#note I forgot how much of a board control player I was, or maybe I just spaced on NESTLER.

With a specific bingo range, I think Chris would keep 3c1v more often than 2c2v, so throwing an E out there is unwise given that it's close to a tie game with a range inference. NESTLER may be better here #questionable

#note was quite concerned with blocking bingos as I remember over a year later. I mean obviously the idea that this is defensive is not a surprise, but I remember really wanting to block mostly row 10 but also to a lesser extent rows L and M given his consonanted range. It's interesting that I remember my feelings so much after the fact though. I know I sacrificed a bunch to do this.
>Chris_Tallman: ACDEOTU 2C EDUCATO. +67 126
#note and to see it not matter was really not fun
>Joshua_Sokol: AENNNNQ E1 Q.EAN +28 132
#note yeah, I probably kept like NEN last turn. Pretty rough position now having to retain NNN
>Chris_Tallman: PUY 1G YUP +39 165
>Joshua_Sokol: DFINNNO D4 FIND +28 160
#note yesss valuation on point, NNO over INN, classic me! +1
>Chris_Tallman: ?EEHIRR C7 ERRHInE +76 241
>Joshua_Sokol: AELNNOR 10F ALONE +23 183
#note in big trouble here, it was very tough to choose between B10 and 10F but considering now that they sim very close I am confident I chose correctly, to complicate the game.
>Chris_Tallman: AHIO B10 OHIA +24 265
>Joshua_Sokol: AAELNRV A7 VERNAL +45 228
>Chris_Tallman: EENRTU M8 NEUTER +21 286
>Joshua_Sokol: ADDOSUZ 12I ADOZ. +30 258
#note it was at this point that I should mention neither of us knew ERRHInE took an S.

DOZ(E)D looks better, since I can fork the board from column N whereas I can't after ADOZ(E). 1A AZO or ZOA sim decently but are not good plays. They allow Chris to play defensively.
>Chris_Tallman: ?BEIOSS 13E BOSSIEr +67 353
#note this confused mee, perhaps he missed things on column N
>Joshua_Sokol: DIIJRSU E11 JI. +24 282
#note not sure if I ever win
>Chris_Tallman: AM N10 MA +22 375
#note but he blunders and doesn't realize UMS is good
>Joshua_Sokol: DIKRSUY H13 .KY +30 312
#note this looked intuitive but it's honestly horrible, I can only hit UPGIRDS if he plays down column O, though he might not since he probably doesn't know UMS?
>Chris_Tallman: BOP O8 BOP +28 403
>Joshua_Sokol: DIIRSUV 1A VID +24 336
>Chris_Tallman: AGOTT 15D GOAT. +11 414
>Joshua_Sokol: IRSU B6 SIR +16 352
#note somehow missing I have given myself an out. -3
