>Mitch: CENT N4 CENT +30 292
#note I wanted to play there!
>Daniel_C.: AAINORT I13 O.A +6 290
#note Ok, here's where my game goes wrong. Quackle prefers K10 GOA, which balances the leave as well as does not provide my opponent (who for all I know does have the S) with an extra spot to score in. This was a bad play.
>Mitch: IK C3 KI +26 318
>Daniel_C.: ?AILNRT 12C RATLINs +69 359
#note And here's the turn where I managed to lose the game, despite having all the resources I need to win it. I saw three places where I could bingo 12C RATLINS, 8A FLATIRON, and just about anything down from D9. Of the 3 plays, only 12C RATLINS manages to block two of the lanes- the other two plays leave two places open where my opponent could bingo back. I figure (correctly, it turns out) that if my opponent can bingo back, I will probably lose the game since there are exactly 7 tiles left in the bag at this point. Leaving the lane through the F open seemed to me like the least likely spot for my opponent to bingo. The question is - what would you do here, and why? If you bingo, which bingo do you pick? If you intentionally don't bingo, what do you play instead?
