>Steve_Oliger: AJW 8G JAW +26 26
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFMORTT 9F MOTET +27 27
#note This effectively forces Steve to have top open for cheap if he doesn't have a bingo. His bingoes will often give me back a lot of points after moves like this or 9F TOME. TOME is 1 more but this dumps another consonant.
>Steve_Oliger: ?DILNTU 10I DILUeNT +72 98
#note This is his highest scoring bingo with the only other playable one being K3 INDULTs.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEFIIOR O8 FE.ID +33 60
#note FOETID is a little better. This is 2nd. Still does a nice job of opening up distinct lanes.
>Steve_Oliger: GOT 10E TOG +23 121
>Samuel_Kaplan: HIINORU 7H HOURI +24 84
#note This forks very nicely as well and is best.
>Steve_Oliger: ER 11E ER +13 134
>Samuel_Kaplan: EINQRTV L9 Q.IVER +36 120
#note It might give back a lot but Steve doesn't always have an S after this kind of play. I saw INQUIET and INQUIRE but the V isn't gonna help me here. This is best.
>Steve_Oliger: OTW 6F WOT +21 155
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEKLNTV 12A KNAVE +37 157
#note Why not score again? This or 13I KEVEL are fine. I like open boards.
>Steve_Oliger: ABEGNRS 15F BANGERS +103 258
#note Ouchies temporarily but watch me hit him back.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEILST A8 STAL.IEr +149 306
#note That is as good of a draw as I could have asked for. Very shockingly, this got challenged.
>Steve_Oliger: ENOPRUZ - +0 258
#note Not actual rack. Steve challenged STALKIER.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEGMORU 14J MO.GUE +42 348
#note I went from being down 101 to being up 90 within a matter of seconds. This is not something I see too often.

This play is #visionsolid.
>Steve_Oliger: ALY 5E LAY +22 280
>Samuel_Kaplan: EENORRU 4B ROUEN +18 366
#note Best play! I like how this goes thru the tiles quicker and I can always block the O or the A in KNAVE on a future turn.
>Steve_Oliger: ADN 13K D.AN +22 302
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEFIRY B2 FE.RY +38 404
#note AERIFY B2...why is it so hard to see that?
>Steve_Oliger: CP 3A C.P +22 324
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEEINP A1 PE. +26 430
#note That's a pretty funny sequence with CEP then PEC.
>Steve_Oliger: CIIL C9 ILI.C +16 340
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEINOX O14 .X +27 457
#note This is best. I leave 1 in the bag so that if Steve makes a play hooking HOURI (presumably with ZAIDAS), I will get some points back.
>Steve_Oliger: ADZ 6L ADZ +35 375
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEINOO O3 OBOE +23 480
#note Not the draw I was looking for, but I can also score in this manner.
>Steve_Oliger: AHISS N2 SHA +21 396
#note Knowing I'm going out, Steve's best play was M3 SHADS.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AIN 14F ANI +15 495
#note Definitely my best played game of the tourney. Smart playing and good board vision wins games.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (IS) +4 499
