>Matthew_Larocque: ?AEEGOR 8G OvERAGE +68 68
#note There's only one other bingo in this rack!
>Peter_Sargious: ADNV K7 V.NDA +18 18
>Matthew_Larocque: BEEIIOV 10I VI.EO +11 79
#note Or just OBI perhaps, but something about an opening bingo makes me want to play for turnover.
>Peter_Sargious: EHLPW 12H WHELP +44 62
>Matthew_Larocque: ABEEILN 13G BEAN +23 102
#note I guess ABLE is one of the better leaves with a B, so H12 WINE looks fine.
>Peter_Sargious: BIOR 11E BRIO +18 80
>Matthew_Larocque: EIILTUU L12 .IU +5 107
#note Yeah this is pretty futile, just exchange.
>Peter_Sargious: FG G7 F.G +13 93
>Matthew_Larocque: AEILTTU F3 UTILE +12 119
#note I must have overreacted after last turn. Perhaps just TUI is better. I didn't play this at 12A beause it seemed to give back bigger plays. I wasn't even thinking about the hooks on UTILE!
>Peter_Sargious: ORRT 2C TORR +14 107
#note Surely just TOR is better, unless he had all four Rs?
>Matthew_Larocque: AAEFNST 7I FA.A +28 147
#note I struggled between this or 1A FEAT to block the corner. I missed 1A FAENA. FAVA still sims best by a notch, ENST is hard to pass up.
>Peter_Sargious: CLNO D1 C.LON +20 127
>Matthew_Larocque: CDENSTW 14K W.D +7 154
#note I didn't get the draw, I gotta just score now and keep my lead intact. If I miss again I'm opening the door for him. 14F WED/S seem smarter.
>Peter_Sargious: MMOQSTX 9M MM +17 144
#note If I was him, I'd exchange most of this and try to hit a bingo down the N column before I do.
>Matthew_Larocque: CEIINST J6 C.. +11 165
#note Well duh, of course INCITES is a word, and a word everyone knows at that. I had a serious brain fart. I was comparing it to CITES and RECITES instead of just using it in a sentence.
>Peter_Sargious: JOQRSTX 6L JO +20 164
#note I disagree that this is worth blocking when I can bingo in multiple areas. Especially with this anchor of a rack. I would exchange and go for a bingo too.
>Matthew_Larocque: AEIINST 15E ISATINE +76 241
>Peter_Sargious: NNQRSTX -NNQR +0 164
#note He kept QRSTX and drew two other letters. I believe he said that he kept STX. As much as I do like the X, I think it's gotta go here. The board lacks hotspots. If I bingo down column C, the game is pretty much over. He needs to get one first. RST is a solid start to one.
>Matthew_Larocque: ?AAOUYZ N2 gAUZY +69 310
#note Scored as 73, and unbeknownst to me, there's one other letter I can make the blank!
>Peter_Sargious: ISTX O1 TIX +40 204
#note MAUZY
>Matthew_Larocque: AINORRT 3M R.. +20 330
#note I would have preferred to ditch OR, because RATION won't bingo with an E draw. Is TRAIN worth losing 7 points compared to RATION? This might also be a cheap 20 for him, when it's actually pretty hard to score 20 on this board.
>Peter_Sargious: AQST 14B QATS +28 232
>Matthew_Larocque: AIINORT 15A OI +17 347
>Peter_Sargious: KSY O6 SKY +44 276
#note Or not, lol.
>Matthew_Larocque: AEINORT 4F .O +2 349
#note Every single unseen letter gives me a bingo.
>Peter_Sargious: GLPU H1 GULP +38 314
>Matthew_Larocque: AEEINRT C5 ARENITE +61 410
>Peter_Sargious: DEEEHNS 5B H..D.ES +32 346
>Peter_Sargious: DEEEHNS -- -32 314
#note Nice fit though! 15M EDH is the best valid play.
>Matthew_Larocque: D 7E D.. +7 417
>Matthew_Larocque: (DEEEHNS) +22 439
