>Jim_Burlant: ?AOORRV 8H ARVO +14 14
#note There are no 7's in this rack. Can someone explain why the duck thinks the 8F or 8G placements are better?
>Chris_Guilbert: LNR K7 L.RN +4 4
>Jim_Burlant: ??IOOOR -IOOO +0 14
#note I spent minutes looking at this rack and the triplicated O's and duplicated blanks were just too much for me to figure out. Best bingos here are ROOIBOS L2 (a word I didn't know) and a bunch of other words I do know but couldn't find. Amazingly I only sacrifice 8% winning chances. But I make up for it in style on the next turn.
>Chris_Guilbert: ADEEERT H6 DE.ERATE +60 64
>Jim_Burlant: ??EIKMR 13B dIEMaK.R +86 100
#note Lots of style points for this choice. However, the more pedestrian sMIRKEd scores 15 more scoreboard points at 14B.
>Chris_Guilbert: AGUY B10 GAU.Y +24 88
>Jim_Burlant: DEEMTWY 14H DEWY +32 132
#note Lots of good options here. Best is apparently 14D TEW for 32. Really?
>Chris_Guilbert: OORV E9 VROO. +20 108
>Jim_Burlant: EIIMRTU A14 MI +19 151
#note I finally get one right.
>Chris_Guilbert: CDFILNS -CDF +0 108
>Jim_Burlant: EILNRTU D12 L.U +10 161
>Chris_Guilbert: ADZ 13K ADZ +31 139
>Jim_Burlant: EINORTT N7 TRITONE +73 234
#note No matter how I slice it, all my bingo options give back huge amounts of counterplay: 6A INTORTED and 7A TENORITE slot the triple, and this gives back a bonanza at O8. Given all that, take the most points. This is best - just shy of 90% to win.
>Chris_Guilbert: IST O13 SIT +24 163
>Jim_Burlant: EPSUUWX 8M U.P +15 249
#note Trading equity for defense. This limits L column bingoes to L1 and his only good line now is the A column, if he can hit. This sims mid-pack but I'm in excellent shape: 91% to win.
>Chris_Guilbert: AAAEEGO -OAA +0 163
>Jim_Burlant: BENSUWX F12 W.X +34 283
>Chris_Guilbert: BE 12K BE +22 185
>Jim_Burlant: BENPSSU 11A B.P +7 290
#note I spent waaaay too long on this turn and I thought I was being oh-so clever with my defense here. I only realized a turn later that I've now potentially given him HIJAB. <>
>Chris_Guilbert: EFHN G9 FE +20 205
#note Annotation stopoped here as I was getting seriously low on time. Nothing of import happens - he opens up, I keep blocking, I play like a dunce and give him a huge J bomb in the late game and, for good measure, I go almost 2 minutes over. But this is so one-sided the only thing that does is reduce the spread. Final score recorded as my win, 385 - 351.
