>skaplan31: BEIINOQ 8G QI +22 22
#note Rd 4 Philly virtual 4-18-2021. Nothing else to think about.
>joeboy2: EGNNOUV 7H GUV +11 11
#note This or 7H OVEN look fine, I would have gone with GUV too as it doesn't give too much back.
>skaplan31: BEINOOR 9D BONIER +26 48
#note H2 BIORE(GI)ON would have been a spectacular find. I did not see the bingo. Out of all plays I did see, I chose this over 9E OBI or 9D OORIE as a 37 point lead is pretty good on a rather quiet board this early in the game if he doesn't have an S or any good underlaps, or even an A for Row 8 plays. BOONIER* in my rack, BOONY*, and BOONIEST* (BONITOES/EOBIONTS), but BOONIES is good.
>joeboy2: ADEENNO 8A DONA +23 34
#note Looks fine.
>skaplan31: DEGLOTU 7B DUG +18 66
#note Best and limits what Joel can really do without an S.
>joeboy2: AAEEENT 6A EAT +14 48
>skaplan31: EHJLNOT A4 JO. +18 84
#note Definitely needed to dump the J, it's a worthless tile on this board. I hate only scoring 18, but the J is just gonna handicap me further if I can't score any more. This is not a scenario where I'm confident that I'll have a nice 2 move score by hanging onto the J.
>joeboy2: AEEINSY 10D YEA +24 72
#note Looks good. See what I mean when I said Ss are pretty big here?
>skaplan31: CEHLNTU 4A .EHU +28 112
#note The board has been pretty quiet all game, but it's starting to get a little better. Best again.
>joeboy2: CEINSTZ 5D TIZ +26 98
>skaplan31: CEILNRT 3B RECIT +31 143
#note Definitely not doing RECTI giving him a nice hotspot for free. This is fine.
>joeboy2: ACDENNS K7 SCANNED +78 176
#note Only spot for his bingo.
>skaplan31: AILNSTY 2D SAINTLY +82 225
#note Feeling a little better about myself for now. Good vision here.
>joeboy2: DEGLRRT 12G LEDG.R +18 194
#note Looks good again.
>skaplan31: ABEINOT 13C NIOBATE +81 306
#note Originally had 13D OBTAINED, but got something better despite my original plan being halted!
>joeboy2: ?FKLORT 8K .ROFT +33 227
>skaplan31: EHIILMO 1F HIE +32 338
#note Easily the move again.
>joeboy2: ?EEKLOV A8 .OVELiKE +98 325
#note Nice find Joel!
>skaplan31: AILMOOX 12C OX +38 376
#note Thought about playing defense with N8 FOX, but it just wasn't worth playing partial defense if I can't actually close it. This is best.
>joeboy2: ?EIPRUW B1 WI.. +14 339
>skaplan31: AFILMOP 7M POI +22 398
#note After Joel's fish, I kinda have to take this out. He won't have an easy time bingoing from the E in DOVELIKE, and there aren't that many bingoes starting with 2 vowels that can play on Row 3.
>joeboy2: ?EPRSUW 11A .W +5 344
#note That is a great fish.
>skaplan31: AAAFLMM B14 AM +24 422
#note Good on me for realizing he actually does have bingoes in more than 1 spot on this board: I found that my play wins with every draw except the R because he has O1 SUPERh(IT)S. Not taking out Row 15 wins with every draw except the P because he has ENSURERS and ERASURES, and it also loses with an R draw because he has ESPOUSER. I did not see anythig thru PO or OF with this pool.
>joeboy2: ?EPRRSU M2 REPUR..Se +76 420
#note Unfortunately, I did not see any bingoes thru PO though. I basically had to guess which one to take out even if I did see anything through PO, and once again, nothing I could do to take out everything. By convention, not taking out PO did win 7/8 just like not blocking IT (and not playing on Row 15 won 6/8). Nice find Joel, you played a great game! Frustrating end to a game that I had firmly in hand, especially when I'm now 0-4. Can't catch a break this tourney even with fairly optimal play throughout.
