>Samuel_Kaplan: AELMNOT 8B LOMENTA +74 74
#note OMENTAL and LOMENTA are neck and neck in the sim. Against a lower rated player I would have played TELAMON with the T on the star and hoped that my opponent hooked an S so that I get a free turn. Rick is a great player so I just played it a little more standard here.
>Rick_Julian: FNO 9C FON +25 25
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEFGHTV F6 VE.D +24 98
#note Not bad. This play is 2nd. V(EN)GED gets rid of another consonant.
>Rick_Julian: EILP E7 P..ILE +20 45
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFGHITU D12 FUG +24 122
#note Best play!
>Rick_Julian: CILO 14B LO.IC +28 73
#note Rick told me he had ACGILO? or something like this and missed ANALOGIC from the A in LOMENTA. I wonder what he was keeping after LOGIC.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHISTT 15A HIE +22 144
#note Missed HESIT(A)TE thru the A. My play is 3rd according to Q. I probably should have used the S for 15 more, the S isn't super great on this board.
>Rick_Julian: GNU G8 .UNG +16 89
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEMRSTT F11 EM +16 160
#note 3rd best play. I interpreted Rick's leave as very strong after TUNG. I wanted to block Rick's potential TUNGS setup and set up my own S for a future score along Column H.
>Rick_Julian: AW 6F .AW +9 98
#note This was a nice play to set up a lane that's hard for me to block.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AERSTTY H11 STRAY +32 192
#note YATTERS is not something I knew. Didn't think there was anything in this. My play is 8th. If I did YA G5, the 2nd best play, Rick still has a bingo lane regardless. So I made this play to put myself ahead by more than a bingo.
>Rick_Julian: ?ACEIQR 5H ACQuIRE +89 187
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHNRTZ M3 HE.TZ +54 246
#note Missed the ACQUIREE hook. Terrible. This is 4th. Luckily Rick would also miss it.
>Rick_Julian: EIOOR O3 OORIE +24 211
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGINOR 13G O.ANGIER +72 318
#note This play is better over GERANIO(L) or REGIONA(L) positionally.
>Rick_Julian: ADEIORS 4B RADIOES +75 286
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?BLTUVW C2 BL.W +18 336
#note This play is more open than VAW which is what Q suggests in the same spot. There are no great options here. This is 6th.
>Rick_Julian: KT 4L K.T. +30 316
#note Nice play!
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?OPSTUV N2 VO.. +20 356
#note Best play! That V needed to go.
>Rick_Julian: ADERSTX J7 DEXTRA.S +70 386
#note I don't think I've ever had both a Q bingo and X bingo in the same game or an opponent that's done that to me. Still a nice play though.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEPSTU L8 PETUn.AS +76 432
#note What a nice draw to my PSTU? leave. This wasn't bad, cAPTU(R)ES or rAPTU(R)ES N8 was a little better. Small mistake. 3rd best.
>Rick_Julian: ADIIJUY N11 JU.Y +28 414
>Samuel_Kaplan: BNN E3 B.N +10 442
#note I found the best endgame. N(I)B or B(I)N then BLAWN C2.
>Rick_Julian: ADII 2A DI. +12 426
#note Rick's best play here was AD O14.
>Samuel_Kaplan: N C2 ....N +10 452
#note Nice start. We both made our fair share of mistakes but he did unfortunately have a crappy final rack. I would say nicely done on both sides.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (AI) +4 456
