>Jakob_Teitelbaum: AEIMNOT 8C AMNIOTE +74 74
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?IIMNUW 9H IWI +21 21
#note 7G WIN seems to bingo almost as often, so taking the extra 4 pts is worth it.
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: AABFLRR 10J FLAB +30 104
#note FRAB is a CSW easy to forget
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?EEKMNU G7 M.KE +34 55
#note UNMEEK is a # six with no 7's or 8's. Didn't know that word, but it looks pretty strong at 7A. MOKE is fine though i think
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: AAELNRR 7I LAR +11 115
#note Star play available here is ANAMNIOTE. I'm guessing this was missed by both players throughout the game.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?AEHINU D4 InHU.ANE +74 129
#note Hoped he might not be sure enough on the R hook to try it, since LAR suggests he kept one.
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: AAEJNRW 6J JAW +56 171
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: DDEOTVY 5K VODDY +43 172
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: AEEEFNR 4L REEF +52 223
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ADEGOST 3K DAG +27 199
#note Real time killing turn. No bingoes and no great plays on the hotspots on row 3 or 8. In hindsight, I preferred GOAT slightly. But they're pretty even.
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: AEEINQU 10C I. +2 225
#note Really creative play. It is heavily based on the inference that I am close to bingoing (based on my short play and the time I spent on the turn). If I am forced to play elsewhere this turn due to a bingo draw, the Q comes down for 100+. Even if I take out the spot by bingoing on column B, I am exposing two TWS for the Q.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEORSTT 12D ROSETTE +92 291
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: CERRSTV (challenge) +5 296
#note I did not give this turn the thought it needed! I briefly considered that IN is probably a Q setup, but in reality, there is no situation in which it ISNT a Q setup. Unfortunately, I can't block it without forgoing my bingo entirely. But I can SOMETIMES disrupt the spot by instead playing 12A TETROSE. QUE- is tougher to hit than just QU-. It is safe to assume that he kept 5-letter QU word, or at least something very very likely to hit, like QUTE. Of course, I lose some value in the weak block by slotting the T at 12A which he sometimes scores 100+ through anyway. I don't know. I found myself regretting not doing TETROSE, but simming with an inferred rack of QUATE still puts ROSETTE ahead. Is there a nonbingo worth playing? Or do I just bite the bullet, take my 92+5, and dig 7 into the Z bomb?
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: AEEINQU B10 QUENA +100 325
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: CERRSTV L8 CR.VE +26 322
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: BEILOSX A12 BOLE +38 363
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EIINRST F10 TI. +9 331
#note Got sick of waiting for the Z spot to get cashed. But REIFY probably makes more sense here.
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: GINOSUX C13 OX +34 397

#note mm...
>Jakob_Teitelbaum: GNOYZ 1K ZYGON +79 562
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: DEIOOPR 15C OROIDE +34 462
#note DRAP last turn would have resulted in a very high loss
