>skaplan31: ADEILRV 8B RIVALED +80 80
#note Rd 1 Philly virtual 11-28-2021. Good start.
>franktangredi: CEORRTW E5 CRE.TOR +36 36
#note C4 COWR(I)TER does play for 65. Nice 2x2 tho.
>skaplan31: ?ABHISX F8 .AX +53 133
>franktangredi: ?DEORSW 5E .hOWDERS +76 112
#note I respect this find. While H8 (D)EWDROpS is the highest scoring bingo for 89 (and another nice find!), I would have seriously considered B7 D(R)OWnERS and 12B WORStED if I were in Frank's position.
>skaplan31: ?BHISVY G7 B.VY +42 175
#note Easily best.
>franktangredi: AAEENOS 4J AEON +16 128
>skaplan31: ?HIMOSU B8 .HOdIUMS +78 253
#note Thought about doing 7G (B)OHrIUMS briefly, but Ss in the 2nd position of a 3x3 are not too dangerous and this board can still be hooked easily. So I went with the points.
>franktangredi: AEMPSTT D10 PAT +28 156
#note Holy crap C8 (I)MPASTE is sick! I'm not sure I would have spotted that. But PAT did block my clear best move with my next rack, and I'm fine with this play too.
>skaplan31: ADEFNNN H3 FA.NE. +18 271
#note I would have been perfectly happy to do D10 FANNED for a nice score. I did see 3L DEAF but do I really want to risk having a rack of 5 Ns like someone did to start a game once? I think the rack was GINNNNN or something like that.

Anyway, 13A F(U)N was also FUN to think about, but I also liked 6 more points here while I had a lead and prevent some high scoring parallels on Row 3.
>franktangredi: EEEGMST A14 ME +24 180
#note As aggressive as it is, I really like 3L MEG here. He not only can score a lot to get back in the game, but easy reparallels can happen on Row 2 to give him a nice score for Row 1 plays too.
>skaplan31: ABDIJNN 3L BIND +23 294
#note Yea, I suppose I could try to reparallel with my J on row 2 now, but maybe let's do C3 DJINNI instead. I did overestimate future scoring prospects with the J, which aren't as abundant as I once thought. I should have just dumped it now. #strategylarge
>franktangredi: EEGISTZ O1 ZE. +39 219
>skaplan31: AIJLLNU 12A J.L. +19 313
>franktangredi: AEGIIST 2M GI. +16 235
#note Nice play.
>skaplan31: AFILNOU 6B FOU. +15 328
#note 1H INFULA was not passed up tho, that's a miss.
>franktangredi: AAEISTU 7G ..AU +7 242
>skaplan31: ADILNRW C3 WIN. +14 342
#note Not necessary, G2 placement would have been fine to knock out all bingoes on Row 1.
>franktangredi: AEEINST 13D ETESIAN +65 307
#note Unless he has that of course. All righty then.
>skaplan31: ADHLORT 8J HOLARD +38 380
>franktangredi: CELTTUY H12 C.TY +36 343
#note Looks like the clear best play.
>skaplan31: EIOPQRT M7 Q.T +23 403
#note Maybe F2 QOP(h)? #findingsmall
>franktangredi: EIKLOTU N6 KI. +28 371
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: AEIOPRS O8 .IASPORE +92 495
#note Lucky me to effectively win this game here.
>franktangredi: EGLNOTU 12H .LUNG +20 391
#note 12F NO(C)TULE is insane! But then he doesn't get as much of a 2-move score leaving only the G.
>skaplan31: EGI G1 GIE +11 506
#note B1 for 2 more. I think I could have realized when to dump the J better than I did by realizing that the J was not really going to take me anywhere with respect to scoring. I did like FAWNED over FUN as that easily eliminated more opportunities that Frank could have utilized. Nice start to this one.
