>Connie_Creed: IOP H8 POI +10 10
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?CDJNOV G9 JO +36 36
#note No way will I exchange despite this clunky rack in a position like this. This is simple but best.
>Connie_Creed: AE I8 AE +18 28
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?CDDNVW -CDDVW +0 36
#note Q says keep CN? but I have no floating vowels to play thru. It's basically neck and neck between keeping N? and C?. I kept N? because it's easier to end words with an N than a C.
>Connie_Creed: EEW 11E EEW +25 53
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AFGNQZ -FGQ +0 36
#note This is some draw after I just exchanged CDDVW last turn. Q says keep AGNZ?, I don't think the G is that good to keep on this board. I'd make this play again.
>Connie_Creed: BIMNTTV - +0 53
#note Not actual rack. Connie exchanged 3.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ADMNSZ F10 M.ND +24 60
#note After an exchange 3, MEND is better than MENAD. I didn't consider 12C DAMNS but that play is definitely worth it. This is 6th according to Q.
>Connie_Creed: HNOU 13B HOUN. +18 71
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AISSUZ J6 ZAS +37 97
#note Best play!
>Connie_Creed: AFIL K3 FILA +25 96
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEISTU L6 SITUAtE +76 173
#note So many bingoes here, I looked for overlaps next to FILA. This is best.
>Connie_Creed: EORSW 13I WORSE +31 127
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFGLOQR 14H REF +32 205
#note Did not know GOFFER at 3I. That is much better for turnover. #knowledgemedium
>Connie_Creed: EEMT 15G MEET +36 163
#note Yowza
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGHLOOQ 14B OH +25 230
>Connie_Creed: ACRTY 3H CRA.TY +30 193
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGLOQTV J2 Q.T +34 264
#note The timing could not have been any better with the Q. Thank god.
>Connie_Creed: BDEIKLU D5 BUDLIKE +72 265
#note Nice play Connie!
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGILORV - +0 264
#note This does not sound like a word but it is valid. I ended up challenging this.
>Connie_Creed: NOPU 15A UPON +35 300
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGILORV H1 VI.E +30 294
#note In a close game I will take the points with this over L1 VOTE especially with 4 more unseen Is.
>Connie_Creed: ACGY E2 CAGY +34 334
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGLNORR N11 GONER +21 315
#note N10 GENRO. I consider myself lucky Connie didn't have the X. 4th best.
>Connie_Creed: DO O11 OD +13 347
#note Connie told me she thought I had the X after GONER. She did have DELORT? on her rack and I immediately saw DELATOR for her. That is the only bingo that plays and most likely would have won the game for her given the nature of this board.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAILNRV 15L VI.L +33 348
#note VARA or VIRL? I felt like having the A to make ABY plays in case I need another decent scoring option for later.
>Connie_Creed: ILR 8A RIL. +12 359
#note I knew Connie had the blank after OD so I'm not surprised she opened the left up.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAAINRX 7A AX +20 368
#note I saw C5 AX, 8L TAXA, and C5 AXAL but based on my intuition, I didn't wanna lose to a bingo as the letters in RILL are the only lanes. I was gonna make her have to think it through to get me. She misscored RILL as 8 and not 12.
>Connie_Creed: ?BDENST H1 ....D +11 370
#note I believe this was Connie's rack in this position. Assuming this was the case, fishing for a bingo wasn't correct because that gives me endgame timing. All I had to do was go out in 2 to win. I think that M7 DENT wins if she draws a vowel.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAGIINR C2 RAIA +16 384
#note This play scored decently, didn't give much back to her, and guaranteed me an out play.
>Connie_Creed: ?BENSTT M7 TENT +16 386
#note Even if the score was correctly recorded, Connie does not have any wins here. Bo(XI)EST scores 28, which puts her up 398-384 (which is what the score should have been), but then I have TING 8L as my out play. Score at this point was recorded as 384-382 in my favor.
>Samuel_Kaplan: GIN 7D .ING +8 392
#note GINK 10A should have been the play here though. I did take advantage of her miscue by playing the endgame very well.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (BS?) +8 400
