>Joshua_Sokol: ?AHNSUV K5 VAUS +26 26
#note J3 VANqU(I)SH #findinglarge

He took over 3 minutes on his opening move, I should have seen all the possible 8s since there are only 3... Just saw UNSHAVEN and UNSHAVED fuck
>Matt_Graham: OU I8 .OU +7 29
>Joshua_Sokol: ?DHHMNX J10 HM +28 54
>Matt_Graham: DENOR 11G NOR.ED +25 54
#note this was pretty annoying. I remembered one of ADMNOR and DEMNOR had one more anagram than the other. I only saw RODMAN and missed RANDOM, since I just can't see the word RANDOM, and so I thought that RODMEN and MODERN were the only two anagrams. So fucking stupid.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?DEEHNX - +0 54
#note still in a crushing position I guess
>Matt_Graham: OY 12G OY +20 74
#note Matt had an explanation for this, though it is 16 less than other options, which is a lot to give up.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?DEEHNX 12K HEX +37 91
#note missed H10 H(OY)DEN which if I see I should play instantly because it will tilt the hell out of Matt. It's also probably best? #findingsmall
>Matt_Graham: ?AELNST 6F ELAST.Ne +61 135
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADENTT 5C DeNTATE +72 163
#note didn't think I needed to open a triple here and take 2 points for it, might lead to a lot of variance. Maybe ANT(e)DATe M3 is fine
>Matt_Graham: EIL 13L LIE +28 163
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEEFJM O13 FEM +31 194
#note Probably go aggro with 4B JEFE. He seemed weak but I still wanted to make sure a good draw didn't hurt too much #questionable
>Matt_Graham: EGIIRR C3 RI.GIER +22 185
>Joshua_Sokol: DEIJNUW 8A JE.D +42 236
>Matt_Graham: OOPV M2 POOV. +18 203
>Joshua_Sokol: EINOPUW N1 WIPE +32 268
>Matt_Graham: AD L4 DA. +25 228
>Joshua_Sokol: ANOQTUZ 4A QU.NOA +57 325
#note might be better to play short with QU(I)T to keep good tiles. #questionable
>Matt_Graham: ARTY O3 TRAY +19 247
>Joshua_Sokol: EEIIOTZ 1N .E +15 340
#note really worried about ES(TRAY)ED and ES(TRAY)ING. Felt like I could outrun most else. Keeping TIZ F12 for next turn. This obviously appears to be a huge mistake but I doubt it.
>Matt_Graham: CIN A1 CIN. +45 292
#note but then there's this. Matt had a bingo here though, as he mentioned later. He missed it.
>Joshua_Sokol: EIIOSTZ F12 TIZ +38 378
#note omg
>Matt_Graham: AAGR 14D GA.AR +15 307
>Joshua_Sokol: EGIIORS 15A GIRO +22 400
#note tried to calculate everything here, it appeared that I couldn't necessarily outrun (C)OWBELLS/BELLOWS 15G with (OY)E(R) H13. In effect, my time-troubled calculation was actually correct. If he has BELLOSW, OY(E)R is only a 4/5 win. Since I didn't know if that was the only loss after (OY)E(R) and OYER was really bad on spread, I decided to go for the obvious play here. It blocks all of the J bingos that I didn't calculate, though they probably all lose to OYER because they use up all the remaining vowels. The problem is that GIRO is only a 50% win if Matt has BELLOWS, and is very likely to lose to BECLOWN (4/5), by far the biggest threat in the position. GIRO also loses 4/5 to WEBCAST. GIRO appears to beat everything else. OYER might be better than GIRO. Upon further analysis, (OY)E(R) is probably best, though I haven't looked through all the fishes Matt could make thereafter. I am a bit upset that I didn't play it. #strategylarge
>Matt_Graham: ELLW 15G WELL +32 339
>Joshua_Sokol: CEINOSS 1A .ONCISES +95 495
>Joshua_Sokol: CEINOSS -- -95 400
#note decided it was worth a shot. Trainwreck of a game
>Matt_Graham: ABBT B7 B.AT +14 353
#note F3 B(ATE) is one point better
>Joshua_Sokol: CEINOSS 11B SICE +19 419
#note -4 SCONES, SCIIONS, ICONES 3E.
