>al_helfgott: ELZ 11E ZE.L +26 98
#note Must have had duplicate L's...
>trashman: BIIKOOX M10 BOOKI. +24 134
#note Worth 4 more in row 14, but too risky there...
>al_helfgott: ?LNRSSU I3 RUNLeSS +72 170

#note Holding on to the X to try to hit the H1 spot next turn, bypassing 3C INDEXER 46 and setting up my other E...
>al_helfgott: AAEEHRT L4 HETAERA +80 250
#note Ouch. I mean, nice play!
>trashman: DDEIOVX O6 OXIDE +48 215
#note Q prefers 8K VEXED. The N6 hotspot is dangerous, and Al has the J, but can't use the spot. Whew...
>al_helfgott: IJN M3 JIN +27 277
>trashman: DEGOSTV N6 GOT +26 241
>al_helfgott: INW K5 WIN +28 305
>trashman: ADEHSTV 2J HEADS +46 287
#note Need the points, even though it's the case S. Q prefers 14B SHEAVE 40
>al_helfgott: NP 4H P.N +8 313
#note Al has no vowels, and decides to take out column H and rows 3-5. After my next play, he bemoans not taking out row 1 with PEN instead.
>trashman: AEIMRTV 1E VITAMER +93 380
>al_helfgott: FGI 2F FIG +33 346
>trashman: AEGIOTU 12C GOA +19 399
#note Considered a number of options here, most notably 5C OUTGAIN 20, which Q prefers. With no N's remaining, the G seems harmless here.
>al_helfgott: IMR E8 MIR.. +16 362
>trashman: DEILTUW 8A ILEU. +24 423
#note Almost lost the game here. C9 WIDGET 30 is the star play. The unseen pool is vowel heavy, but the Q is still out there. D3 DILUTE 21 is also far better than my play.
>al_helfgott: CELORTY A3 CRYOL.TE +64 426
#note Ouch! Fortunately, I have enough of a comeback to secure the win, albeit by the slimmest of margins.
>trashman: DEOQTUW 4A .OQUET +30 453
#note 13A QUOD 37. Man, I suck...
>al_helfgott: AIT B8 .ATI +12 438
