>Ken: ?CDISUV 8G CUD +12 12
#note I prefer 8G CUD to 8G VID because CUD is more defensive. Also, I can put the S in front of or in back of CUD. Quackle agrees.

>Ken: AELOTUV 1E UVEA +23 265
#note 1E UVEA and B8 OUTLOVE look equally good. The V placement at B13 makes OUTLOVE very good. I'm not that worried about OUTLOVED because there isn't much that my opponent can do iwth that. Also, I can draw a D. With a lead, moving the game forward faster isn't a bad idea. Also OUTLOVED is defensive because it blocks A and B line bingos, and prevents an ING bingo on line 15.
>Ross_Brown: INNPY 14F PI.NY +35 250
>Ken: AEGLOOT 15A GELATO +28 293
>Ross_Brown: OX 5I .OX +24 274
>Ken: BEEGKOT 13J BEGOT +23 316
#note Quackle also likes 12A KETONE for 30. There doesn't seem to be a great blocking play for L5 COXA. This was a good play by Ross to put me under pressure.
>Ross_Brown: AEEILRT N7 LITERA.E +70 344
>Ken: AEEIKOS 8L KO.S +39 355
#note Quackle says 12A OAKEN is best and wins 34.2% of the time. Presumably the hope is to draw a bingo next turn that can't be blocked, given that OAKEN empties the bag. It's hard for me to visualize what that bingo is. Generally this is a very tough position for me to process. I went with the highest scoring play (8L KOIS) that prevents my opponent from using the triple. But I'm not feeling great about my chances holding AEE. In fact, Quackle says KOIS wins only 20.3% of the time.
>Ross_Brown: ADOW L3 WOAD +29 373
