1st significant mistake this game. First off, I don't need to make a defensive move as I'm only going up by so much. Secondly, I can get rid of more high pointers with G4 KERY(G)M(A), which wins easily more often than YERBA. #visionlarge
in huge trouble, need to bank on a 3x3 now. Really stupid to not play LINY instead, but his idea of playing ENTOIL might translate into not blocking the L next turn either? No, this was clearly a miss. #findingsmall
I wasn't crazy about 13A FUGUE(D) just because I can no longer hit bingoes into the Y keeping the polarizing leave of LN. This looks ok since I am setting up my E, but the only issue is Ken could have drawn one himself after his exchange. It does sim ahead of FUGUED for that reason, however, C8 (B)EGULF does win the sim because it's 9 more than FUGU and it's definitely worth the worse leave. I am also reducing Ken's average score by a good 6 points next turn. Slight finding mistake turned out to be a bigger one. #findingmedium
Played this WOK thinking I keep the E for EWE but there are more front hooks to WE if I play the other WOK, but I realized after I hit my clock I should've probably played the other one because of JEW and other hard-hitting overlaps there. #strategysmall
Mainly considered BOTS, 6I IONS, and D8 VIATOR. I discarded IONS pretty quickly as I felt it needlessly gives Ken an easy like for 7s. The main downside of BOTS was that I can draw 3 Is, but I felt with VIATOR the upside of ISS wasn't that great - in all likelihood I'll be making a play like BOTS anyway next turn, and perhaps not even that if I don't draw an E or O. The one benefit that makes VIATOR worth considering is that it blocks plays like 12A ZETA, but I decided those were unlikely enough and would probably give me a big play back enough that BOTS was worth it. But the best play, which I didn't consider, looks to be 6G SARINS - the second S isn't that valuable after BOTS anyway, and SARINS gives me more chances at the scoring tiles in the pool while minimizing the chances of I trouble. #visionmedium
I should probably just play C7 LIEU but I'm not sure what INE gets me when the board is this closed. I'm pretty happy with my decision honestly. #tacticssad i guess.
could also do PAH for one point less to further restrict overrlaps. I retain the only two letters in the pool that can overlap PA. Furthermore, he can set up D(RAG) or B(RAG) after either play with R(AG) for 4, but I can draw an E to block with TE(PA) after PAH and it is much trickier to block after HAP. B(ROO) is the lurking threat here, he could just bingo there at any time, but making another spot with R(AG) might just be his key to victory in some lines. #tacticssmall
this is an absolutely huge swing. I'm a favourite if I don't challenge, but I was completely tilted at this point and I didn't want him to be winning. It seemed almost inconceivable that this would be a word. #knowledgelarge
