>Nancy_Bowen: EGHNOU 8G ENOUGH +28 28
>Evan_Chester: AEEMMPU 9G MUMP +36 36
#note Too many points to worry about leaving 3 vowels
>Nancy_Bowen: IIII -IIII +0 28
>Evan_Chester: AABCERX L3 BREAC. +26 62
#note L3 EXACRCH is the play that I needed to see. I don't think my other X plays on this turn are productive and would rather save it
>Nancy_Bowen: IO 3K O.I +10 38
>Evan_Chester: AGIJSTX N2 JAG +28 90
#note Best
>Nancy_Bowen: ?AEILRT 5E LITERAt. +78 116
#note There are 13 2x2s
>Evan_Chester: INORSTX I3 TI.O +5 95
#note The pure equity play is to just play off the X which bignos very often, but I wanted to set it up instead. This play definitely has upside but I can definitely run into consonant issues after this play. Too cute.
>Nancy_Bowen: IQ 4F QI +24 140
>Evan_Chester: ADGNRSX 6H D.X +55 150
#note Best, at least I connected on my setup
>Nancy_Bowen: AEP H1 APE +17 157
>Evan_Chester: AFGNRSY 3G F.. +20 170
#note Not bad but there is better, although they are hard to look for, in JAGGY and FAQIR. Also plays hooking ALITERATE but I didn't know that
>Nancy_Bowen: ADELRRS 10A LARDERS +67 224
>Evan_Chester: AGNORSY O1 YO +24 194
#note O4 ORANGY and A8 ONLAY are better. Didn't know ONLAY was a word and wouldn't have been confident in ORANGY. This leave should connect often enough to bring me back into this
>Nancy_Bowen: ?EILOOZ C6 cOLO.IZE +86 310
#note Only bingo, great find from Nancy
>Evan_Chester: AGNRSUW - +0 194
#note Drawing UW is just so brutal. I challanged cOLORIZE thinking this score was too much to overcome but it really isn't. Massive overreaction on my end and losing a turn here on a stupid challenge sealed my fate.
>Nancy_Bowen: CDIK 14C DICK +39 349
>Evan_Chester: AGNRSUW 15F AWN +24 218
#note 12A WUZ is top equity. Nothing sims above 0.3%
>Nancy_Bowen: EN 12C .EN +24 373
>Evan_Chester: EEGLRSU 1F LE.GUERS +60 278
#note Only bingo

>Nancy_Bowen: AAEEITT - +0 373
#note Challenge. Not real rack
>Evan_Chester: AAEFOVW 2B FOVEA +30 308
#note A5 AVOWAL, A5 FOVEAL, 8A WOLF, A6 FAVELA
>Nancy_Bowen: INY A8 IN.Y +21 394
>Evan_Chester: ABEIOTW 1A BOW +34 342
#note Best
>Nancy_Bowen: NT C1 ..NT +14 408
>Evan_Chester: AEHIITT 6L .I +2 344
#note I hit ATHEIST with an S draw and now I have a new line. ATHEIST and it's anagram STAITHE (didn't know) are the only bingos I can draw after AI. I need to open up another line and fish in a way that hits more often. Maybe 6L AHI? Spread doesn't affect this matchup due to my tie.
>Nancy_Bowen: S F4 ..S +14 422
#note Confirmation not to fish for the other S
>Evan_Chester: AEHITTV 4A VI.A +22 366
#note Turns out that Nancy has a 7 letter bingo on her rack in every single situation. I probably should try and block but in real time I never bothered calculating this because the outcome of this game was decided
>Nancy_Bowen: DENRSTU 14H UNDREST +76 498
#note There were 2 sizable mistakes I made this game. The first was my X setup. Even though I hit it, it would have been much better to play for a bingo when my leave would be as good as INORST. My second mistake is the COLORIZE challenge, which was me completely misevaluating my winning chances, which were still nonzero until I challenged.
>Nancy_Bowen: (AEHTT) +16 514
