>Chris_Cree: DDRUY 8H RUDDY +28 28
>Jim_Burlant: AEEGIIT K5 GIE. +12 12
#note Only bingo in these letters is GAIETIES, which means it's either this or GAIETY for 20 at L3. Nothing really good to choose from.
>Chris_Cree: NZ 6J Z.N +32 60
>Jim_Burlant: AEIITTT M3 TATE +21 33
#note I needed to turn more tiles here. Couldn't think of TITTIE or TATTIE, which are definitely better than this; those duplicated I's need to go ASAP.
>Chris_Cree: ALX 7G LAX +38 98
>Jim_Burlant: GIIJMRT N2 JIG +27 60
#note I didn't like this due to what it gave back but didn't see much else. The best play here is pretty slick: MI(N)T(Y) L4 scores 34 and doesn't have the board position issues this does.
>Chris_Cree: FIRSSUV L4 FU. +30 128
#note Actual rack.
>Jim_Burlant: HILLMRT L8 .IRTH +22 82
#note It's either this or G2 THRILL for cheap. 17% to win.
>Chris_Cree: ?IORSSV O4 SaVIORS +89 217
#note He told me after the game he had fished O? when he played FUN. Yeah, I bet that was FUN for him. And he's probably having more fun than I am, since he's winning 94%.
>Jim_Burlant: ELLMNSU M12 MULL +19 101
#note I saw MULLENS in my rack and, after thinking about it, told myself, "Nah, that's not a word. Chris Mullin is the basketball coach at St. Johns. MULLENS will score 0 after he challenges it off." So I went with this. Too bad, as MULLENS is indeed a word. That said, this is still bleak; MULLENS 13F wins 11%. This wins 4. The consolation: it probably wouldn't have mattered much, if at all.
>Chris_Cree: DMOY 15K MO.DY +36 253
>Jim_Burlant: EENOOSU -EOOU +0 101
#note Between my missed bingo and this putrid drawing, this game is almost officially over. Best is ostensibly 14M LOO...I never saw it. Too worn out and flustered by now.
>Chris_Cree: CIOW G5 WI.CO +24 277
>Jim_Burlant: EGKNNSW 5D KNE. +22 123
#note Even his routine rack dumps are killing me. I was going to play KNEW on row 6, and while I still score 22, now I have to hold the W another turn.
>Chris_Cree: AH N13 HA. +23 300
>Jim_Burlant: AEGNSVW F2 WAV. +18 141
#note Anything is as good as anything else.
>Chris_Cree: ADIOP F9 PODIA +14 314
>Jim_Burlant: EEEGNST N8 GEE +15 156
#note Deliberately played this instead of D2 GEEK in order to keep the board from shutting down. If I play GEEK, it leaves him one play away from totally closing the board, unless I'm inclined to look for disconnected 9's on rows 2 and 3.
>Chris_Cree: FOOP E10 POOF +35 349
>Jim_Burlant: EELNRST 3A TELER.NS +68 224
>Chris_Cree: ACEEN A3 .ENACE +27 376
>Jim_Burlant: ABEINRT G13 BI +18 242
#note Right idea, wrong execution. I should probably slot the 3x3 and play BIN or BIT just to give myself a chance.
>Chris_Cree: IQ H1 QI. +36 412
>Jim_Burlant: AENORTU 15A OUTEARN +79 321
>Chris_Cree: ?ABEIST C8 BATtIES. +70 482
#note I literally laughed out loud as this came down.
>Chris_Cree: (AENOR) +10 492
