>Jack_Peters: GUV 8G GUV +14 14
>Joshua_Sokol: DEMNTTU H7 T.TU +4 4
#note M(U)T was an idea, I don't remember considering DU(V)ET, not sure I thought about (U)T, I wasn't happy with much, but decided this was decent, probably better than T(U)TUED, and it reduced his options a bunch if he doesn't have an S. I'm kind of in need of an S here anyway.
>Jack_Peters: BU G6 BU. +10 24
>Joshua_Sokol: DDEMNOS 11F DESMOND +77 81
#note liked that I drew an S, and this fit the story of T(U)TU very well, so a challenge was less likely to occur than normal. Also this might have been a word
>Jack_Peters: EEILPRS 12A REPLIES +75 99
>Joshua_Sokol: AEGHJOY 10J JOEY +60 141
>Jack_Peters: IO 13C OI +14 113
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEGHLM A11 G.AMA +24 165
#note I remember seeing HA(E)MAL here and deciding it was too risky given Jack's last play. AGLEAM 14A may be worth 14 extra points however, and HA(E)MAL is probably OK, I'm not super far ahead yet.
>Jack_Peters: EIOTY 14A .OIETY +46 159
#note instaregret, nice find
>Joshua_Sokol: AEHIILT 12L HILI +30 195
#note now I feel obligated to open the 3x3 when I could have done so last turn.
>Jack_Peters: ACGKLRZ 15D FIORE +54 213
>Jack_Peters: ACGKLRZ -- -54 159
#note huge break
>Joshua_Sokol: AAAENTT O8 TAEN.A +18 213
>Jack_Peters: AEFILO 14J FOLIAE +41 200
#note this looked really odd, but I actually convinced myself it was valid after a while, but also I pretty much just win now
>Joshua_Sokol: ADDETWX 15G DEWAX +62 275
>Jack_Peters: IORV M6 IVOR. +16 216
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ACDTTZ 6L T.Z +32 307
#note ok now is when I probably just win
>Jack_Peters: ACPR F4 CRAP +21 237
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AACDOT 4C sTA.CADO +76 383
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AACDOT -- -76 307
#note ugh, I knew there was a 50% chance this was valid but figured he would almost always challenge, so I shouldn't have gone for it. STOCCADO is good.
>Jack_Peters: FN 8L F.N. +11 248
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AACDOT 4C COA.T +18 325
#note now I have absolutely no clue, hated CA(C)AO, need to keep a vowel here to prevent bad scenarios, just trying to outrun and keep options open
>Jack_Peters: IK 5D KI. +24 272
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADILOR K13 L.. +10 335
#note this one hurt as well. I really don't want to draw the Q, but if I do, I want to be able to not empty the bag if he plays a bingo, so playing off one tile seemed best, since I can play QI (hopefully at 5K) and leave one in the bag if he plays a bingo. 15D DO and 4C (COACT)OR seem to be the other candidate plays. This might not be great, but it accomplished a bunch of stuff.
>Jack_Peters: ENNRRSU J2 RUNNERS +69 341
#note instaregret again of not playing COACTOR
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADHIOR 4C .....IO. +13 348
#note this is really tough now. The other blank is still out there and now the Q is very valuable. I tried to block the worst of the Q stuff while keeping an outrunnable leave, though this sets up plays like B(U)NGEE for 31 which might outrun me.

Quackle sees and prefers HO(T) L4 which also blocks Q stuff while leaving me more likely to bingo out.
>Jack_Peters: BEEEGQS - +0 341
#note challenged out of desperation. Little did he know
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADHNRW H1 RAW.N +24 372
#note the blank was the last tile in the bag... Time is very low on both ends here. If the Q is in the bag this loses as it gives him BESIEGE(R)!, but he mustn't have that rack after a challenge? He would have BERGERES too. Still, I need to make a better play, like W(U)D 3I, but I think I ran out of time here.
>Jack_Peters: BEEEGQS L2 BEGE. +16 357
>Joshua_Sokol: ??DH M1 DoH +25 397
#note went over. -6 to M2 oH/eH/aH
>Jack_Peters: EQS 3F SE. +19 376
>Joshua_Sokol: ? J10 ..e +9 406
#note I almost played OKS* with my last rack... Went over by over a minute. TIZz is the highest-scoring
>Joshua_Sokol: (Q) +20 426
