>Bernie_McMahon: OUY H7 YOU +12 12
>Samuel_Kaplan: CGIMSTX G9 MIG +16 16
#note I was too focused on dumping the G here. This does allow a nice score on a future play with my S. Probably should have done MUX 9G, the X isn't that good here. The problem with MUX is the value of my S goes down a lot unless I draw an A, E, or O. XIS G9 gives back too much if Bernie has an A. I definitely wasn't sure here.
>Bernie_McMahon: ATU F10 TAU +12 24
>Samuel_Kaplan: CELSTXZ I8 EX +39 55
#note At this point I decided to just score. I have a nice spot for the X and Z now. Q agrees with this play. Just gotta hope to draw a vowel.
>Bernie_McMahon: BSU G5 SUB +18 42
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACILSTZ 11E Z.. +26 81
#note Uh oh. Bernie obviously has another S and now I gotta keep a bingo prone leave. AI was one of the best draws I could have asked for. This play is best. Yes it does give Bernie a nice scoring play along Column H but I am getting lanes back as a result.
>Bernie_McMahon: AEHSV H11 SHAVE +59 101
#note Nice play Bernie!
>Samuel_Kaplan: AACILST 12D TA. +17 98
#note 3rd best. 14H (V)ATICAL is the play.
>Bernie_McMahon: ELLNOW 5G .WOLLEN +20 121
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACIILSW 4L WAIL +28 126
#note Tied with WALI in the same spot for best play.
>Bernie_McMahon: DOY 3K YOD +28 149
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ACCINS 14H .ACCINeS +90 216
#note Got this play right too! Double C bingoes aren't always easy to see. I'm happy I saw this.
>Bernie_McMahon: ?AEENTU M7 UNbEATE. +66 215
#note Bernie missed a 3x3 NUc(L)EATE for 113. This play is 2nd best. Both bingoes aren't super easy to see.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EIKORRS O4 .IKER +27 243
#note I saw OAK 13G but I passed it up because of 4 remaining Rs in the unseen pool. I didn't like KOSS O12 for the same reason, and there's no reason to just part ways with the last S. I like my play best because it gets rid of an R and it takes out both 3x3s.
>Bernie_McMahon: FIT O12 FI.T +33 248
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEIOORS 6J OI +10 253
#note 4th best. Definitely wanted to keep Column K open. This would pay off after Bernie's next move. OLIO J4 keeps a better leave but I didn't like what it would do to the board. Row 2 is OK to hit but having a 2nd option never hurts.
>Bernie_McMahon: DEINNRT 15B INTEND.R +62 310
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEEORS 14A OBE +20 273
#note No open H for RHEOBASE which I immediately saw. This play is best. This play is consistent with my last one in terms of keeping Column K open, hence this over OBE at L10, especially when I'm now behind.
>Bernie_McMahon: QT 13G Q.T +27 337
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAAEIRS F7 AA +10 283
#note This spot or 14E is fine.
>Bernie_McMahon: EF N9 EF +27 364
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEIRRRS E11 ..IR. +14 297
#note #boardvisionsolid keeping Column K open again. This is best.
>Bernie_McMahon: EJ 12K JE. +20 384
#note Great defensive play by Bernie here. Now I either have to bingo on Row 2 or somehow play along Row 8.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEORRSV 8A VARRO. +30 327
#note Yes! Got this play perfect! And it would get challenged.
>Bernie_McMahon: DHMNOOP - +0 384
#note Not actual rack. VARROA got challenged.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHLORS A5 SHO.ELER +65 392
#note Wow. I cannot believe I am back in this game. This is one of the most fortunate turn of events.
>Bernie_McMahon: DGIMNPP B4 DIM +27 411
#note I didn't see any wins for Bernie as he has too much clunk on his rack. His play, PINGO E4, and NIM B4, among others, all allow me an out play. If he doesn't give me an out play, I still have OD B13 then GO E7 as an out play if he doesn't see that.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DGO C3 DOG +17 409
#note What a comeback. Unfortunate ending for him, he most likely would have gotten me if he didn't challenge VARROA. On my end though, keeping Column K open definitely paid off as did AA at F7 over other spots. Whew. Very well played game Bernie. You are not easy to play against.
