#note BEST
>Alexander_Gozali: NTU K3 TUN +17 196
#note Second sign alex hold another S, set-upping bingo with TUN-STUN
>Christian_Oktavius: AFJNSTZ 12H JAN.S +40 288
#note Yes, this play burn an S, leave no vowel and open triple word for J play, but in this situation both quackle and I agree this is he best play.
First it block the save bingo line in floating I and N, thus forcing Alex to bingo using his 'suspicious" set-up TUN.
Second, with Alex forced to bingo in column 2, that bingo will be very vulnerable to be countered, especially when your opponent holding powertile (Z)
Third, JANNS put score 288-196, put ahead 92 points which more than enough to retain a lead from regular bingo
>Alexander_Gozali: ADL 13G DAL +19 215
>Christian_Oktavius: EEEFGTZ 10B ZEE +51 339
#note Even with JEEZ being blocked, the Z was ore than enough to push my lead even greater
>Alexander_Gozali: ADIMNST A10 MANTIS +42 257
#note N5 MANTIDS for 82 gave Alex winning chance about 10% (assuming both of us play perfectly). LUckily he didn't know probably his only chance to make comeback in this game
>Christian_Oktavius: EFGORTY H12 ..TO +33 372
#note BEST. With the only bingo spot available at row 2, the board is basically closed and sometimes it is better to retain some medium powertile in rack to scoring next turn

>Christian_Oktavius: EFGIORY 10F FIG +28 400
#note Was quite sure Ale will got bingo after this, so I play this leaving deadly Y in order to use in 12D or triple H1 if alex bingo, but....
>Alexander_Gozali: ORW 13A .ROW +14 287
#note Again, he didn't play bingo and took the Y spot
