#note whoever won this game was going to obtain some cash.

>JD: FOORRST F6 FO.R +15 33
#note limits what he can do, saves the S hook for me.

#note at least I set up my Is lol
>Rob_Robinsky: ABCGORV H12 G.AV +30 150
>JD: IIIORTY K2 TORII +21 167
#note phew, played through the Is
>Rob_Robinsky: ABCEOOR 4F BRACE.O +24 174
#note interesting choice. I would play something fishier here, but this has its merits with the blanks unseen.
>JD: HIIIINY H1 HIY. +30 197
#note OH GOD THE I'S ARE BACK MAKE IT STOP
>Rob_Robinsky: DINNOSW L3 W.ON +26 200
>JD: DIIILNT 15F LI.ID +9 206
#note need to score more than this. the top play is INTIL at J10 which also turns over an extra tile (important with both blanks unseen)
>Rob_Robinsky: DEIJNSX M1 JINS +46 246
#note lol quackle's top option is delightfully psycho: IDES at M1 setting up JINX!!! I don't think that's a playable move against a human opponent, but love the idea...
>JD: DFILNTT 1L D.IN +42 248
#note Type a note here!good riddance to the final I; meanwhile, 10 Es unseen...
>Rob_Robinsky: AADEEVX A14 EX +29 275
#note Q thinks EAVED instead - increase chances of drawing a blank, and hope to draw a big X play at 15M
>JD: ?EEFLTT G7 F.ET +29 277
#note phew, pulled a blank
>Rob_Robinsky: AADERVY D11 YE.RD +31 306
>JD: ?AEELTU M6 sETUALE +70 347
#note I didn't spot NUCLEATE (sad) but this is definitely the play, minimizes rob's chances of bingoing back.
>Rob_Robinsky: AACNPSV 13J VACS +32 338
#note rough spot - maybe PAVEN at 12J to set up the S?
>JD: ?AAEMTU L12 A.ME +22 369
#note lucky to pull the other blank. I was reluctant to play ATUA at 8L because of fear that I might be opening up a bingo, but it turns out there are none. I also thought about MA at J10, but ACME seemed better for tempo. one way or the other, I'm in very good shape.
>Rob_Robinsky: AEKMNNP K10 KAN.E +25 363
#note MAK here sets up a couple of crazy wins by creating bingos in two spots: a T? draw leads to INPAT(I)EN(T) on row 2, while a U? draw leads to NENUPHAR on row 1 (and UNPANEL on column O to make NENUPHAR unblockable). However, the best try here is really cool and unusual - KNAP at 10K wins with draws of A? or E? by setting up big outs in two spots! see if you can work through the pre-endgames.
>JD: ?AENOTU O1 .ANOTUbE +74 443
#note so after KNAP and a draw of A? or E?, rob threatens SEAMAN/SEAMEN; if I block (for very few points) then he keeps ANEMIA or MELENA on row 3. really cool pre-endgame!
