>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHNPSW 8G PEW +16 16
#note Not a good start. Even though it's not the highest probability bingo, it's still very findable. NEPHEWS for 88 is the obvious play. My next 3 plays would cover up this mistake.
>Bernie_McMahon: AEL 9G ALE +18 18
>Samuel_Kaplan: EHINORS J2 HEROINS +79 95
#note F6 INSHORE for 1 more is best. This is 2nd. SHOR(EL)INE H4 if you wanna get fancy.
>Bernie_McMahon: EINNR K1 NINER +23 41
#note Interesting parallel play by him despite being behind. He has more 1 pointers in his range.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ADEIIM L3 DIAMInE +81 176
#note 2nd best again. dIAMIDE in the same spot for 2 more is the slightly better play.
>Bernie_McMahon: AAORT K9 AORTA +12 53
#note At this point Bernie doesn't really have a choice but to open.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEIMQU 11E QUAgMI.E +86 262
#note #boardvisionsolid. This is tied with QUAlMIE(R) 11D for best play. I thought about playing QUITE 12H for 48 and keeping the blank but I decided that was way too many points to pass up. Quackle agrees.
>Bernie_McMahon: BELZ 13I BL.ZE +38 91
#note Nice board-forking play!
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABFNUUY H13 ANY +35 297
#note 4th best. ABY in the same spot is best according to Q but since there are no good leaves anyway, I figured I'd keep the B for other scoring plays at 3B and J10.
>Bernie_McMahon: CIIO 14F CO.II +23 114
>Bernie_McMahon: CIIO -- -23 91
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEFKUU 14F KU.A +22 319
#note Best play! This was done to block the N and Y in ANY. KAF I1 scores 11 more but BEUU isn't going anywhere and KAF I1 gives back cheap points, plus allows Bernie to open the top of the board. I wasn't gonna allow that when I'm ahead.
>Bernie_McMahon: CIT 15E CIT. +17 108
#note Not sure what Bernie's logic was. I would have made a play paralleling QUAGMIRE if I were him, ending with an I or something.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BCDEFUV 3I V...ED +30 349
#note Q thinks 14M FUB is best play. Really? No good leaves exist, take the points and don't give him super good lanes to work with.
>Bernie_McMahon: AHI 14L AHI +28 136
#note This is a nice play. This is the kind of play you make when you're behind, make it hard for me to block without sacrificing many points.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BCFIOOU 2M FOB +27 376
#note I did not spot the CUBICITY extension. at 15A. That would have been top notch. My play is 5th. A distant 5th.
>Bernie_McMahon: FOX 15J FOX +48 184
>Samuel_Kaplan: CINORUY 12C COIN +25 401
#note Time to study -CITY extensions. CONICITY is the play this time.
>Bernie_McMahon: S 11E ........S +19 203
#note Interesting.....
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGLPRUY C12 .ULP +16 417
#note 6L MUG is best?! Cmon man, he's got another S and a strong rack. Why on earth would I do that?! Meanwhile, only CULPA and CULPABLE are good but no CULP*.
>Bernie_McMahon: DD 13B D.D +8 211
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEGRSTY O9 GREYEST +102 519
#note Okay then... Didn't expect this good a draw but I'll take it.
>Bernie_McMahon: ELOORST F2 LOOTERS +71 282
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGIJNO 14A JO.E +32 551
#note Bad play. JIAO E4 would have prevented him from getting out of his mess.
>Bernie_McMahon: GRTTUVW 4D VR.UW +30 312
>Samuel_Kaplan: AGIN 7H GA. +16 567
#note E3 GRIN is 3 more. Endgame was not very good.
>Bernie_McMahon: GTT F10 G.. +8 320
>Samuel_Kaplan: IN M6 IN +10 577
#note Good game overall. The bingo bango bongo was me being a luckbox but I did have 2 nice finds in that span. I did do a reasonably good job of finding plays that continue to outrun without giving him meaningful lanes to work with. Endgame was bleh as was CULP*. Also, safe to say, -CITY extensions galore.
