#note THIS!!! Probably the most gambling play in whole master division. Yet, also will turned out to be the most decisive play I've made in this tournament.

Since I already revealed ALL my rack by huge mistake, by almost play 7N IT/NI*/INCRUST, Rastra will block the only bingo spot in column N.

The only situation which make this gamble work is the opponent still don't have either S or blank, which is close to impossible, especially Rastra 6th turn really indicated he has another S. However when you play human that may be another scenario that make your gamble play work.

Playing Rastra is like playing expert computer, seriously, even in top master you will seldomly see them throwing bingo like GLORIOSA or BRUNETTE without much thinking effort, but sometimes he made huge tactical blunder which lead to his opponent winning. So I was thinking the possibility that he don't know STUB

Quackle suggested CURB as best, I tend to agree but when playing against Indonesian strongest 8 letters vocabulary+anagramming skill, maybe you have to think twice before providing him another floater

#note Rastra blocked the wrong spot. But I was more amazed by the fact I didn't see I can play common bingo SCORING for 98.

>Rastra_Teguh: DENOORS B6 DO. +18 371
>Christian_Oktavius: ?EIM 13G ..MbIE +19 381
#note Was too excited when writing final score, placed this last play in Rastra's column, so 371+(19+10) and think that 362 is Rastra final score, no one realized tho my writing mistake.
That's why the final score which stated in web is 400-362, while the correct one is 391-371
>Christian_Oktavius: (ENORS) +10 391
