>Arie_Sinke: DEINOOS J8 .OO +11 35
#note Frustrating not to have a playable bingo, but this play is fine.
>Christopher_Sykes: BDIIS 13I BIDIS +34 124

#note This play is fine.
>Christopher_Sykes: ARTX 6J R.TAX +30 154
>Arie_Sinke: DEINSST G3 SNIDEST +70 111
#note Highest scoring and best bingo.
>Christopher_Sykes: AFLO 14G LOAF +32 186
>Arie_Sinke: ABGTUUW 15F TAW +35 146
#note This is unpalatable but basically forced.
>Christopher_Sykes: AAGJR 13C JAGRA +32 218
>Arie_Sinke: BGINRUU 3C RUBU. +14 160
#note I really thought I needed to bingo fast here, so I was willing to give up a substantial amount of immediate points to balance the rack and bail out the Us. Quackle favors the more patient approach of playing BUR or BUG at 7M, scoring 10 more points now while hanging onto a U.
>Christopher_Sykes: LMM D12 M.LM +22 240
>Arie_Sinke: EGINORY 7K .OY +25 185
#note This looks right.
>Christopher_Sykes: OOZ 15A ZOO. +45 285

>Arie_Sinke: AAINOOR N5 I.ORA +19 278
#note This offers good balance of score and leave. I am really in trouble here; althogh I have just created a line on an otherwise dead corner of the board, it's easy to block and I have basically nowhere to bingo. I have to pin all my hopes on outrunning without a bingo. My best shot may be if he doesn't have an E and has to make some low scoring block that misses O9 and I get something down from O1 that scores well.
>Christopher_Sykes: EH O8 EH +26 332
>Arie_Sinke: EEIIKNO 8A KOI.E +38 316
#note Clearly best.
>Christopher_Sykes: ACDV 5A CAV.D +22 354
>Arie_Sinke: ADINPTW O1 DIWAN +32 348
#note This seems like the best way to inject some volatility into the game - the 1H spot is a serious threat that needs to be addressed.
>Christopher_Sykes: CH 2M CH. +16 370
>Arie_Sinke: EELPTUU I2 LETUP +23 371
#note This will win if I draw the blank - he can't outscore (P)Un(N)E(T) 4D 15.
>Christopher_Sykes: ?AFGILN 15J FAGINs +42 412
>Arie_Sinke: ENU A8 .UNE +8 379
#note PUNNET is still available.
