>Michael_Fagen: AEGINOS J2 AGONIES +65 132
#note he probably needs to go with (C)OINAGES 6H here
>Joshua_Sokol: DIIMSTY J11 YID +20 264
#note missing MISTY(PE) and MISTY(PE)D here, but this might be better since it doesn't open the board. If this was a normaly game this might be a mistake

#note nice
>Joshua_Sokol: AEILMPT K3 AME.T +33 332
#note this was a bad move. I talked myself out of LIMPET being valid cause I thought I might be confusing it with LIMPEN* but I'm probably confusing LIMPENS* with PLENISM and LUMPEN. I definitely want to take the T out here as it's the best way for Michael to give himself a chance of winning by 194 to get a big bingo on row 1. The lanes I am giving back are a problem, but if I leave the T open and he hits it, it is far worse as he will be doing the same. I also just flat out missed PIMA L1 and also MA(K)I L4 although I saw MA(K)E. Silly manoeuvre here.
>Michael_Fagen: GINNT 12I ..NTING +20 201
>Joshua_Sokol: EILOOPW O12 .LOW +24 356
#note I just missed EPILO(G), sad. I first put down PI(N)OLE N10 but that seemed too risky with all the heavy-hitters out. (JXQFHVWY). I do have to play to block the G though, since 3x3s are still the biggest threat to me if I'm trying not to lose by 200,
>Michael_Fagen: EJ 1G JE. +30 231
>Joshua_Sokol: EGILOPR M9 LIR.OPE +20 376
#note now I see EPILOG on my rack, and it's not important, since I don't want to play it on column G and open the left side of the board for future business. Better to play as many tiles as possible and block the rest of the right side again. Maybe I'll draw a blank or a GLOW extension.
>Michael_Fagen: EEW K9 WEE. +26 257
>Joshua_Sokol: EEFGRTY 2L E.GY +18 394
#note at this point I know I've succeeded, I don't think it's possibly for him to win by 194 at this point. So I just decide to give everything up for as good of a shot as possible at extending GLOW.
>Michael_Fagen: IIX 5E IXI. +22 279
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEFORT O7 AFTER.... +48 442
>Michael_Fagen: ABCNOSU O1 B.RA +30 309
>Michael_Fagen: ABCNOSU -- -30 279
#note no challenge, but at least I got a turn back anyway
>Joshua_Sokol: DDEOOOU O1 D.ED +33 475
#note heh O(X)O just kills just about everything, nice. Just planning on exchanging next turn
>Michael_Fagen: ABRU F2 BRU. +19 298

>Michael_Fagen: ANV G12 VAN +18 316
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CEEHIS N14 HE +32 507
#note insane draw, now I'm bringing the real score within 4 points, so I probably have an edge to actually win this thing.
>Michael_Fagen: ?ILNORU N7 NOIR +21 337
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CEILOS E5 .SOCLInE +68 575
