#note So interestingly enough, in this 4 game tourney, I was Gibsonized after winning Rd 3. However, since everyone else in D1 were all 1-2, they all could have finished in a "cashing position" in 2nd place, hence it was essentially a KOH round instead of me playing David Poder (3rd with -81 spread at the time) or Ed Zurav (4th with -223 spread at the time). Mitchell had +50 spread.

As for this play, this or -AAO are fine.
>skaplan31: ANNRRST 9F RANT +18 18
#note While I7 RAN might keep the best, it does sacrifice too many points, and the board will get blocked too easily knowing Mitchell's game. I'd make this play again. This is best.
>DaBag: AAEOSWY 7E AWAY +29 41
#note 7F YOWE is 6 more for him and would have created a 4x3 rectangle. Yay for perfect geometric shapes in that case.
>skaplan31: GINQRSZ 10B ZINGS +46 64
#note Q says 2nd best on this play, I'd do this again as I can likely hit QI at 9C next turn.
>DaBag: BDEHOSU 6C HUB +12 53
#note Interesting aggression here. Maybe 11C DUO or D8 HONED are better for him.
>skaplan31: DEGINQR 9C QI +44 108
>DaBag: DEEORST 5E OERSTED +92 145
#note Nice play!
>skaplan31: DEGNORS H1 DONG. +27 135
#note Yep
>DaBag: DIIOUWX 6I OX +52 197
#note Despite the very bad leave, this play is definitely worth it.
>skaplan31: ELNPRSV 4J LEV +25 160
>DaBag: DIIINUW 1D UNDI. +8 205
#note This is where I would have exchanged everything. The D and N in DONGS are 2 of his main bingo lanes which is why I don't think keeping the D or N are worth it here.
>skaplan31: EENPRST M1 PRESENT +77 237
#note Luckbox
>DaBag: ?CIIOVW 1M .OW +24 229
#note B6 COW does play for 31 here, but this play is not bad either as he could hit a monster bingo with the CHUB hook.
>skaplan31: CDEIKNT B2 DETICK +55 292
#note However, good thing he didn't block the best play by far.
>DaBag: ?BCIILV A1 LIB +22 251
#note D8 VINIC needed to be done here.
>skaplan31: ELMNOSU 2J MOU.N +30 322
#note Thumbs up on this one too.
>DaBag: ?ACIRUV E10 .UV +14 265
>skaplan31: EEFLORS A7 OF +21 343
>DaBag: ?AACGIR 3D CARI.G +12 277
#note The best bingoes here are 12E (V)ICARAGe for 78 as well as L7 AGRAvIC or AGARICs for 74 each.
>skaplan31: EEELRSY 12C SE.ERELY +80 423
#note If Mitchell had found VICARAGe on his previous turn, I don't get to play this. This basically puts the game away and allows me to go undefeated.
>DaBag: ??AEEIJ J10 JA. +29 306
>skaplan31: AEHLOPT K9 POH +35 458
#note No home for TAPHOLE. This is best.
>DaBag: ??EEIRT L8 RETInaE +82 388
#note Lol for double blank bingoes. L7 ERoTIzE is 1 more.
>skaplan31: AAEFLOT 14J FL.ET +32 490
#note FOETAL in the same spot for 2 more.
>DaBag: I C12 .I +4 392
#note Haven't won a virtual tourney in a while. This one feels nice!
>DaBag: (AAO) +6 398
