>Samuel_Kaplan: CFINRRX 8G FIX +26 26
#note No good leaves here, this is best. Didn't have to think too hard about this one.
>Jonathan_Kent_: ACDFLTT J5 FACT +25 25
#note 3rd best play by Jon. DAFT in the same spot sims bet.
>Samuel_Kaplan: CENORRZ K2 ZONER +40 66
#note I didn't seek K1 CROZE for 42 but it's many more points that I'm giving back than the play I made. CROZER in the same spot poses the same issue. I feel that I found the play that scores fairly well and doesn't give back cheap points at L4. My play is 3rd according to Q.
>Jonathan_Kent_: ?ADEELT 2H TEA.ELeD +88 113
#note Tied with the other 3 blank E locations for best play! Jon did take a long time on this play so I figured he probably had a blank or a very nice rack somehow.
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEIMRSY 1D CRIME +42 108
#note 1G RIMY would have been the play as it sets up my S nicely at H3. I spent a while on this play as there is a myriad of options. I saw 1E CYME but I wasn't crazy about the IRS leave. My play is 4th.
>Jonathan_Kent_: DLQTTUW H6 QU.LT +14 127
#note TW(O) is best according to Q. Jon's play is 8th.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?IOPSVY F1 .VY +17 125
#note L1 S(E)POY would have been sick. I saw 1N YO but PV is a clunky combo. My play is 4th.
>Jonathan_Kent_: DDGITUW -DDGUW +0 127
#note 3B WUDD(Y) would have been the play here for 26.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?IOOPRS 10B POROSI.y +67 192
#note O2 (D)ISPROOf is hard to spot. I spent a while on this turn and wasn't seeing any 7s. POORISh at 11C would have been the play as it keeps it open the most. My play is 6th. At least I got the P at 10B, but still, I needed to hook QUILT with this play.
>Jonathan_Kent_: EILORST E4 OESTRI.L +82 209
#note Best play! Yay for baby racks
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEINTUW C9 W.UND +26 218
#note Wasn't totally sure what to do here. I considered WIDER, UPWIND, and WOUND. I felt like WOUND scores decently where I don't give back easy points. Yes Jon did draw 7 random tiles but in a close game I wasn't willing to give back cheap points. My play is 7th according to Q.
>Jonathan_Kent_: ADGIMNN O2 .AMNING +42 251
#note Best play! DAMNING didn't play on this board.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BEEINOT L6 EBONITE +73 291
#note Best play!
>Jonathan_Kent_: ADEIKRT M4 TRAIKED +85 336
#note Very nice overlap! I guess I wish I played EBONITE at L5 or 11I then. LOL
>Samuel_Kaplan: ALOSSUW D1 .LAW +28 319
#note I didn't see the SWOUND hook, otherwise I would have considered WAS or WOS at 8A. My play is 3rd.
>Jonathan_Kent_: BEEHIOR L1 H.RE +30 366
#note Q says HEBE at K10 is best. I disagree, I'm fine with this play. It scores only 3 less and is much safer.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AGOSSUY 12A YA.GS +35 354
#note Best play!
>Jonathan_Kent_: AABEINO K9 OBIA +27 393
#note Best play here! Too bad there's no open Z for ZABAIONE.
>Samuel_Kaplan: GIOSUUV J12 GUV +19 373
#note Ugly draw but what else can I do? Gotta set up my S in a manner that will force him to sacrifice a lot of points to block should he opt to do that. He decided to outrun instead.
>Jonathan_Kent_: AEEEHNP A12 .EAH +30 423
#note 2nd best play. His best play is H(Y)ENA at A11.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AIJOOSU 15G AJIS +41 414
#note Best play! I also saw OUIJAS# in the same spot. Too bad you can't suddenly decide to chance lexicons in the middle of the game.
>Jonathan_Kent_: DEENP B14 DE +17 440
>Samuel_Kaplan: OOU D12 .OO +7 421
#note Ugly but best play.
>Jonathan_Kent_: ENP 6B PEN. +12 452
#note I only got 2 moves outside the top 5 which were POROSI(T)y and W(O)UND. This is a step in the right direction for sure. I hope to do this on a more consistent basis. Another slugfest that Jon and I went through for sure.
>Jonathan_Kent_: (U) +2 454
