>Ben_Schoenbrun: AAGJU 8D AJUGA +28 28
>Josh: AAKOTUY E8 .AUK +30 30
#note seemed close between JAUK and JOKY. JOUK seemed slightly worse than JAUK. JOKY sims slightly higher than JAUK, due to far superior defense
>Ben_Schoenbrun: DDEEORW 7H DOWERED +67 95
>Josh: ?AFOOTY J3 FOOT.AYs +68 98
>Ben_Schoenbrun: HMOT F6 MO.TH +39 134
>Josh: AAEELMT I9 MALEATE +74 172
>Ben_Schoenbrun: ELTX 15H T.LEX +60 194
>Josh: EGILNRZ 8M LEZ +41 213
#note Between playing TELEXING now and playing LEZ or REZ, I figured that both plays had around the same potential to get blocked. ELRZ looked to score pretty well next turn whereas GINR looked like it bingo-ed a decent amount. I think I made the right decision
>Ben_Schoenbrun: ?ENORRW 13H c.REWORN +70 264
>Josh: GINORUU 15H .....ING +48 261
>Ben_Schoenbrun: ABBE 12K BABE +36 300
>Josh: DIORSUU 12C URSID +28 289
#note DUROS would be the play at 12A if there weren't 7 I's unseen. He might not have an S yet however, so perhaps 6B ODIU(M) is worth a shot. I probably would have won this game much more easily if I played ODIU(M)
>Ben_Schoenbrun: CCIR 4H CR.CI +24 324
>Josh: ANNOOSU 7C UN +5 294
#note now I'm in this absolutely horrendous position with no lanes. DUROS would have kept the board a bit more alive and compilcated things a bit for Ben. Instead I have to figure out what to make out of practically nothing. I figured that I really had to open up this turn and hope he was struggling. Otherwise he can exchange and better respond to any openings I might make next turn. It really seemed crucial to make something happen here. However, I don't know what would have happened if I played 11K ON. I don't think I even considered it, because it seems very standard in hindsight. I also considered C10 NO(U)N, which is the second-highest simming play after ON. 7C ON sims a bit higher than UN. This was still not a losing play, but it really ended up costing me the game. I thought he would be too weak here to capitalize on the opening, but I gave him a perfect play.
>Ben_Schoenbrun: AGIISV B2 VIGIAS +27 351
#note And it all came crashing down, but only because I totally missed 11K overlaps again. I thought I had just no play here that came even close, but I had OVA for 36, which might end up being enough to outscore Ben.
>Josh: ANOOPSV - +0 294
#note Completely blind and tilted, I challenge word I should never have even considered challenging.
>Ben_Schoenbrun: IIPT 3L TIPI +14 365
>Josh: ANOOPSV 11K OVA +36 330
#note shaking my head at this point. I might have drawn something like FL(I)P after OVA, which would have tied the game up.
>Ben_Schoenbrun: FIN C3 FIN +27 392
>Josh: EHNOPRS H1 POR.H +36 366
#note hoping I luck into something and he blunders, but EPO(C)H is certainly better for that, and I missed I2 HO(R)N to set up my S and a great lane. He sacrifices to block and I might have a powerful out in two to steal the game.
>Ben_Schoenbrun: DETY O1 DE.TY +30 422
>Josh: EEENOQS C10 EQ.ES +28 394
>Ben_Schoenbrun: ILNS B13 NIL +12 434
#note missing his out, -10
>Josh: ENO O8 .ONE +13 407
>Josh: (S) +2 409
