>skaplan31: ACEIKRT - +0 0
#note Rd 1 Philly virtual 5-2-2021. I'm 2nd.
>DaBag: ELOSTUZ 8G LUTZ +26 26
#note TOUZLES does play for 84 here.
>skaplan31: ACEIKRT F5 TACKIER +85 85
#note Good thing I saw the KLUTZ hook, otherwise I had no spot for this bingo. No 8s exist.
>DaBag: EEEMNOS J6 ME.E +21 47
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: AEFHOOO E9 HOOF +31 116
#note Mhm
>DaBag: EEFLNOS D10 FLOE +33 80
#note He has 13B ONESELF and 5B FELSTONE which were both missed. This is best nonbingo.
>skaplan31: ??AAEOR 14B ROsAcEA +67 183
#note 10H for 5 more. I3 cAvE(A)TOR is a sick play that is more conservative.
>DaBag: DEIJNSW H12 JE.N +57 137
#note H13 JAW seems like too big a sacrifice. I'd make this play myself.
>skaplan31: AAILOPT 12H .ALOP +28 211
#note Best play.
>DaBag: BDISSTW 13G W.B +31 168
#note Looks good again.
>skaplan31: AINPRTY M11 PYIN +36 247
#note While it might normally be OK to block JALOPS plays, it's definitely not OK to miss Column K plays with KLUTZY though. Therefore, maybe K5 PINY or K3 PARITY? #visionbad
>DaBag: DIRSSTV 10H VIS +26 194
>skaplan31: ACDNRTT K4 DRAT +16 263
#note Meh play. I think K9 TAROC needed to be done here for 7 more. That way, he doesn't get out of his consonant mess so easily as his last 2 plays suggested consonant heavy leaves.
>DaBag: DGIRSTV K11 V.G +14 208
#note I guess he could have gotten out of his mess either way if he had done 6B VIRGA or something. This play is fine too.
>skaplan31: CDGINRT E3 CRIT +18 281
#note Is GINRT really that good on this board by doing C13 DOC which I saw? I do need to draw vowels again. My win % doesn't really go up that much due to the lack of open vowels and that if I draw more consonants, I'm gonna be in a world of hurt.
>DaBag: DEEIRST 3B DIS.RETE +76 284
#note I guess I feel a little better knowing I wasn't gonna stop him from bingoing because he also had 4H REDDIEST and B7 DESTRIER.
>skaplan31: DDGIINX 2A NIX +35 316
#note Definitely not doing N10 XI here. This is perfectly safe.
>DaBag: ABHLOOW H1 BO.H +39 323
#note His best move.
>skaplan31: ADDGISY C13 Y.D +24 340
>DaBag: AEEELOW L4 EEW +28 351
>skaplan31: ADGIISU 1A ID +20 360
#note Interesting how 14J USING is the best move. It's only 4 more than my play.
>DaBag: AEELNOO D3 .OLE +18 369
>skaplan31: AGGINSU M1 AGINGS +33 393
#note Interesting spot. I guess 14L NUG works but I'm just gonna get outrun too easily. I block Row 1 bingoes effectively as well as Column N bingoes too while taking a decent lead. My only concern was him hitting 1L QATS for 69 and the possibility of drawing another U with 2 more left. The sim does have a win % of about 8% greater which is a bigger deal than I thought.
>DaBag: AEINNOQ N10 QI +35 404
#note Easily best for him and I'm officially screwed because I picked up all the Us!
>skaplan31: AMRTUUU O11 AURUM +29 422
#note Easily best but no wins exist because I can't outrun N1 NONES.
>DaBag: AAENNOS N1 NONES +30 434
#note Yep. He found his only win.
>skaplan31: TU 1H .UT +5 427
#note Or L14 UT or 1F TUB.

It would have been interesting to see how this game would have played out if I had done 14L GNU instead of trying to outrun Mitchell without bingoing. But, since he likes to play for score instead of leave more often than not, I ultimately decided to score and it didn't work out well in the end. Nice game Mitchell!
