>Joshua_Sokol: DEEENOS -EE +0 0
#note I guess OE might have been OK to play here. Exchanging OE is significantly better than my exchange. I always get EE vs EO wrong. DENOS forms more words but DEENS hits a bingo more often due to the likelier draws
>David_Boys: COW 8G COW +16 16
>Joshua_Sokol: DEHLNOS F2 HONDLES +80 80
#note this time I lucked out, DEEHLNS would have been unplayable. I overscored this play by 3 and convinced myself it was better to play on the left side because it would be very difficult to block the S(COWS) hook if I played on the right.
>David_Boys: ?CDENOS J2 CODEiNS +75 91
#note CoNDOES would score two more
>Joshua_Sokol: AGPQRTY 3I P.RGY +28 108
#note I could also play 4C TRA(N)Q and make this game heavily dependent on who draws the next S, but I had the ridiculous notion that I could afford to play something less variant but slightly worse in equity.
>David_Boys: GILNNOW G8 .LOWNING +66 157
>Joshua_Sokol: AAIOQST 5D QA.I +28 136
#note now I pay the price for keeping the Q.
>David_Boys: EGIIKNR 12D REI.KING +86 243
#note who am I kidding
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEOSTT 15G .OATEE +24 160
>David_Boys: AAU D4 A.UA +26 269
>Joshua_Sokol: BDEMOST 8A DOBE +39 199
#note hoped that he would get a little feisty and challenge. He didn't like this but let it go, somewhat reluctantly but consciously.
>David_Boys: ?IIORST A8 .IORITeS +77 346
>Joshua_Sokol: IMNSTUX 14J UNMIX +42 241
#note lots of Ts left but I think I have to gamble at this point. Other gambling option is 2M MUX. Not sure what would have happened if I had done that instead. Some of his racks don't belnd with that X very well
>David_Boys: EOTV O12 VETO +48 394
>Joshua_Sokol: AFIPRST 5J .F +10 251
#note shrug, trying to slow him down somehow
>David_Boys: BFU L5 FUB +17 411
>Joshua_Sokol: AIPRSTT 8L SPIT +31 282
#note damn, PATRI(O)TS plays through the O. Toughie, but I should have seen it. Maybe I make a 1/400 draw next turn and win
>David_Boys: AH 13M HA. +31 442
>Joshua_Sokol: AADELRT 11E DA. +22 304
#note hope he doesn't have the J yet
>David_Boys: JL F10 J..L +54 496
>Joshua_Sokol: AEEILRT O2 LITERA.E +59 363
>David_Boys: AEERRTU 1L UREA +42 538
#note best
>Joshua_Sokol: AEMVYZ C1 MAZY +41 404
>David_Boys: ERT B10 RET +13 551
#note gave him a better outplay. This guy hasn't played or cared about Scrabble in 6 years and he's still sharp as a kite. Such a pleasure to get to play Dave.
>David_Boys: (EV) +10 561
