>Joshua_Sokol: ?AEFLPT H4 FLEAPiT +80 80
>Don_Finkey: UX G9 XU +35 35
>Joshua_Sokol: AABEEMQ F10 BEMA +25 105
#note When you bingo and then draw an unplayable Q, it's as if you scored like 30 points on your first move instead of 80.

I wanted to leave options for next turn, but I should just play ABEAM G2. I considered BEAM to set ABEAM up, but not ABEAM for long enough. This seemed better than MABE to not leave an S-hook that might stay open and to perhaps induce BEMAH*. #tacticssmall
>Don_Finkey: AGN E9 GAN +18 53
>Joshua_Sokol: AELOQTT 7G Q.T +23 128
>Don_Finkey: ?EGIOPS 5D SPOI.aGE +90 143
#note his best plays took a suspenseful amount of time to be made, each time knocking me down a notch.
>Joshua_Sokol: AELOOTW 6E OW +30 158
#note ugh this position sucked
>Don_Finkey: OWY 4K YOW +23 166
>Joshua_Sokol: ADEELOT 3I ELATED +34 192
#note nothing great dig for here, or rather, too much bad versus only some good. Better to just score a few lesss and keep a bit better with OLDE 3J. #strategysmall #findingsmall
>Don_Finkey: BU 9C BU. +9 175
>Joshua_Sokol: CGKNORZ D1 ZONK. +56 248
>Don_Finkey: AEINRSU 1B SU.ERAIN +101 276
#note after 4 minutes when this came down, I was feeling pretty crushed. Am I going to crash and burn at Lake George again?
>Joshua_Sokol: CDEGHIR 12C RHE.IC +37 285
#note a rare purposeful phony from yours truly, but I was so tilted here.

I should think about the position here and play 2M DIG. This is still not the best play. #strategysmall
>Don_Finkey: EEJ 2M JEE +39 315
#note :(
>Joshua_Sokol: DDGIIRY 3A DYI.G +20 305
#note DYEINGS vs DINGEYS against Wally, now DI(N)GY vs DYI(N)G vs Don. I got both of them wrong. Thought I needed a floater. #tacticssmall
>Don_Finkey: AIIIII -AIIIII +0 315
>Joshua_Sokol: AADIIRS H12 .AID +21 326
#note yay I got CAID vs CADI right?
>Don_Finkey: HO 2A OH +31 346
#note this really might be why DYING was wrong. I mean DYING is always wrong. But. Yeah.
>Joshua_Sokol: AINRRST O1 R. +6 332
#note ugh is this what this game has come to? Making a fish you think is stronger than it actually is because you failed to track a few As?
>Don_Finkey: IN I13 IN +8 354
>Joshua_Sokol: ACINRST 8A CRAN +28 360
#note the highest static play is SUZERAINS for 18. I preferred to think CRAN* was a word again. Lucky lucky Don didn't challenge it. CARN KARN
>Don_Finkey: IU 8H .IU +7 361
>Joshua_Sokol: AEISTTV A8 .AVETTI +13 373
#note I did not think I would get away with VITTAS 14A here, but I knew I had to complicate and block.
>Don_Finkey: AEIMNRS J10 MAINS +23 384
#note luckily Don was low on time and botched this one up. 13A (T)REM would be the play.
>Joshua_Sokol: EFOOSTV K9 VOE +20 393
#note After TREM, I would have to find EF B7 over OF, to set up OV(ER), perhaps, to win in the endgame.

For some reason Quackle can't find this play in the endgame, but it's 8 worse than 7B OF setting up STOVE 6K. #endgamemedium
>Don_Finkey: DELLORR C11 D.OLL +12 396
>Joshua_Sokol: FOST 6K SOFT +16 409
>Joshua_Sokol: (ERR) +6 415
#note Don went over by 1 minute. 415-386
