>Steve_Sikorski: AANPV 8D PAVAN +26 26
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEFJLN 7G FAD +24 24
#note I didn not know the E hook on PAVANE, otherwise I would have played FJELD immediately which is best. Not knowing the E hook made this turn a lot harder than it needed to be. My play is meh.
>Steve_Sikorski: IORT 6H RIOT +12 38
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFIJLNY 5J JIN +33 57
#note Best play! FLEY at 5I also is 33, but if I can get rid of the bingo-killing J, I'm gonna do that. I did lay down JILTY* at first, but I did remove the tiles from the board before it was too late.
>Steve_Sikorski: OOW 4K WOO +22 60
#note Nice board forking play by Steve here.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEFHLY N4 DEF +23 80
#note Steve could have been keeping anything after WOO. Definitely an unconventional play, but I do set up my Y nicely. Either way, there are 2 nice places to score on this board after DEF.
>Steve_Sikorski: CEI F8 .ICE +15 75
#note That was an aggressive move. I couldn't do anything to properly address this, so I might as well keep scoring.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EHLORTY O1 HOLY +58 138
#note I did not know HELOTRY- that would have been a sick play. My play is 2nd.
>Steve_Sikorski: IL 7M LI +11 86
>Samuel_Kaplan: EKNRSTU O7 TURK +27 165
#note Dang it, missed a bingo for the 2nd straight turn. STRU(C)KEN was the play at 10B. My play is 10th. This does fork the board along row 11 setting up my S. (I)NK at 9F would have been better if I'm gonna miss STRUCKEN.
>Steve_Sikorski: AEIOT D7 O.IATE +16 102
#note Not the kind of play I was expecting to see after LI.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AENNORS 9F .N +10 175
#note Lots of fishing plays work well here. I decided that bingo % was important over 3 more points with N1 ON.
>Steve_Sikorski: ESTZ 13B ZEST +35 137
>Samuel_Kaplan: AENORRS 12C R.ASONER +73 248
#note I made this play over the more simple SERRANO at 12F to take out Column B. Any play he makes along Column C will give me back a lot of points.
>Steve_Sikorski: ACD 14A CAD +38 175
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ABEIOX 13H AX +36 284
#note Didn't see any bingoes that played here. The only 8 I saw was OXIDABLE (only one there is). My play is 4th. I did see XEnIA 13I for 57 but it wasn't worth it to burn the blank for only 21 more points. ABEI? is better than BEIO?.
>Steve_Sikorski: MY 3L MY +29 204
>Samuel_Kaplan: ??BEEIO 15C OBElIzE +85 369
#note Could have chosen a couple other ones in the same spot- saw EBOnItE, EBOnIEs, etc which all would have been just fine.
>Steve_Sikorski: BTU C5 TUB +15 219
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEGGLUV 11I VEG +29 398
#note Best play!
>Steve_Sikorski: AW N1 AW +25 244
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGHLNOU 11D .H.N +28 426
#note 5th best. 11D THE is best according to Q although no resulting draws would allow a playable bingo on this board.
>Steve_Sikorski: AR 10M AR. +9 253
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEGLOUU N10 .OUGE +12 438
#note Interesting that Q wants me to exchange here. What are your thoughts? My play is tied for 2nd with ROGUE in the same spot.
>Steve_Sikorski: EGIMNSS 4A MESSING +82 335
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEIILTU A4 .ILIEU +24 462
#note I made the best play that guaranteed me an out play. LIMITED leaves me with only 1 spot to play the U which Steve can block, and TILDE 15K doesn't leave me with any outs.
>Steve_Sikorski: ELPQR E3 Q. +11 346
>Samuel_Kaplan: DT M9 T.D +8 470
#note Best.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (ELPR) +12 482
