>Adam_Ginzberg: AEELNO J2 LOANEE +23 45
>Joshua_Sokol: ?DEFMRS 11A DEFoRMS +82 153
#note missing SERFDOM, the anagram. I was playing around this turn, that'll teach me to kick a man when he's down
>Adam_Ginzberg: AGUY A8 GAU.Y +42 87
>Joshua_Sokol: EINORTU 2G OUT.INER +66 219
#note lots of bingo bangos this tournament
>Adam_Ginzberg: ADQ H1 Q.AD +48 135
>Joshua_Sokol: BCILOST 5C CIBOLS +35 254
#note probably a good time to go for spread and fish with 9F B(OXY)? Not against Adam though, he's never out for the count
>Adam_Ginzberg: ?DENRRV D1 REDR.VeN +76 211
>Joshua_Sokol: IIOOTTW 6D .OW +34 288
>Adam_Ginzberg: DJR K1 J.RD +17 228
>Joshua_Sokol: GIIIOTT 1B TO.II +5 293
>Adam_Ginzberg: GNP D10 P.NG +12 240
#note the thing that killed me is that JIRD could have been a Z setup even though it didn't seem like his body language indicated this. But I still didn't know if he had the Z because he might still have all consonants with the Z.
>Joshua_Sokol: EGIIOTU 3A GUI.E +14 307
#note missing 3B GO(D)ETI(A) for 23, although IU is just not good enough for those extra points, it would seem. GI(G)UE sims better because the lane it creates is just worse than the one that's already there if he plays something with PONGS or PONGO.
>Adam_Ginzberg: IIII -IIII +0 240
#note how does he have to exchange after I've been sifting through all of this crap. The Truth is unlucky.
>Joshua_Sokol: EIINOTT 1K .ETON +46 353
>Adam_Ginzberg: AHLS B10 H.ALS +50 290
#note and yet he is still very much in the game
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEIITV 4J ..VICE +26 379
#note I could not leave that Z spot open any longer. Except I could have and should have with 13B (L)I(G)ATIVE. However that creates a less manageable board if he wants to bingo out, and I might not have enough counter-scoring to deal with that. Hmm. What is your advice?
>Adam_Ginzberg: FNU C7 FUN +21 311
>Joshua_Sokol: AAAHILT C13 AHI +25 404
#note I spent a ton of time here looking at AHA, and it seemed to tie if he had (A)WAITERS and ZE was in the bag, and win all the other times. I couldn't see a way that AHI lost. Maybe if he plays SWEATER/KAES and draws OZ? I'm up 15 in the endgame, I block (C)OZ with (C)ILIATE and win

But I missed that he could have (E)ROTIZES and draw the W and win. Aha. Ahi!

Perhaps in that case A2 A(G)ITA is better... Unsure.
>Adam_Ginzberg: AEEIORZ F11 .OI +5 316
>Joshua_Sokol: AAALTWZ O3 L.Z +12 416
#note Z(E)TA is 3 points better, I thought maybe it would be worse because it would give him nice ways to go out with his S.
>Adam_Ginzberg: EEEIRST 4F TE. +12 328
#note 4F (Fe)TE is the same idea with 4 more points
>Joshua_Sokol: AAATW A14 AW +21 437
>Adam_Ginzberg: EEIRS K7 SIREE +18 346
>Adam_Ginzberg: (AAT) +6 352
