my tracking, she had EEEILT?, so I see sTEELIE(R) and block that. She also would have had (C)LEvEITE but I didn't know it. Plus LEE(R)IEsT would still fit anyways.

However I just now realize what happened. When she played EYE I wrote down AYE and tracked it as such. So her rack is actually much more flexible.

Champ says there's nothing I can do, so I need to max out spread with M1 DAK for 36, which was initially going to be my play until she fished again.

In my attempt to block, I almost lost the game. I should have did the math and realized that DAK for 36 will outrun her.
>Connie_Creed: ?AEEILT 3E LEA.IEsT +59 439
#note A friend of hers immediately points out her winning play of CELIbATE (or the anagram). Yikes! She couldn't pull the trigger, but she had nothing to lose but spread by attempting it.

A very fortunate turn of events for myself.
>Connie_Creed: (GRNS) +10 449
