>mike_frentz: ACILORX 9G LAX +41 85
#note Got too cute on this and the next two turns trying to hit the CONJUGATE extension. OXALIC is pretty clear.
>cesar: EEELNUV 7H EVE +30 58
>mike_frentz: CILORTT K5 TIRL +15 100
#note And of course I forget about TRIJUGATE.
>cesar: EHLMNUY 10B HU.LY +27 85
#note i actually chickened out on HILUM. i thought HILI was the plural of HILUS and didn't think of HILA. oops. -7 #knowledgemedium
>mike_frentz: ACEOPRT J5 AP. +23 123
#note Looks marginally better to hold the A back.
>cesar: AEEMNOT L3 OMENTA +37 122
>mike_frentz: ?CCEORT 4D COnCERT +78 201
#note Forgot about TOMENTA. CEROTiC 2H is the play.
>cesar: AEGIIKS M3 KI +28 150
>mike_frentz: ADEFIOU 13B AU.IO +12 213
#note The leave's not good enough to sacrifice this many points. FADO N2 or FOU C12 are fine.
>cesar: AEGINQS 6F QIS +36 186
#note it just feels to me like he never not has an i, after AUDIO. it seems pessimistic, but i don't want to give up that many points by playing 14A QI. in any case, QIS sims best anyway.

>mike_frentz: EEINNOW 14F WINE +31 311
>cesar: AEHOORS 15H OHO +29 314
#note this and AHORSE sim neck and neck, but OHO is a little better i think.
>mike_frentz: ENOORTT 11I TOT +14 325
#note Somehow I just whiffed on the VEXT hook. TON 10I is best.
>cesar: AEELNRS N2 ...LER +13 327
#note he blocked LEANERS. i'm not unhappy with this play. sometimes i just like going for it. he seemed unlikely to have the last E and actually was probably very consonant heavy (bag only has 4 vowels in it). the best simming play is 5I E(ATE)N though, which also looks pretty good. perhaps this is the play and i just got too greedy. -5.5 #findingmedium
>mike_frentz: EINOPRW 14A RIP +18 343
#note While setting up ENOW for next turn is cute, it doesn't do enough against the firepower left in the pool. OWN M7 wins the sim.
>cesar: ?AENSSZ O6 SEZ +40 367
#note i drew an unbelievable SZ? from the bag. note that i passed up ZANiNESS. it doesn't seem to win enough for my liking, if i give up some out-bing on column O. quackle likes 13K ZAS. i think it wants me to keep a lane open in case he bingos so i can bingo out.
>mike_frentz: DEMNOSW 1A DOWNSME. +95 438
>mike_frentz: DEMNOSW -- -95 343
#note It's GOWNSMEN and TOWNSMEN, and also TRACKMEN and LINKSMEN. I figured I needed to bingo because there didn't seem to be many scenarios where Cesar doesn't have one, and fishing one tile didn't figure to be productive. Quackle actually thinks ENOWS wins about 35%, just ahead of fishing with WINED 14F. As the tiles lay, Cesar could have let the phony stand and bingoed out to win, but correctly challenged instead.
>cesar: ?ADINRS 2D RADI.NtS +62 429
#note i suppose i should play a proper endgame here. this is how to get spread. i knew with near absolute certainty DOWNSME(N) was phony and didn't bother looking for a bingo from it (pretty sure i'd find ordinals if needed). i have to block ENOW with 12C DE, and then draw an F or a G, which i know are in the bag. G bingoes in both lanes, and F bingoes up top with SAFRANIN. i also have tRI(JUGATE), in case i draw the F and he blocks the top lane. I was going to try it if i needed it, but wasn't sure of it. in any case, this results in a very large spread error, even though the game is 100% won. -85 #strategylarge #endgamelarge
>mike_frentz: DEMNOSW 15A ENOW +47 390
#note WONS J10 starts the best sequence.
>cesar: FG J10 F.. +14 443
>mike_frentz: DMS C9 M.S +17 407
#note Ooh, IDS E13 is pretty.
