>skaplan31: BEGINOT 8D BIOGEN +24 24
#note Rd 3 Philly virtual 9-5-2021. BINGO also works to keep slightly better, but this is also fine. BOG or GOB are also interesting options to keep the best.
>DaBag: ?BHIIIV H5 VIB. +9 9
#note This is kinda expected from him if he thinks he'll shut the board down so easily. I like exchanging down to HI? or H? better.
>skaplan31: DEGHOST J5 GHOSTED +82 106
#note Yea, not defensive enough to stop this bingo.
>DaBag: ?AEHIIL K4 HI +16 25
#note And a 5v8 plays, F4 HEmI(O)LIA.
>skaplan31: KMORRWX K10 WORK +33 139
#note Thought about doing L1 WORM as well, but this is perfectly safe to make if I suspect he's close to a bingo. I wasn't in any rush to use my M on Column L just yet, and I felt MRX was a more workable leave on this board than KRX specifically due to the L4 spot.
>DaBag: ?AEILPW 13E WAsPLI.E +67 92
#note As nice of a find as this is, I did see a much better option for him- L3 PInWALE. D3 WIPeABLE also plays which I did not see.
>skaplan31: EGJMORX 14D GOX +57 196
#note I don't get to score nearly as much in response after L3 PInWALE. Got lucky.
>DaBag: AILLPQR L3 LAP +26 118
#note I would have done L3 QI as much as the situation sucks. I see why he doesn't wanna give back Column M points, but there's only 4 Is left out of 61 unseen tiles. And HI is much easier to hook than GIP is. He already has Row 15 easily available to him which is gonna be easy for either one of us to hit.
>skaplan31: EEIJMRR L8 JEE +24 220
#note This defense was not necessary though as H10 JIMPER is 60. #gross
>DaBag: EILNQRU M2 QI +26 144
>skaplan31: DIMRRTU 8L .IRD +36 256
#note N1 RID would have given him better counterplay than this.
>DaBag: AEELNRU 15F EAU +19 163
#note Another 5v8 was missed by him. F3 ALEURONE.
>skaplan31: CEMRTUY N6 CU.RY +24 280
#note Definitely not doing N6 MURRY at this score. I'm fine with this one.
>DaBag: EELNNRT 12B LENT +14 177
>skaplan31: EFMMNNT C11 F.M +16 296
#note I'll mimic David Gibson on this turn.
>DaBag: AEEENRT 6J .E +11 188
>skaplan31: EMNNRTY F7 M.NY +17 313
>DaBag: ACEENRT 2M .AT +24 212
>skaplan31: DELNRTV N1 V.N +9 322
#note Right idea to get rid of consos, but I do like 11G VEN(DO)R a little better. #findingsmall
>DaBag: CDEENOR B10 CO.ED +37 249
#note At this score, I personally don't like this move as much as the initial sim liked it. O10 ENCODE for 41 seems very reasonable to make me have to close the left side, which would have been a real pain.
>skaplan31: DELOORT A13 ROD +20 342
#note G6 LO(G)OEDfor 28 would have been sick! #visionlarge
>DaBag: AAAENRS D7 A.A +5 254
#note I see what he's trying to do...
>skaplan31: EFLOSTT 7C F. +9 351
#note Believe in the move, even if it means sacrificing equity.
Just do it.

I hope I made Nike proud.
>DaBag: AEENNRS 4N EN +10 264
>skaplan31: ELOSTTU O10 OUTLET +26 377
#note I did not see G6 TOGUE, but I like this better anyway. I don't want him having as many opportunities to fish for bingoes.
>DaBag: AENORSZ 6A AZO +37 301
#note This is why FA was a strong play.
>skaplan31: ?AIIIST A4 IS.TIn +18 395
#note Not what Quackle suggests, but let's just win the game.
>DaBag: AENRSSU 14K SNAR. +24 325
#note His best move.
>skaplan31: AIR G10 AIR. +8 403
#note Got lucky to benefit off of him missing PInWALE, but me not seeing JIMPER kinda was up there with that. Otherwise, I'm happy to play defense when needed.
>skaplan31: (ESU) +6 409
