>Yvonne_Lobo: IIII -IIII +0 0
>Evan_Chester: MORRTTU H8 TUMOR +16 16
#note Putting the T and U in the double lanes is slightly safer than the O and R. Correct word, slightly inferior position (vertical is correct tho)
>Yvonne_Lobo: BEHIORT 12G B.OTHIER +76 76
#note Not a word, womp womp. Best valid play is a sick double double of THEORBO, never seen that word before
>Evan_Chester: ?ADGNRT M7 GRAND.sT +74 90
#note Best positionally of 4 74 point bingos.
>Yvonne_Lobo: EKX G7 KEX +46 122
>Evan_Chester: BCEGJNO F6 JOB +39 129
#note Best
>Yvonne_Lobo: EEF 8L F.EE +33 155
>Evan_Chester: ?CEEGNV 14J CEN.E +26 155
#note This is a phony. LISENTE/LICENTE, SENTE/CENTE*. I knew better than to play VEnGENCE* but did miss VErGENCE, which I did not know. A play like 13C VENGE is also better than CENTE* to ditch the clunky GV combo, which is left untouched after my play.
>Yvonne_Lobo: EILNY 13C LINEY +35 190
>Evan_Chester: ?AEGILV O1 LEGAtIV. +86 241
#note I actually overdrew on this turn and she threw a G back, which saved me from having duplicate Gs and allowed me to bingo. Maybe I should have bingoed with the real word instead, which I know, LEVIGAtE. Gosh this one is embarrassing. O1 GIVEAbLE is also there, but I didn't see it.
>Yvonne_Lobo: OPU 11K UP.O +30 220
>Evan_Chester: AAEOOPR 12A PRAO +24 265
#note 3rd behind 12C APO and 12A AREPA (didn't know)
>Yvonne_Lobo: NOY A12 .ONY +27 247
>Evan_Chester: AADDEOS N2 DADAS +35 300
#note Tacking on the S is correct for 10 points with 3 more unseen. My highest scoring move available and it is great defensively. I think this is best
>Yvonne_Lobo: AINV I5 VINA +14 261
#note One less line for me to block, I'll take it
>Evan_Chester: EEIMNOU 14E EMEU +32 332
#note Best. Crazy how EME only scores 1 less but is valued 10.5 lower on equity. The U really does suck
>Yvonne_Lobo: EIL 5H E.IL +14 275
>Evan_Chester: DGINOSZ 3M Z.. +26 358
#note My idea here was that if she bingos on the 4 row, I'm keeping such a good leave that a lot of the time, I can bingo back and maintain my lead. However, I overlooked L1 ZINGS for 58, which is 100% the best play
>Yvonne_Lobo: CERW 4E CREW +22 297
>Evan_Chester: DGIINOS D2 DOSING +36 394
#note Right idea, wrong execution. D4 SIDING scores 2 more and doesn't offer a floating D.
>Yvonne_Lobo: HIST 8A THIS +34 331
#note Another phony that I didn't even hold. Tbf this is a hard challenge and I had a response that was easily worth playing over risking a lost turn.
>Evan_Chester: AFIIQRW 3G FAQIR +46 440
#note Luckyyyy
>Yvonne_Lobo: AALOSTU 15C LOTUS +23 354
#note Best endgame move for her
>Evan_Chester: ITW C1 WIT +19 459
#note Best out. Lesson of this game: 4 phonies on a scrabble board is 4 too many. Letting hers go are fine since they are tough nonwords to know are nonwords, and CENTE* is plausible, but LEGATIVE* is egregious and I'm lucky af that didn't get challenged.
