>Joshua_Sokol: ACEIPQR H8 QI +22 22
#note ok let's try this again, don't lose by 300 this time plz
>Ryan_Chepita: AINOU 8H .UINOA +16 16
#note I almost spit out my tongue when he put the U down, but alas, I will have to wait another few dozen games or so for someone to bingo with the Q
>Joshua_Sokol: AACEIPR L5 CAP.EIRA +74 96
>Ryan_Chepita: ?ADELTU N8 sALUTED +83 99
>Joshua_Sokol: AIOTUXY G9 XU +34 130
#note M13 YOU is surely better, I'm not even sure I considered it. I have good options with my X and it's nice to not keep so vowel-heavy.
>Ryan_Chepita: EFZ O13 FEZ +53 152
#note missing YOU definitely stung
>Joshua_Sokol: AIOTTWY K10 OATY +22 152
#note K10 TOY is one more point, and keeping the A has OK value here. This position kind of stumped me. Probably TOY even though it doesn't block, since it doesn't set up a huge K spot that might be game-changing.
>Ryan_Chepita: BRW 6J BR.W +15 167
>Joshua_Sokol: AAILOTW 13I WA. +13 165
#note he might have a weak S here or he is consonant-heavy. I'm not going to play N3 AWOL or 5K A(C)AI for those two reasons. WA(Y) creates a spot for an S, but a very weak one at that most of the time. I think this is a playable position, and this gambit will be decent for me. If he has more than one S however, a play forming S(WAY) will not be great for me, but perhaps I luck into something.
>Ryan_Chepita: EP J10 PE +24 191
>Joshua_Sokol: AIILOST H12 TAIL +25 190
#note an S! OK, time to use the juicy spot I created...
>Ryan_Chepita: GNO I11 GO.N +17 208
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EIMOOS 15B OInOME.S +68 258
#note crazy that I had a playable bingo here. This would have been a pretty rich game otherwise.
>Ryan_Chepita: INV B12 VIN. +14 222
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEJNNR 13A J.NNEE +26 284
#note I have him kind of pinned on an S at this point, so really not a great idea to play J(I)N and let him have an easier bingo. This way he has to end in an E.
>Ryan_Chepita: AMSTT N2 MATTS +30 252
>Joshua_Sokol: DDILRTY O1 YID +28 312
#note right idea, but DID in the same spot would have been better, saving a sort of vowel and T(IN)Y at 14G. It will be hard for Ryan to set something up on row 1 after this (although still possible). Only one A left. I considered LYDDIT(E) which really would have made a lot of sense except for the fact that it puts an open Y at E8. I don't recommend this.
>Ryan_Chepita: ERUV E9 REVU. +16 268
>Joshua_Sokol: DELORST D4 OLDSTER +72 384
#note *ahem*

nope, I'm making my own luck.
>Ryan_Chepita: EO 5L .O.E +11 279
>Joshua_Sokol: DGHIKNR 4C H.RKING +16 400
#note emptying the bag because he needs to play an 8 with the D in 4th position here.
>Ryan_Chepita: ACEEIRS H1 SCE.E +21 300
#note unfortunately, his 8 with the D does not fit. This is a good endgame play among many others. 5 points off of 5D (L)EASE, saving RIC(H) and CRI(T)
>Joshua_Sokol: BDFGHLO M13 DOH +32 432
>Ryan_Chepita: AIR 3A RIA +16 316
