>skaplan31: ADENOST - +0 0
#note Rd 2 Philly virtual 7-4-2021. I'm 2nd. Let's see if I can shake off the anguish of blowing a game I should have won.
>hellacia: EGIIRRV 8G GIVER +18 18
#note Interesting placement. I like 8G VIRGER better, I just don't think IR is a particularly friendly combination to leave especially with IR already on the board.
>skaplan31: ADENOST L2 DONATES +79 79
#note So far so good.
>hellacia: AIIIIRS 2J RA.II +16 34
#note The leave isn't that good, but this is the most she can score.
>skaplan31: AEINORS 1E ERASION +75 154
#note Yea I guess I'm in decent shape with 2 baby draws in a row.
>hellacia: AEFIISZ K5 ZA +46 80
#note Looks good, she can play J6 FIE next turn as a nice way to groom her rack.
>skaplan31: ?CETUWY J6 WY. +31 185
#note However, I'm gonna groom my rack just as nicely and take that scoring spot. Easily best.
>hellacia: EEFIIQS 1N QI +44 124
>skaplan31: ?BCENTU H8 .NCUBaTE +92 277
#note One of only 3 possible 8s with this rack. I also saw BEECHNUT, but not ABDUCENT. Still, good thing I found this one.
>hellacia: CEEFIPS 12H .ICEP +22 146
#note I would not have done G13 FE with this rack, however, I like M2 IF better than BICEP. She can slow the game down better and keep nicely. For all we know, she could draw SAPIENCE, ESPECIAL, SPECIATE, etc.
>skaplan31: AEHLLOX 10H .OXAL +30 307
#note 11K HOAX. Good thing I'm still up by enough, and I did not know 11D HALLUX.
>hellacia: EFLPSUV 2B PELF +23 169
>skaplan31: EEHKLLU 13K LEKU +22 329
#note Looks good.
>hellacia: ANSSUVW 3K W.NS +36 205
#note I definitely like this move over 14K SWAN or 3A VAW, Column C is important for her to leave open. Good thing LEKUS* isn't good.
>skaplan31: EEGHLRT 3B EH +24 353
#note Might as well eliminate Columns B, C, and D myself while scoring the most possible, and she has to have an M to do anything meaningful with what I just gave her.
>hellacia: AADHSUV 14L DAH +36 241
#note It does suck to keep the UV combo again, but this scores more than almost anything. This is definitely best for her.
>skaplan31: EEGLNRT 15B GREENL.T +60 413
#note All or nothing kind of position. The highest nonbingo is 13C TELEGA which I did not know. I'll take the only bingo that I saw.
>hellacia: AMRSTUV B13 VU. +14 255
#note At this point, since Robin doesn't have great scoring options, she might as well dump the annoying UV combo. She keeps the Es in GREENLET open as well as the M for Column A bingoes. This is a nice move.
>skaplan31: ABDFGIY 1A FAY +41 454
#note If I can't block, might as well score.
>hellacia: AMMNRST 13G M.T +11 266
#note Another nice play.
>skaplan31: BDDGIOT E11 DODG. +16 470
#note I purposely played this at E11 instead of D11 to not give her a 2x2 to work with. She does need to bingo 3 times to get back in this, but this placement won't allow her to score the equivalent of 3 bingoes.
>hellacia: ?AMNRST A3 MARTeNS +85 351
#note MATRoNS, MARTiNS, and MANTRaS all work in this spot. Good thing I made my placement last move, otherwise she would have 2x2'd, not that it would have changed the game result, just a loss of a couple spread points.
>skaplan31: BIIJORT D10 JIB +35 505
#note Ok, I can't help but laugh at this unseen pool!
>hellacia: AEIOOOU 13A A.O +12 363
#note 13B (V)IE(D) would have been nice!
>skaplan31: EIORT 5A .IOTER +12 517
#note So safe to say, the sting from the first game is in the rear view mirror.
>skaplan31: (EIOOU) +10 527
