>Samuel_Kaplan: IIMNNTW 8F TWIN +14 14
#note Not much to say here. I considered WIN as well but that's too hooky. This is standard and best.
>Mark_Kaplan: ADEILR J7 DERAIL +17 17
>Samuel_Kaplan: AIIMNOU 12F MONI.IA +20 34
#note At first I saw TINAMOU and MANITOU as well as MINUTUA until my grandpa gave me the L to work with. I didn't like OIDIUM 7H even though Q thinks that play is best. My play is 3rd. I would make this play again if I had to do it over as turnover is absolutely needed in this position.
>Mark_Kaplan: ENRRU H10 RU.NER +18 35
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGHLNOU 14H .UGENOL +24 58
#note Another interesting position with a medley of options. I saw ENOUGH 11A but that's too aggressive this early. Anything to shed the dreaded G and U was fine with me. My play is 3rd, 11B LOUGH is best. Gotta love turnover.
>Mark_Kaplan: ALW 13E LAW. +24 59
>Samuel_Kaplan: CHLSTVY -CLTVY +0 58
#note Nope. Major mistake not realizing I had CYST for 45.
>Mark_Kaplan: IQ 7E QI +13 72
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EHMOSU O12 MUSH +45 103
#note MOUcHES 08 for 104. I took a while on this turn looking for playes that ended with the S hooking EUGENOL. Meh play again.
>Mark_Kaplan: HOT 6F HOT +28 100
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ACEEJO 13M JE. +40 143
#note Yep. Played this rather instantly. Works for me.
>Mark_Kaplan: AY 15L AY +22 122
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ACEOSV 5H AVOCEtS +74 217
#note YUCK OCTAVES 5E!!!!!!
>Mark_Kaplan: DEENPRT L2 REP.NTED +74 196
#note This would not have happened if I saw the optimal play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BEEFOTU 4D BOEUF +38 255
#note Mhm. Correct.
>Mark_Kaplan: EVX 5C VEX +48 244
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEGORT 14A TOERAG +34 289
#note F2 GO(E)T(HIT)E would have been insanely sick board vision but I like my play better anyway. A safer and less flashy option is TOGA 3C which I saw but EER isn't that good a leave on this board with the Rs in RUNNER and the R in REPENTED open. This play is best even though it is aggressive. I liked the turnover and score again.
>Mark_Kaplan: ISZ A12 ZI.S +69 313
#note Yowza
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EKOPRT C8 POcKET.R +78 367
#note Interesting that Q puts 11G TUPIK ahead of bingoing. Other bingoes I saw were UPSTROKE, LAKEPORT, PARROKET, and PORKIEST.
>Mark_Kaplan: FN K11 F.N. +24 337
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEGILOS 3C DOG +26 393
#note The only 7 I saw in the remaining pool was ACIDITY and it wouldn't have played anywhere after emptying the bag, hence I made this play.
>Mark_Kaplan: AACIITY 8A YI. +24 361
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABDEILS N3 DI.ABLES +65 458
#note Low on time - with a little more thought I probably would have seen BIASEDLY A1 which is clearly better.

Overall not bad in the beginning, I did bleed equity with plays like MUSH and AVOCETS in the middle there. I did get the pre-endgame correct which proved to be the winning play.
