#note I considered IZARS 14B too, I thought with all of the S's and blanks unseen, it was too risky to allow for the S(IZARS) hook. RAIAS there looks great though, not sure why I didn't think about it, this is much worse.
>Agnes_Kramer: CDEINTT 4G TINCTED +75 222
>Morris_Greenberg: AACIPRS 2G AIRCAPS +71 243
#note I thought PICARAS was the phony and AIRCAPS* was valid. Lucky I got away with this.
>Agnes_Kramer: DEFIIRV D6 VERIFI.D +66 288
>Morris_Greenberg: ABELRRU 1D RURAL +26 269
#note Missed RE(VERIFIED) here. This will become a pattern. I was choosing between RUBLE and RURAL here. I figured the B was pretty good on this board (e.g., JOB option), and with all 3 S's and blanks out, I didn't love that RUBLE created the (BA)S(T) lane. Quackle much prefers RUBLE.
>Agnes_Kramer: BMO 6I MOB +20 308
>Morris_Greenberg: ?BEEHOT H12 .OBE +18 287
#note I registered H(AIRCAPS) when I played AIRCAPS*, but forgot about it here, I was kicking myself in the endgame that I missed (R)HO in the moment. HE(R)ETO O10 also looks much better.
>Agnes_Kramer: HO I14 OH +14 322
>Morris_Greenberg: ??DEHLT 14L TEL +22 309
#note I thought opening column B with a play parallel to VERIFIED would just result in an easy S bingo too often for Agnes. Quackle says that only happens 18% of the time, so playing something like HELoT is better here.
>Agnes_Kramer: AN 5K AN +16 338
>Morris_Greenberg: ??DHISS F7 .......D +17 326
#note I mistracked here and think there is still an A unseen too (looking at my scoresheet now, I didn't track AZ(O), and didn't notice I didn't cross off the Z in my final tally), so I think plays like AUNTIES or ATONIES are available if I play the H(I) F7. However, I am not sure if it is correct to play H(I) even if I correctly track. Human responses like (H)IT or (H)OT will give the win for Agnes here, so I think the better strategy here is to empty the bag and put more scoring pressure on Agnes. Either playing ID at 14F or (R)Ho at F1 force us into very precise endgames (if Agnes sees TO(R)IES that is one of her only 2 wins in both versions). I didn't see Agnes' next play in advance so I thought 17 plus my great letters put me in good position here.
>Agnes_Kramer: NU D4 UN........ +34 372
#note Beautiful find by Agnes. I thought holding both blanks, 2 S's and the H would give me a significant advantage in the endgame despite trailing on the scoreboard, but I completely missed her star play and she found it.
>Morris_Greenberg: ??HISSW J10 HIc.S +28 354
#note I miss the win of SrIS here (I didn't process the SR idea there, I was looking at baSIS or oaSIS there briefly), I mentally checked out a bit after UN(VERIFIED and realizing I missed (R)HO earlier on). My logic here (with mistracking so I think Agnes has TEA(K)S) was that TEA(K)S is an easy win for Agnes, so I should complicate the game for her and put the onus on her to block (Y)WiS. To be a bit kind to myself, I did assess correctly that if TEA(K)S is available for Agnes, that would outrun any sequences involving WHI(R) (or SrIS for that matter), so my mistakes towards the end of the game in large part can be attributed to a (rare-ish) tracking mistake for me (on my scoresheet I wrote AEEIOST and didn't even register that I wrote down 7 tiles here when she only had 6 though).
>Agnes_Kramer: EEIOST 2B TOES +12 384
>Morris_Greenberg: ?SW K8 .WiS +26 380
