>joeboy2: ?AAEEIN - +0 0
#note This is Rd 1 of Philly virtual tourney from 11/29/2020. I am supposed to be first, but Woogles had Joel going first.
The last time I posted an annotated game was a live Philly tourney back in March, which was the last live tourney I did.
>skaplan31: BEEEKPR 8D KEEPER +34 34
#note Best play!
>joeboy2: ?AAEEIN 7H tAENIAE +62 62
#note This is the only bingo that plays and is best for Joel.
>skaplan31: BRTTTWX L5 TW.XT +23 57
#note Only way to get out of this clunky mess. Easily best.
>joeboy2: EJNOOUW 8N WO +20 82
#note My initial thought here was Joel was close to a bingo. That would prove to be far from true here. This was a nice J setup by him.
>skaplan31: BNORRST F6 BR.NT +15 72
#note This move is OK if I have an S, otherwise I would have done something like 7C BORN or 7C BORT. Either way, 6I BROWNS was a whiff. That's 36 and is easily better.
>joeboy2: AEJNOUV 6N JO +54 136
#note Turns out 6I BROWNS would have stopped his J setup which I did not suspect.
>skaplan31: AEFOORS 6I OF +29 101
#note This is best
>joeboy2: AENNRUV K3 VAU +16 152
#note This isn't bad, maybe D8 KNAVE is better for him here. 10B VAUNT is also interesting and aggressive, although I can understand him passing that up if he thinks I'm close to a bingo.
>skaplan31: AAEORRS 10B AERA.ORS +60 161
#note Only bingo and easily best.
>joeboy2: AEIINNR 3I IN.AR +18 170
#note The star play here is 8A INN(KEEPER) which I would not have spotted.
>skaplan31: DEGLOST 4C GOLDEST +72 233
#note Yep
>joeboy2: EIINRSZ 6B ZINE. +36 206
#note This is where several reasonable plays can be made such as C2 ZIG to take out easy Row 2 bingoes, this play, and 2L ZEINS. I don't mind this play, the S is valuable for him to keep here. 2L ZEIN is only 3 more and is risky.
>skaplan31: ACCDHIM 3A CHAM +32 265
#note I liked this play over C9 HEMIC for defensive purposes. B9 MACCHIA is also 32 which I did not know, but I wouldn't have done it.
>joeboy2: DEIRSUY A1 DU.I +24 230
#note H10 RUDERY would have been better for him here. Also for 36 is DICEY in the same spot.
>skaplan31: CDFHIIQ 11A QI +13 278
#note C9 DEIFIC for 28 is easily better despite leaving the Q.
>joeboy2: ERSTUYY A11 .UERY +54 284
#note Yeesh
>skaplan31: CDFHILV 9C HI +25 303
#note This turn was probably worse than the last one. 2E FILCH gets me out of this clunky rack. I needed to find a way to turn over more tiles here.
>joeboy2: ?AIOSTY 11I OSTIArY +70 354
#note This is the only 7 in this rack and is a nice find for Joel, but 1A (D)YSTOpIA, (D)YSTOnIA, or (D)YSTOcIA are all 86.
>skaplan31: CDDFLLV -CDDFLLV +0 303
#note Now I'm in big trouble. Not seeing FILCH on the previous turn equals this. I definitely need to exchange here if I wanna have a chance by hoping that eventually Joel gets stuck with the clunk I just threw back in the bag.
>joeboy2: AEGILMN 2C GEMINAL +75 429
#note Ugh.
This is a nice fit, but I would have played it at 2C as I can score nicely in return on Row 1. Either way, this pretty much puts the game away.
>skaplan31: BEINOOU 12I BOON +25 328
#note And I did not take advantage of the Row 1 opening that I was just talking about. 1E EBON is better for 9 more. 3 vowels is perfectly fine to keep here with only 1 unseen vowel to me.
>joeboy2: CEFGLPV 1F PELF +46 475
#note And I would get punished again.
>skaplan31: DEILSTU 13C DILUTES +77 405
#note I am very lucky to draw an out bingo and get some nice points from his clunk to cut spread.
The final score was a lot closer than the game indicated. I simply did not do a good job of getting myself out of bad racks with plays like QI and HI when I can not only score better but also not give him nice scoring plays.
