>Ben: ADFNO 8D FONDA +26 26
>Josh: EEFGOOT F6 GO.EF +21 21
#note never considered GOOF E7. My current heuristic for CSW is to never stack when I can help it. GOOF sims very slightly higher #questionable
>Ben: AORV D8 .AVOR +22 48
>Josh: AEOTTVW 7E W.OT +19 40
#note I guess I did evaluate things alright here, as this sims top. Just sucks to do anything on C or E columns with what it gives back to Ben. Lots of options very close.
>Ben: CDN 9C C.N.D +26 74
>Josh: AEEHTVY E11 HEAVY +40 80
>Ben: Q -Q +0 74
>Josh: AIJNRTU 15A JANT. +48 128
>Ben: EGIORST 14E .ERTIGOS +68 142
>Josh: EEIIIRU H11 URI.E +18 146
>Ben: DM I13 D.M +17 159
>Josh: EEIILST 15L TILE +18 164
#note sad but true. TEIL# is probably better since he doesn't hit O8-O15 as much after D(I)M's range. I was just unsure.
>Ben: LLOZ I4 LOLZ +50 209
>Josh: ADEIIOS H1 AIDE +21 185
#note spotted C11 spot for OI after making this sad play that seemed too ugly to be true. Many things are close once again. #questionable
>Ben: Q 2G Q. +11 220
>Josh: BEIIOST C11 BOI +21 206
>Ben: EPSX K11 EXP.S +33 253
>Josh: EHIISTU L11 HI +33 239
#note L10 SHIE(ST) is also a good option. I didn't see it. Turnover is starting to get very important. However HI lets me turnover after my next move a lot more easily than SHIEST does on average.
>Ben: AILMPRY 3A LAMPYRI. +96 349
#note lightning bug out of nowhere
>Josh: CEINSTU A3 .INECUTS +83 322
>Ben: EGRSTUW 5I .UTGREW +22 371
>Josh: AAEIKNR 2B KA +28 350
#note need some help here. If I draw the B (and sometimes without it) I can bingo out and barely overtake Ben. I can also draw some 3x3s. His one-blank bingos very much gravitate towards the R in OUTGREW, so there was some chance here. In reality, I was actually 2/3 to win here.
>Ben: ?EENOSU M2 NEU.OSEs +66 437
>Josh: AABEINR O4 B.ANA +39 389
#note this rack does bingo in Collins, and I'm surprised I've never seen it (RABATINE) Losing by 27 would have been nicer. Still, we had spoken of the plan and wanted to execute it.

B? was BRA(W)NIEr to win by 4, and A? was RAIN(W)EAR or ANTI(W)EAR to win by more than 4. Pretty sad.
>Ben: ? 9M .t +0 437
#note the elusive 0-point play :)

Ben is great.
>Ben: (EIR) +6 443
