>Jim_Fonti: AAH 8H AHA +12 12
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEEEIP 9H BEE +18 18
#note Best play!
>Jim_Fonti: INN 7F INN +9 21
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGIINP 6F PI +22 40
#note I considered K9 PIA and K9 PIANI but his range is strong after INN. Maybe an X setup even? This is best according to Q, especially considering his strong range and my strong leave of AEGIN.
>Jim_Fonti: ERTY 10F TREY +24 45
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEGINR 5G REGINAE +69 109
#note I saw all 3 spots for REGINAE. This placement provides the best board control even though it scores the least (K9 is 72 and 11A is 70). I'm fine with this play as it's only a 3 pt and 1 pt sacrifice respectively. No need to give Jim 3x3s.
>Jim_Fonti: EEN 6J NEE +13 58
>Samuel_Kaplan: AMOOSUW 4K OW +25 134
#note Did not know AWMOUS at 8A. That is clearly best. #wordknowledgemedium. Out of all plays I saw, I wasn't doing WOO 4L after Jim is keeping well once again. Q thinks this is 3rd, I think this is a perfectly safe play for not knowing AWMOUS.
>Jim_Fonti: ACIO 11C CIAO +14 72
#note Nice play by Jim opening up the bottom.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AMOPSSU H1 PAUS. +24 158
#note H1 SPUME is the move here. My play is 4th. MUCOSA C9 is also nice, it sets up another spot for my other S.
>Jim_Fonti: DRY 12D DRY +28 100
>Samuel_Kaplan: EMOOSST 2B OSTEOM.S +74 232
#note OSTEOMAS over MAESTOSO to not give back a big play along Column O.
>Jim_Fonti: HITTUVX - +0 100
#note Not actual rack. Exchange 6
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABHIKOO 3B KHI +38 270
#note 1A OHIA cleans up the rack a little better, but I wanted the points here. My play is 3rd.
>Jim_Fonti: AEX 4C AXE +46 146
#note This was the only downside to playing KHI at 3B instead of 1A. Stuff happens but it's all good, I'm still in the driver's seat.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABCIOOW 1A OW +25 295
#note I saw 13C COBIA but this gives Jim lanes that are hard to block. This play is best, just keeping the board under control with a large lead.
>Jim_Fonti: AJT K9 TAJ +26 172
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABCIIIO L11 OBIA +21 316
#note Still not doing 13E COBIA with a couple of high scoring tiles unseen. This play is best.
>Jim_Fonti: MUV 5A VUM +17 189
#note Jim does need a 2nd lane to work with. Great play!
>Samuel_Kaplan: CIILSTV 13I CIV.L +26 342
#note Not bad, VIATIC 14J is best play. That allows me to close the left side of the A in OBIA, as well as right side of the board on my next play if Jim doesn't take that spot in one move. My play is 3rd. I saw CIVILIST* but correctly chickened out of it.
>Jim_Fonti: DEL A5 .ELD +24 213
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AGIRST 15F GuITARS +82 424
#note PARTINGS is a little better for 3 more at 1H. This does make it difficult for Jim to bingo along Row 15 as it's not easy to parallel the G with only a blank left that has to be made an A for that to happen.
>Jim_Fonti: EOT M11 TO.E +20 233
>Samuel_Kaplan: DFFLOUU F1 F.LD +20 444
#note UGH gotta see plays like FOULED M1. First truly bad mistake this game.
>Jim_Fonti: Q J12 Q. +11 244
>Samuel_Kaplan: FIORTUU 3L TOFU +21 465
>Jim_Fonti: ?DELNNR O1 La.NDER +24 268
>Samuel_Kaplan: GIRUZ 8D ZIG +29 494
#note Only way to dump the Z on this board. Not a hard play to see, but getting Z stuck isn't fun.
>Jim_Fonti: N 4K ..N +9 277
#note Good playing until the FOLD play this game.
>Jim_Fonti: (RU) +4 281
