>llamaste: EGIIRTW 8G WIG +14 14
#note Rd 2 Philly virtual 7-1-2021. Looks good to me.
>skaplan31: HIOPTUY G8 .HUP +16 16
#note Yuck, Column F plays are much better!
>llamaste: EGIOORT 11D GOO. +14 28
#note Nice balance between scoring and leave here too.
>skaplan31: AEIOTTY 12A YETI +28 44
#note This or D11 GOATY are fine.
>llamaste: ?EHIRTW A5 WITcHER. +98 126
#note Wowzer, nice find Mark!
>skaplan31: AIOORTV 7I AVO +11 55
>llamaste: AEEERRS 13B REE +16 142
#note Looks good again.
>skaplan31: DEFIORT B5 OF +31 86
#note Right idea, but it was better to play this at B9. It's much harder to bingo on Column C with my move than B9 EF.
>llamaste: AEEIPRS F2 APERIES +71 213
#note Not sure if this was intentional or not, but it also plays at L1 for 77.
>skaplan31: ADEIRTT K2 TERAT.ID +68 154
#note Opens more stuff long term than 4D ITERATED and is also safer than 9I ATTIRED.
>llamaste: DDEIKSS H11 SKIED +53 266
#note Clearly his best move.
>skaplan31: ABCLMNT F10 M.B +23 177
#note Not doing E4 BALM at this score. This is fine. I did not know 2B TAMBAC.
>llamaste: DENOSTU L7 SNOUTED +81 347
#note He did have 15A STOUNDED for 83 here, but this will certainly do the job for him. Hasn't exactly been my tourney so far.
>skaplan31: ACCLNTU 3H ACC.NT +26 203
#note The most important line for me to be able to hit is the NAPERIES/JAPERIES hook on Row 1. I don't mind a move like this with 4 Ns left, but 13H (I)NCU(D)AL keeps the entire top open nicely. #visionmedium
>llamaste: ADEIJLM 1F JAM +53 400
#note Well that was fast.
>skaplan31: AELLNUU C2 ULAN +14 217
#note No home for LUNULAE. Now the top of the board doesn't matter so much.
>llamaste: ?ADEILN 15H .EADLINe +80 480
#note Not a bad play, but 14A dEADLIN(E) or hEADLIN(E) is insane and actually scores a couple more. Lucky me for being able to benefit off this small mistake.
>skaplan31: AEILQUZ O8 EQUALIZ. +128 345
#note I'm shocked.
>llamaste: AGNOORY 14J YO +29 509
#note This or 14A ORANGY are fine. ORANGY might be the play if he's trying to outrun me, but he's up by enough to where he could go for another bingo with the ACCENTS hook. Therefore, I prefer this over ORANGY.
>skaplan31: BEFIORS 14M BI. +36 381
#note Best play.
>llamaste: AGNNORV 14A VAN +21 530
>skaplan31: EFLORSX E2 FOREX +54 435
#note Best spread cutter here, good find.
>llamaste: GNOR 5H GRO.N +6 536
#note Or 5K ARGON or 5I ORANG or 5H ORGAN.

Too deep of a hole to climb out of again early on, but at least I stopped the bleeding a little bit with EQUALIZE.
>llamaste: (LS) +4 540
