>Samuel_Kaplan: ABBEIOT 8E BOTA +12 12
#note BIOTA
>Mark_Abadi: DEIJNO 9C JOINED +35 35
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEEILU C9 .UBILE +30 42
#note Yes! And it got challenged
>Mark_Abadi: HINRTUW - +0 35
#note Not actual rack. JUBILE got challenged.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAACERU 15A UREA +31 73
#note Good play but not best play again. This is 3rd.
>Mark_Abadi: ACLM 7F CALM +25 60
>Samuel_Kaplan: AACKOVY 11C .ACK +24 97
#note I correctly passed up YOICK*. YOICKS is sticky S only. Also, meh.
>Mark_Abadi: DIR 6E RID +19 79
>Samuel_Kaplan: AALOPVY D1 PAYOLA +33 130
#note Good. Got this play right.
>Mark_Abadi: OOT 3B TO.O +14 93
>Samuel_Kaplan: EHNNRSV 12A VE.N +26 156
#note 2nd best play. VIN 12A would have been fine.
>Mark_Abadi: AEGIMRT 14C .MIGRATE +71 164
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEHNRSW 15H HAW +49 205
#note Best play. I will never leave Row 15 open like that.
>Mark_Abadi: EILOTU A7 OUTLI.E +30 194
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEENRSY 13H YEN +26 231
#note Not bad. Had the right idea. I don't mind leaving the P open when Mark just drew 6 tiles. This is 2nd best.
>Mark_Abadi: IQ B6 QI +33 227
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEERSTX 1B EX.ERTS +48 279
#note I thought DEXTER was only an adjective. Wrong. 5th best. Neither of us knew the S hook on EXPERTS.
>Mark_Abadi: GSUV K10 GUVS +23 250
>Samuel_Kaplan: DGIOORW 6I OW +17 296
#note I wasn't willing to play VOW or VIGOR at 12K after his last play. Since he played GUVS very quickly, I immediately thought he had another S and/or the blank. This is the safest play while scoring similarly and I have a good shot of drawing an N. This way his bingo won't score a tremendous amount.
>Mark_Abadi: ?AENNRT K2 TRANNiE +68 318
>Samuel_Kaplan: DGIOPRS 3J P.OG +14 310
#note Again we both didn't know SEXPERTS. I didn't want to empty the bag here because even if I draw the blank, Mark has tempo in the endgame and he's gonna just block. By playing something like PROG, I make him think about whether it's worth it to score and open up or leave 1 in the bag which I can use to outrun should I draw the Z. If I draw the F, Z, and blank, I can win the game with FEZzED 8J. But, this endgame came down to who picked the blank. As it turns out, I was lucky enough to draw it along with an E and H.
>Mark_Abadi: DEISZ 8J S.IZED +51 369
#note Nice play by Mark. He needs to score and hope to draw the blank to have a chance at winnin this game.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?DEHIRS N6 DI.tHERS +73 383
#note Not the best bingo, but it was enough to win. I had to make the sure play knowing Mark will challenge anything.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (FFIN) +20 403
