>JD: ACEJPRY 8D JAPERY +52 52
>Terry_Kang_Rau: ILORZ 9C ZORIL +43 43
>JD: ACMOORT H1 MOTORCA. +89 141
#note woof, I nearly missed this! put down ORCA and then picked it up in a panic.
>Terry_Kang_Rau: DIIM 10G MIDI +14 57
>JD: ADFGLPY 11B GADFLY +37 178
#note or just FAG at 10B for 37 which bingos less but scores well next turn.
>Terry_Kang_Rau: CEIIRST K5 RICIEST +94 151
>JD: ?EGOOPQ 6J Q. +31 209
#note I decided to fish the Q because I could see a decent number of bingos I could draw (GONOPORE, GEOPROBE, etc).
>Terry_Kang_Rau: DEHHNST -DEH +0 151
>JD: ?BEGOOP 12A GOBO +31 240
#note no GEOPROBE for me. I kept the P since I figured the PRICIEST hook would be useful if I don't draw a bingo.
>Terry_Kang_Rau: EIRSSTT 13D SITTERS +63 214
#note METRISTS!
>JD: ?AEEGNP 2F PE.NAGEs +68 308
#note the only bingo, surprisingly. I was OK with opening 1L since H12 was open already also.
>Terry_Kang_Rau: DNV H12 V.ND +36 250
>JD: AAHLNNS 1J NAHALS +54 362
>JD: BEEEENN (challenge) +5 367
#note no LANGSHAN for me.
>Terry_Kang_Rau: KNOW 3J WONK +50 300
>JD: BEEEENN 14B BEEN +19 386
#note didn't mind setting up a low-key hotspot with DOSEH, which isn't easy to think of. but maybe BENDEE at 15E is more proactive, closing down another dangerous lane at 15H. that said, if I stop scoring too much, I make it easier for her to chase me down.
>Terry_Kang_Rau: ADEFIRT 5A DRAFTIE. +74 374
>JD: EEINUUX 4B UNI +20 406
#note oof, this was a TOUGH endgame. I figured try to hold the X for 15C if I draw a consonant, block some cheap scoring plays on column A. There is some merit to exchanging because there are two more Us unseen!
>Terry_Kang_Rau: EHLO A5 .HOLE +27 401
>JD: AEEIUUX 15G A.IEU +6 412
#note interesting, I failed to draw a consonant. now what? this wins 3/8 endgames technically, but also gives me a nice shot if I draw the A for EAUX or if I draw the W, in which case she has to find SUBOVATE for the win. The best play is simply XI at 15A, which keeps an atrocious leave but wins a lot of close endgame simply because it covers the only good scoring spot on the board, and I often end up winning by a couple of points because Terry can't outrun me!
>Terry_Kang_Rau: ?AEOTUW 15A WOT +24 425
#note after I draw the V, Terry has no way of winning.
>JD: EUVX L13 VEX +43 455
#note should play at 3E to block AGUE/ANA/GIF/PE at 3C!
>Terry_Kang_Rau: ?AEU 1C bEAU +8 433
