>Sam_Kantimathi: EFOORSX J3 FOX +22 85
>Jesse_Day: ABBEIIR 12D BABIE. +22 103
#note many very similar plays here. need to play off the Bs. pretty even between BABIES and BARBIES for 2 more points, or I can play BARBIE at C9 for 4 more points.
>Sam_Kantimathi: EEORSTU K5 OU +24 109
>Jesse_Day: AEHIORV E3 OVERHAI. +78 181
>Jesse_Day: ADDGNOY (challenge) +5 186
>Sam_Kantimathi: EELRRST 3J .RET +14 123
#note he can score a few more points with FEELER at H10 here.
>Jesse_Day: ADDGNOY 4L DOGY +34 220
#note clever play available - GONAD at 13C sets up my remaining letters very nicely (AND/BAY/-DY)
>Sam_Kantimathi: EEILMRS O1 ELM. +27 150
>Jesse_Day: AACDKNN D5 DACK +39 259
>Sam_Kantimathi: EGINRSS L6 SIGNERS +72 222
>Jesse_Day: AANNTTT 8A TAN.. +27 286
#note interesting draw. I didn't come up with the sweet NATANT at 13C.
>Sam_Kantimathi: ?DJLOTZ 13C JOL +26 248
#note DOJO at 3B might be a good play here - doesn't give back too many points, sets up a Z scoring play for next turn on row 2
>Jesse_Day: ANOPTTW 14B POWAN +44 330
>Sam_Kantimathi: ?CDETWZ 15A DEW +38 286
>Jesse_Day: ALNOTTU 3A TOUT.N +12 342
#note this is starting to be a scary position with both blanks unseen to me. I was looking for a way to block a bunch of the lanes, and also play tiles so I can pull a blank myself. however, he still has plenty of places to bingo after TOUTON (row 15, row 1, column N), and the bingos I'm blocking might be ones that I could've outrun. TOUTON only drops his bingo % to 29% from 34% after FOETAL H10 or NOUT 15E. I would definitely take FOETAL in hindsight.
>Sam_Kantimathi: ?CEHOTZ 2B ZO +46 332
#note very aggressive. I kind of like TOZE/BABIEST here which is even more aggressive - CH? will either bingo or score a lot next turn
>Jesse_Day: AAELNRU A1 NA.URE +33 375
#note perhaps NEURAL at 15E, sacrificing 9 points but saving the last A for AZO at A2 and giving me an extra shot at a blank
>Sam_Kantimathi: ?CEHNPT 10A CH........ +26 358
#note nice play - looks best because it saves P- bingos on row 15 (ALAP)
>Jesse_Day: ?ADEELM 1C MEDALEd +85 460
>Jesse_Day: II (challenge) +5 465
#note I may lose from here. I went over on time trying to designate the blank correctly, and could've lost as a result. I had a couple of minutes to think about placement. bingoing up top wins 30/36; at the bottom, 27.5/36 because of a lot of Q bingos up top (QUEENITE, PETANQUE, PREUNITE). Fishing the L for LEVIRATES up top is a choice, or perhaps fishing an E, but could lose if I pull the Q.
>Sam_Kantimathi: ?ENPQTU 15F EQUaNT +44 402
#note fortunately for me, I blocked PETANQUE just in time. he should block my nice out if he sees it.
>Jesse_Day: II C7 I.I. +15 480
>Jesse_Day: (P) +6 486
