>DaBag: AEIKLNO 8D KAOLINE +82 82
#note Rd 4 Philly virtual 4-11-2021. Nice start by Mitchell.
>skaplan31: AADFIOT D8 .OFTA +24 24
#note Most options Quackle is suggesting are parallels that will take out lanes that I'm gonna want to have later on. I'm fine with this play.
>DaBag: ?AIOOTT I8 .OTATIOn +59 141
#note It appears that I4 OsTI(N)ATO is the only bingo that does not open up a 3x3 for me, but that of course has its own issues. His best bingo was J1 pATOOTI(E) for 61.
>skaplan31: ABDDEII 15G BA.DIED +33 57
#note Best play.
>DaBag: AEHIVWZ 14L WIZ +38 179
#note 10B HAFIZ is 10 more for him, but this also is a great long term defensive play that also allows him to score again next turn with 13L AH and the like.
>skaplan31: ILLNRYY E5 INL.Y +21 78
#note Just gotta keep fighting his defensive style and not let him shut this board down so fast. Best again.
>DaBag: AEEEHRV 13K REV +32 211
#note D1 HEVEA isn't exactly his cup of tea. In his defense (no pun intended), this effectively makes the bottom right unusable.
>skaplan31: AEGLRWY C12 YAWL +25 103
#note 10F WARTY might be the play if I was ahead, but still gotta open. J6 LEEWAY, which I did not see, scores 5 more, but closes down too much making Column K harder to use. I wouldn't have done LEEWAY in this spot anyway.
>DaBag: AEEEHHU 15A HU.A +24 235
#note Even though he does open, Hs aren't exactly easy to play into.
>skaplan31: ?EEGIRS A8 GREEnIS. +83 186
#note Unless I draw this well. Glad to see this one and it's the highest scoring bingo. K6 RESIGnE(R) would have been a sweet fit too.
>DaBag: AEEEHMQ E11 AHEM +31 266
#note Definitely worth playing thru this rack.
>skaplan31: EFJMORU D1 JORUM +48 234
#note Did this over C9 JO to leave Column B open. Now I can force his hand a little more.
>DaBag: EEOPQSV 1D .EEPS +42 308
#note Despite the clunk, 42 is 42. Most points by far.
>skaplan31: CEFNRRS 2C C.RF +32 266
#note Mhm
>DaBag: CGOPQTV J5 COV. +11 319
#note Just him being him. I would have exchanged.
>skaplan31: EENNRSS 11G NE.RNESS +66 332
#note Only bingo. Came back nicely so far.
>DaBag: EGNPQTU C9 TE +15 334
#note Not sure what he's trying to do here besides take out Column B... I don't think the QU combo is really worth keeping with the G. If he wants to fish for a QU bingo, maybe H7 GIP is what he was looking for.
>skaplan31: DEIORTU 2H OUTRIDE +72 404
#note Looks good again.
>DaBag: GNPQTUX 9H T.NG +17 351
#note I think if Mitchell wants to win this game, he needs to get rid of the X, I just can't see a way for him to bingo out with both power tiles. By doing L1 PIX, he can at least fish for N2 EQUATING. Even that poses issues as I just have to either block the open Ss or score on Row 1.
>skaplan31: ABDIILO 1L LIDO +27 431
#note Missed bingo #2 on the day, 5G BIOCIDAL which would have ROYALLY put him in a world of hurt! Also, if I'm gonna miss that, BIDI in the same spot which guarantees me 5J COLA and N9 ALSO as out plays. By leaving ABI here, he has to do M7 QUAGS as his next move, allowing me G7 BAIL and 6J OBIA.
>DaBag: AGNPQUX M7 QUAG. +26 377
>skaplan31: ABI G5 BAI. +7 438
#note Way too much spread thrown away in this endgame. The theme with lots of points on the final rack shall continue again.
>skaplan31: (NPX) +24 462
