>Mack: EIIMNRV H4 MINIVER +80 80
>Matt: AAELPTY 4D PLAY.ATE +80 80
>Mack: AAGIOOQ J2 QA. +32 112
>Matt: AITW 5C WAIT +24 104
>Mack: ADGILOO K2 ID.AL +26 138
#note Quackle despises this, but I think it's fine - GOO isn't a good leave but the PLAYMATES spot is quite dangerous and IDEAL does as good a job of blocking it as I can while scoring a lot in the process. I saw GEOIDAL but it leaves lots of stuff like ZEES there and also puts an A in a dangerous spot at K8. Maybe a #strategysmall, but I still think my play is ideal.
>Matt: EKSU 11E KUES +29 133
>Mack: CGIOORZ 12A CORGI +28 166
>Matt: ENRSSTT B7 STENT.RS +70 203
>Mack: AEFGHOZ A6 ZOA +44 210
#note Seems convincingly better than ZOEA to keep 3I FADGE and at minimum a vowel for insurance if I have a bad draw.
>Matt: IOR A12 .OIR +22 225
>Mack: ?EFGHNX 3I F..GE +37 247
#note Waffled between this and I3 GANEF, ultimately settling on this to entirely eliminate PLAYMATES and figuring I have a good chance to bingo with FADGE(D/S) soon with blank in hand. They sim neck and neck.
>Matt: ADHORSU 13E DHOURAS +71 296
>Matt: ADHORSU -- -71 225
>Mack: ?CHNUVX 9G V.X +25 272
>Matt: ADHORSU C9 HOA.S +43 268
#note Huge break here, as Matt plays the wrong spelling of DOURAHS then chickens out of the valid one.
>Mack: ?ACEHNU J7 UNtEACH +76 348
#note Only bingo.
>Matt: DPUU N1 PUDU +26 294
>Mack: BEFINY 1L YI.E +39 387
#note Don't remember my last tile - it was either another E or the blank. Either way YIPE looks best.
>Matt: EMORT O4 METRO +37 331
>Mack: ?BEFNNO N8 BONNE +13 400
#note I thought I could get into some trouble if I did something like 13E FON and Matt hit column N hard and I couldn't bingo back. I figured with BONNE if Matt bingos on column L, and probably even with something like NEIGHBOR through the H, I can outrun him with a play with my F at O12. And if Matt plays at O12, I should be able to either bingo myself or block most or all of his possible bingos with a parallel on column N. Quackle still prefers stuff that leaves column N open but I think it's imperative to block it here.
>Matt: ABG G1 GAB. +13 344
>Mack: ?DDEFTW 1D FaD.ED +45 445
#note This forces him to have M9 JOINER to bomb the J, whereas O12 WEFT still allows JOINER as well as JINGO or JINGLE through the G.
>Matt: EEIJNOR M9 JOINER +65 409
>Mack: ILLOTW O12 WILL +43 488
#note Played over WILT because I'm much more of a Will Anderson fan than a Wilt Chamberlain fan.
>Matt: E G9 .E. +8 417
>Matt: (OT) +4 421
