>Edwin_Roth: ABEINPT 8D BEPAINT +78 78
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACCILRR E5 CIC.RAL +44 44
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACCILRR -- -44 0
#note CLERIC should have been the move not this phony. This is not the proper way to describe a CICERO.
>Edwin_Roth: EENORRS D4 ENRO.ERS +70 148
#note Very nice find Ed!
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACCILRR G7 C.R +9 9
#note Hm. I saw CAPRIC but didn't like how it took out lanes in ENROBERS. It is an 11 pt sacrifice but it doesn't sim that far behind CAPRIC. #strategysmall?
>Edwin_Roth: ADIRY C9 YAIRD +39 187
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACEIJLR B8 RAJ +58 67
#note Didn't need to draw the J to kill bingoes but it does look like a nice draw after Ed's last play. Best by far.
>Edwin_Roth: SWY 5B WY.S +20 207
#note Interesting play. I can sense Ed is committed to defense already.
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEEILLO B2 CLE. +18 85
#note 10F OLEIC is Q's top play which I saw but absolutely hated. OLE A6 is good enough.
>Edwin_Roth: IZ J6 ZI. +32 239
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEILLOO 6J .OEAL +16 101
#note Time to blast the board open and keep the CAR hooks alive.
>Edwin_Roth: ELMUV 10F VELUM +30 269
#note This is why ZOEAL was important to play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AILOPU A6 UPO +21 122
#note Best play!
>Edwin_Roth: DHO 5K HOD +29 298
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEEILS 11I mEALIES +67 189
#note Looked for a while, didn't see anything better than this. This is best!
>Edwin_Roth: ITU O8 TUI. +12 310
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AGNOTT 4L TOG +18 207
>Edwin_Roth: IINOV L8 VIO.IN +26 336
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AENOTW 13G WANTO.Er +80 287
#note Best play again! Glad I saw this.
>Edwin_Roth: KO 12G OK +27 363
>Samuel_Kaplan: DGINNQX 9K Q. +11 298
#note I'm not surprised he blocked QAID/QADI H12. I spent a while on this play. Nothing really stands out here.
>Edwin_Roth: ADH N10 H.A.D +45 408
#note Ed just keeps on piling points. Nice play again!
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDGINNX K11 .X.N +20 318
#note Now is the time to go all in. This is best.
>Edwin_Roth: AEFT 15H FATE +33 441
#note While I drew an E, he had one too. One of those games.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDEGGIN 7C G.B +12 330
#note Again no great scoring options. This is best.
>Edwin_Roth: AEFISTU O1 FETA +30 471
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEGIMNR E11 MIRED +26 356
#note MIDGE is a little better in same spot.
>Edwin_Roth: ISU 14C SU. +13 484
#note UNS 14J is Ed's best scoring play but he does rightfully block my only out of GEN or NEG D14.
>Samuel_Kaplan: GN 2N N. +4 360
#note I was low on time, didn't see K5 HON.
>Edwin_Roth: I H12 ..I. +11 495
#note This is Ed's best out play.

Even if I did play CLERIC on my opening move, it was still gonna be an uphill battle as Ed would have had REASONER. I did a good job of keeping my cool and continued to make plays in the end, but mistakes like my opening play aren't gonna stay against good players. Final score was 489-360 as he did lose 10 points for going over. Nice job Ed, you deserved to win.
>Edwin_Roth: (G) +4 499
