>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHILTW 8D WHILE +30 30
#note Rd 2 of NYC Virtual Club 2-18-2021. This, WHITE, and WITHE all take a lot of hooks so might as well keep ET over EL.
>Frank_Tangredi: DGIOORW I5 WOOD +22 22
#note Interesting that Frank has decided to play this more open. GOWD is a better version of this play in the same spot.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEINORT E8 .EREINTO +72 102
#note Got lucky he didn't do D8 WIDOW or 9C WOOD, otherwise no bingoes would have played!
>Frank_Tangredi: GIQRRTT D12 QI +46 68
#note Nothing else to think about.
>Samuel_Kaplan: HILNRUY 15D H.URLY +48 150
#note This is best.
>Frank_Tangredi: GRRSTTV -GRTV +0 68
#note While Frank has been defensive against me in the past, this is absolutely the right play at this score. F6 GRIT will allow me to start blocking the top.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?BDIMNX J6 XI +52 202
#note I don't think Frank would have accepted MINXeD* which I did see at H1. This is easily best.
>Frank_Tangredi: AEIORST 10E .OTARIES +62 130
#note I wonder how many people would actually consider doing this at 10A?
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ABDEMN 14H ABDoMEN +89 291
#note Mhm
>Frank_Tangredi: EENTTUZ 13K TUNE +19 149
#note I think this play is fine, he does need a more risky play that hopefully I can't address too well. And he can't score that much better with the Z right now.
>Samuel_Kaplan: CGLPRUV 13A CUR..G +18 309
#note Right idea, LUV(IN)G is a better version. #findingquestionable
>Frank_Tangredi: DEGITTZ 11K TIZ +30 179
#note He could also do DITZ in the same spot, but I like that he's keeping the TUNE hooks open.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AABLPSV H4 BAP +27 336
#note While I did not know H1 SALPA, this is a much stronger play anyway. This prevents easy access to the top of the board, and I can always use my V for a nice score on Column A if Frank doesn't take that spot next turn. I did see A10 PAS(C)AL for 33, but I clearly couldn't stomach leaving BV.
>Frank_Tangredi: DDEEGJT 7C JET +35 214
#note Nice way to use the THEREINTO hook.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AFLMOSV A11 VO.AL +33 369
#note I did see B10 FAVUS for 5 more, but defense matters at this score.
>Frank_Tangredi: ADDEGPY K2 PADDY +40 254
#note His best scoring play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACFIMSV L1 VISA +34 403
#note Also didn't know 3J MAFIC, but I decided to be in outrun mode, so I wouldn't have played that if I did know it and see it. This does top the sim, but 12M IF would have been an interesting call too to block some of the TUNE hooks. Just gotta make the board harder for him to play on with not too many reparallels that can play on Column M with this pool.
>Frank_Tangredi: ?AEGOSS O7 dOSAGES +79 333
#note The anagram SEAdOGS does play for 3 more in this spot. Only SOcAGES and GASEOuS play besides SEAdOGS and this move.
>Samuel_Kaplan: CFGMRRT B12 F.R +21 424
#note With this vowel heavy pool, I'm fine with playing thru this rack.
>Frank_Tangredi: AAEFILU G1 ILEA +9 342
#note Can't blame him for trying to make something happen.
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEEGMRT 1C METR.C +33 457
#note As I was playing this, I could have hypothetically made a disconnected 9 with GEOMETRIC! I definitely wanted to take this 3x3 out, but EMETIC is 6 more.
>Frank_Tangredi: AEFNNOU A8 NON..... +39 381
#note This is a nice extension, but N7 ENUF allows him to go out in 2.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGIKNO N9 OK +34 491
>Frank_Tangredi: AEFU F4 FEU +16 397
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGIN 5B GENI. +12 503
#note 2A GIEN man.
Otherwise solidly played.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (A) +2 505
