>Samuel_Kaplan: DINORUX 8G ROUX +22 22
#note Interesting opening rack. I debated between DOUX and ROUX. Both plays sim close. Decided that ROUX limited Rob's options more so than DOUX. I did not consider DURION, although if I don't draw a U or DE next turn, the value of the X only goes up by so much.
>Rob_Goetz: ?CIOOSU 7A CUrIOSO +62 62
#note This is phony. Only CURIOSA is good (and CARIOUS). The only bingo in this rack is the not so easy to see COpIOUS. His only 2 bingoes that played on this board were G2 COUlOI(R)S and G4 IChO(R)OUS.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEEINR A4 DAN.E +30 52
#note Missed DERA(C)INE. I wanted a play that would fork the board. DAN(C)ER would have been a better board-forking play if I'm gonna miss DERA(C)INE, but EIR is a better leave than EI. I did not miss any bingoes through the other letters on this board though.
>Rob_Goetz: ACDEHLT 6E LATCHED +76 138
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEGIIRV 5J RIVE +22 74
#note Again, I needed to fork the board hence I used my V as a "blocking" tile. REGIVE 5J gives back too many points. RIVE is OK, I probably should have turned over more tiles here. There are no great leaves in this rack.
>Rob_Goetz: LPW M3 PL.W +18 156
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEEFGIR C7 .EEFIER +20 94
#note Wasn't a bad play, I definitely needed to open lanes up when I'm down. REGIE N5 would have set up my F nicely, although I wouldn't expect that spot to stay open for very long.
>Rob_Goetz: GNOZ 11B G.NZO +30 186
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAEGLLO B2 GOAL +15 109
#note Not a great draw. My play is 6th best. Definitely wanted to shed the G if I wanted to have any chance of getting back in this game.
>Rob_Goetz: DIJR 10F JIRD +53 239
#note Turns out he did have the J when he played GINZO on his previous turn. Very nice buddy!
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEFILTU H1 LUETI. +27 136
#note Best play. I looked for words that started with the R in JIRD and I correctly chickened out of RELIFT*.
>Rob_Goetz: MOT 12F TOM +18 257
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAFIVWY H10 .A.IFY +42 178
#note Clunky rack. That's how this game has gone thus far. Best play again! AVW>FIV as a leave.
>Rob_Goetz: IPY C1 YIP +27 284
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEMOQVW 13G W.VE +27 205
#note Brutal position when I have to deal with the annoying Q. I did make the best play again though. Only way to get back in this game is to have a 5 letter word that starts with the M at J14 (or the H) and then bingo along Column O.
>Rob_Goetz: ASU D2 SAU +15 299
#note I immediately inferred Rob had another S and possibly the blank after this play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABGMOQR 2G Q.AG +18 223
#note 2nd best play. Missed 2G B(U)RQA for 18 more. Not that it would have mattered with his strong range.
>Rob_Goetz: ?AEENST K9 ENTASEs +73 372
>Samuel_Kaplan: BHKMORR 12J M.RK +24 247
#note Should have been more aggressive than this. The H or the M would have been set up just fine with the more aggressive move than my play.
>Rob_Goetz: AAENN M8 ANAN.E +22 394
>Samuel_Kaplan: BBEHOOR 15K .HORE +33 280
#note Not sure that I agree with Quackle's top choice of N8 BOHO. There is an S unseen to me at this point. I would make this play again if I had to do it over.
>Rob_Goetz: DIINSTT 15D DITT. +11 405
#note His best play was 3F TI(E)D for 25.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BBO N8 BOB +29 309
#note Sometimes you can make great plays and just get garbage. I do give Rob props on a well played game though. PLEW was a nice play as was GINZO in particular.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (INS) +6 315
