>skaplan31: ?EEEGGR 8H EGGER +16 16
#note Rd 4 Philly virtual. I'm 3-0 +339 and Mitchell is 2-1 -116. Just don't lose by more than 227 points and I'll be good to go. 8H EGG, 8D EGGER, and 8H EGGER all have potential to give up big plays so I might as well go thru more tiles in the hopes of ending the game faster.
>DaBag: AEHORVX J8 .OX +27 27
#note L3 HOAXER might be the play to best blast the board open, but this is fine to go thru fewer tiles and not entirely block off the 2x2. I like this play.
>skaplan31: ??AEIST K5 And.SITE +85 101
#note You know things are going your way when an easy rack such as this arises. After taking some time, several 2x2s exist, but this is 1 of 2 that score 85, with the other one being K4 EsTh(E)SIA, which I did not know. The other 2x2s are eAT(E)rIES, ArT(E)rIES, ArS(E)nITE, and wAST(E)rIE for 84 each.
>DaBag: ADEHNRV 12H HAV.N +30 57
#note 5E VERAHDAH does play for 80 here.
>skaplan31: AABELNU H12 .ABU +27 128
#note Easily best.
>DaBag: DEENNRY 13G N.Y +20 77
#note Another difficult position for him in terms of whether to open up more with L1 NEEDY or L1 NERDY or slow the game down with this.
>skaplan31: AEILLNO 6E LANOLI.E +61 189
#note Yes!
>DaBag: ADEENQR -EQ +0 77
#note Looks fine again to not block things.
>skaplan31: ILLORTW E3 TWI.L +16 205
#note I'm up by enough that I can withstand a bingo at this point, but I think F6 ALLOW goes thru just as many tiles and plays better defense as well. #findingsmall
>DaBag: ADEINRZ F2 ZA +33 110
#note Too bad ZEGGER* can't be good, otherwise G4 RENDZINA would have been a nice find for him. This is still easily best tho.
>skaplan31: ADLORUV 4A VROU. +30 235
#note I can continue to just play to win and not have to worry about giving up so much spread as I pretty much will win this tourney as both blanks are on the board.
>DaBag: DEEIINR A4 .INED +27 137
>skaplan31: AADEILO B6 ALODIA +20 255
#note Definitely not doing G2 ADO here. This is fine to start closing the board more and go thru 3 more tiles.
>DaBag: EIOPRRU A11 PURER +28 165
>skaplan31: EPRSTTY C11 PETTY +27 282
#note This plays nice defense on Column D, but I did miss a bingo- 15F SPUTTERY for 64.
>DaBag: EFFIOOW D12 FOO +26 191
>skaplan31: DIMRSST M9 MIDST +34 316
#note Best play.
>DaBag: EEFIOQW N8 WIFE +38 229
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: CJNRRSS C3 C.RNS +23 339
#note Best play again.
>DaBag: CEKOOQU O5 COKE +45 274
#note I like this play too.
>skaplan31: AEHJNRS G1 HAJ +50 389
#note Mhm
>DaBag: AGIIOQU H1 AG +37 311
>skaplan31: DEEMNRS O11 EMEND +37 426
#note Not sure if I should be shocked that 1G HERDSMEN got blocked, but this is still the play, there's no chance of me Q-sticking him.
>DaBag: BEIIOQU 15K EQUI. +25 336
>skaplan31: RST H4 ST.R. +6 432
#note 5J TARS or 1G HARTS are 2 points better. Successful tourney for the most part, just gotta work on my endgames. Last 2 games were fine, first 2 were far from fine.
