>Jonathan_Lindh: ?CEEILY 8G YE +10 10
#note Game 1 2022 World Cup Early Bird. I spent 6 minutes on this rack. No bingo exists. I'm not blowing up this rack with LYCEE but ICY could be a good alternative to this play.
>David_Gremaud: HIMW I7 WHIM +26 26
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?CEIILS 11C ChILIES +79 89
#note I also spent way too long on this rack. All of the top bingos (like mine) are 79 points. I was in the mood for shaping boards into complicated shapes this tournament and honestly I think it played a role in my success.
>David_Gremaud: ADR C11 .ARD +14 40
#note Excellent aggressive play by David. He said he kept an S to do this play. I could not do much about this play.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAAEILT 10E AA +10 99
#note I didn't see D8 ALTHAEA for 23. That might be the play. Nothing really stands out and my play along with a bunch of others are all 72%-73% to win.
>David_Gremaud: EEILRSS 15A RESILES +82 122
#note Best play.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAEILPT 14F PA +22 121
#note First major mistake of the Early Bird and my first missed bingo. 13A PARIETAL for 61. PIA in the same spot is also better than my play.
>David_Gremaud: QU 12A QU. +22 144
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABEILTX 12A ...IL +33 154
#note I like this play to take out the lucrative QUA__ scoring spot but Quackle like dumping the X for some reason for much less.
>David_Gremaud: EFORT 13F OFTER +28 172
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABEOSTX G5 BOX. +24 178
#note Major mistake number #2. I saw TEABOX on my rack but whiffed on the 14I spot. That or 7G BOW for 23 look best.
>David_Gremaud: ACNORY H1 CRAYON +51 223
#note I get punished for BOXY.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEKPSTT 9C PAK +20 198
#note Maybe a little too fishy but did not want to block bingo lanes.
>David_Gremaud: ITUV 2F VI.TU +18 241
>Jonathan_Lindh: EGINSTT 14I TESTING +76 274
#note I did not see the VIRTUE spot until next turn. Quackle likes my play best out of all of the bingos but I think it's needlessly aggressive. The J and the Z are still out and I could get mauled at O12.
>David_Gremaud: ?EHNO 15K HONE +20 261
#note David said he had the blank here which makes this an awesome play. His play makes something like ZIGs or ZAGs for 90 a very real possibility and I can't block effectively without sacrificing too many points. One of my favorite plays from my opponents this tourney,
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEEGIUW K1 WEDGE +29 303
#note Now I see the VIRTUE spot but I need to play K1 WEDGIE to avoid IU. WEDGE is near the top but WEDGIE is at the top.
>David_Gremaud: ?ADDEOR L5 ROADbED +62 323
#note ROADBED is a cool find but the engine prefers forgoing the bingo here with 1K WADED for 33, which opens a few more lines. DEODARs and DEODARa are also 63 in the same spot.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EFIJLOU 13M JO +41 344
#note Best play.
>David_Gremaud: BIR 8L .RIB +21 344
>Jonathan_Lindh: EFGILTU F6 FE +36 380
#note I looked for 8A plays, but couldn't come up with GLUT. GLUT also saves F6 FE for next turn while taking away the major spot on the board. I got lucky David did not have a play at A8.
>David_Gremaud: AANZ M2 AZAN +29 373
>Jonathan_Lindh: GILOTTU 8A GOUT +25 405
#note I find GOUT in time which closes A8 and is a 100% win. If I don't take this spot, David has OVUM for a ton.
>David_Gremaud: EMNNOUV K10 MON +20 393
#note Best play.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ILT J9 TI +16 421
#note Best play.
>David_Gremaud: ENUV N6 VE.N +15 408
#note 2nd best play behind O12 VEG for 21. VEIN is 4 back.
>Jonathan_Lindh: L 7E L.. +10 431
#note Best play.
>Jonathan_Lindh: (U) +2 433
