>Christian_Oktavius: EEIOPRT 5K PREE +25 343
#note Saw TOPEE but it allowed ETHE and open bingo spot. I started to concern about ABETTAL, so PREE was chosen, since (maybe) not open bingo spot and close bingo spot if ABETTALS is good

#note Another move indicate JUlius was close or having homeless bingo (his last move, SIF was also suspicious)

>Christian_Oktavius: CEGGNOT 8N .G +9 415
#note With 2 tiles left remained, and possible bingo spot (PUT), only if SPUT* is good.
I am assumed SPUT* is a word, since the only possible bingo spot is in that. But with 70 points lead, and 2 tile still in bag, was blocking the correct play??

The only considered blocking play I found first was GONAD, but if Julius at with ILROSU? then he will be able to play a bingo in GONAD and snatch a victory. After a few minutes I found better blocking, TEAS for only 4 points and leave disastrous rack.

Considering there are still 2 tiles remained in bag, and again, who told SPUT* is a word? So I recount the score and find out that even if JUlius bingo and I challenge it (SPUT*) and turn out to be valid word, I will still have spare margin, only if I dump one letter this turn and forced him to take one last tile in bag. So final decision, leave it open, play only 1 tile in this turn. But I shouldn't rushing play 1 tile since I missed better spot
>Julius_Wilson: ?ILORSU 4E LOURIeS +63 399
>Julius_Wilson: ?ILORSU -- -63 336
#note Julius, in fact, got ILORSU?. The 7 combination that I find out will enable him to snatch a victory if I play GONAD in J3. If I decided to play GONAD and let JUlius found his winning bingo, I doubt I will be able to forgive myself... LOL

And, SPUT* is not a word
