>Orry_Swift: EEFFORR 8C OFFERER +84 84
>Joshua_Sokol: ABCDEHW F6 DW.EB +21 21
#note completely missing B(O)WHEAD for 46, already feeling like I'm going to lose
>Orry_Swift: IQ E5 QI +25 109
>Joshua_Sokol: ACDEHTU 7B UH +18 39
#note the other UH is easier to overlap/underlap and block partially, Quackle assesses that it is 2 points worse but this is clearly heresy
>Orry_Swift: ABEY 11D ABYE +33 142
>Joshua_Sokol: AACDERT H2 ACERAT.D +62 101
>Orry_Swift: GHOSY A4 YOGHS +57 199
>Joshua_Sokol: AMNOSTT 1E ATOM +60 161
#note I chickened out of TOMAN here, which really annoys me. It's clearly a notch above the rest of the options.
>Orry_Swift: AEGP 12A PAGE +24 223
>Joshua_Sokol: EINRSTT J2 RETINTS +75 236
>Orry_Swift: IINP B10 PI.NI +26 249
>Joshua_Sokol: EINOORS A12 .ION +22 258
#note played this too quick, he just played two I's, I can keep mine.
>Orry_Swift: ?AENNTU 12G TUNNAgE +66 315
#note he hesitated to play this and I was already unsure because TONNAGE and DUNNAGE were already words, so I really didn't like it, and I realized that if this wasn't a word and he challenged REVISOR/TUNNAGES he could then block OV(E)R(T)IRES but if it was good he might sacrifice a lot to block the openings he created and I could just bingo and it would be an even game. Given all of this I made the decision to snap-challenge.
>Joshua_Sokol: EIORRSV - +0 258
>Orry_Swift: ADEGIOT M8 GAIT.D +18 333
#note had I played REVISOR/TUNNAgE he would have a playable GODETIA, however perhaps I would have drawn into something myself.

He indeed sacrificed a lot of equity here to block stuff long-term, so things are not too bad

>Joshua_Sokol: EIORRSV 4F OV.R.IRES +74 332
>Orry_Swift: EJLLO 2B JELLO +34 367
>Joshua_Sokol: AAILNOW 3L AWOL +28 360
#note but now I'm just pretty sunk unless I draw the blank.
>Orry_Swift: DELU 2J .ULED +29 396
>Joshua_Sokol: AIKNUXZ K11 K.NZU +36 396
#note can't actually find a play that wins here if Orry plays perfectly. Thought this might do the trick if I drew the blank but he has M(U)COSE and CESI(U)M which outrun everything.
>Orry_Swift: ?CEIMSV 15J C.VeES +42 438
