>skaplan31: ?ACNOUV - +0 0
#note Rd 3 Philly virtual 5-13-2021. I'm 2nd.
>mahomes: EIILRRT -IR +0 0
#note I definitely agree with exchanging, if you're gonna do it, better to do it on the first move.
>skaplan31: ?ACNOUV 8B UNVOCAl +80 80
#note Looked for some time and this is the only bingo.
>mahomes: EILLRTU F1 TELLURI. +64 64
#note Odds of him bingoing back were very good, but this is still a nice find.
>skaplan31: BENQRST 5E Q.ERN +28 108
#note I did see the BENRSTU anagrams at 5E for 36 each, but this is still better.
>mahomes: AHKNNOZ 1F .HANK +36 100
#note Sims about even with 2B KHAZEN.
>skaplan31: BIRSTTU 3C BUI.T +16 124
#note Wasn't sure how to feel about doing G7 TABU here. It is normally a play that is worth considering against David, but I just felt the game was too close to make an aggressive move like that and risk him going ahead on an X play. I also didn't love the polarizing nature of the IRST leave. Thoughts?
>mahomes: ADENOOZ 7E D.ZEN +51 151
#note I think AZON is worth thinking about here to set up his N nicely. But, typical him comes into play scoring nicely without giving much back to me with this over 4A ZOON regardless of how poorly he might keep.
>skaplan31: FORSTTX G7 ..X +27 151
#note 2B FOX in CSW lol.
>mahomes: ADEIOOT 4H OOTID +19 170
>skaplan31: FIORSTT 4A FRIT +30 181
#note Looks fine.
>mahomes: AEIJOPW A1 WAI. +30 200
#note This is an example of great rack management. He can score better without having to use the J immediately than with the J and keeps a nice, balanced leave.
>skaplan31: AEELOST L4 .ESOLATE +60 241
#note Mhm
>mahomes: AEEJNOP B6 JE. +26 226
#note 10J JETON is not a bad move to make here because I am random and he can take out a very easy to hit 2x2 lane.
>skaplan31: ?AEIMSW M9 MAnWISE +88 329
#note I did not know DESOLATE took an S, and I also did not know sWAMIES. Otherwise, MAnWISE at 12G would have easily been my move. I also missed SEMIrAW which would have been worth playing at K7 for only 4 less to not place an E so dangerously open.
>mahomes: AEGNOPT 15G PEONAG. +36 262
#note K3 P(I)NOTAGE is extremely nice board vision right here! This is his best nonbingo.
>skaplan31: CEEGNOV K9 NEG +22 351
#note I did look for plays that would block Row 14 and the I in MANWISE nicely, but I just couldn't come across 14F CONGE. That's what I needed to do at this score. #findingmedium
>mahomes: AAGOSTY 3I YAG +26 288
#note Not sure if he knew that DESOLATES is good as well. 12L SWAY is 48 in this case.
>skaplan31: CEIMORV N6 VICE +23 374
#note Not the best play again. While I do eliminate Row 14, I do actually give back more hooks on Row 15. B1 OM is fine.
>mahomes: AAOSSTU D8 .ATU +7 295
>skaplan31: EFHLMOR E11 HOLM +28 402
#note Seeing his last play was rather aggressive, I think I need to take this out and set up my E.
>mahomes: ABIORSS 12D S.BA +28 323
#note 12L SWOB for 44 for him here.
>skaplan31: EFIOPRR 15A FRORE +37 439
#note I did look for some time for bingoes just because of the NAME hooks on Row 15, but since I thought none existed (turns out I was right), I can just be me and start racking up spread.
>mahomes: DDIORSY F12 .OY +33 356
#note J1 (K)Y(AT)S would have been 2 points better for him in this endgame. This move yields the same spread as 13G YIRDS.
>skaplan31: EIP B12 PIE. +12 451
#note About time I play an optimal preendgame and endgame. 3-0 with some nice spread now.
>skaplan31: (DDIRS) +14 465
