>boshvark: EHJLMPQ 8H HM +14 14
#note Macondo likes exchanging JLMQ. Okay yeah, now that you mention it, I guess I do too.
>robert: DDEI 9G DIED +19 19
>boshvark: EJLOPQY 10F JO +28 42
#note Macondo likes JOE best. I disliked getting rid of my only vowel, but doing so would severely restrict opp's responses. There's almost no scoring available if he doesn't have an O. I also liked keeping the E for PHI/EME overlaps.
>robert: IIIIII -IIIIII +0 19
>boshvark: EEGLPQY 7H PEG +21 63
>robert: AEMSX K3 MAXES +35 54
>boshvark: AEEFLQY L1 FLAY +42 105
#note I think I was unsure of FLEY for some reason.
>robert: GOV 11E VOG +28 82
>boshvark: AEEIKQT 1L .AKE +33 138
>robert: AIR 2L .AIR +24 106
>boshvark: BEIIOQT 5I TI. +10 148
#note Totally missed overlaps with the X like OBE.
>robert: II -II +0 106
>boshvark: BEIIOQS 4H QI +23 171
>robert: EHL 3I HE..L +44 150
>boshvark: BEIORSS 2C RIBOSES +68 239
>robert: AAENR 3A ARENA +20 170
>boshvark: ACDENUW 1D WANED +67 306
#note This play is the best for equity and win percentage. I thought long and hard about UNAWED and took the points. But I would have to be pretty unlucky to get hit with a triple-triple after a five-tile penny dump, right?
>robert: ?ACERTT A1 TE.CARTs +158 328
#note Gah~!
>boshvark: CDIRSUZ H11 SCUDI +41 347
>robert: AEGINR 14B GRAINE. +22 350
>boshvark: ?LOORUZ B8 OUZO +34 381
>robert: BO 4C BO +27 377
>boshvark: ?EELNRY F10 ..Y +13 394
#note Apparently I looked for a bingo for a very long time here, because my scoresheet gets a little messy after this. I missed LIENTERY.
>robert: FN 13G F.N +20 397
>boshvark: ?EELNRW 15C EW +20 414
#note Missed another bingo, WIRELINE.
>robert: IT 13C IT +16 413
>boshvark: ?ELLNRT 12H .ENTeR +16 430
#note Apparently this move blows the game, going from 90% win to 40%. I was panicked with both of us running extremely low on time.
>robert: NOOTUUV M9 OUT.O +12 425
>boshvark: ILLP N13 PI +12 442
>robert: NUV 15N NU +13 438
#note Opp announced 11, I wrote down 11, but I added 13 points to get 438 instead of 436. We were frazzled and didn't check the math.
>boshvark: LL 15H .LL +3 445
#note Whew, so many mistakes at the end but I survived.
>boshvark: (V) +8 453
>robert: V (time) -20 418
