>MsSpeller: IILRRSY 8G YIRR +14 14
#note Rd 2 Philly virtual 12/27/2020
>skaplan31: EEINOOS 9F OE +9 9
#note This placement does give back more than 7I or 7H OE but it is much more open. I like the aggression here.
>MsSpeller: AEFILSX 10C FLAX +55 69
#note Well that escalated quickly. Maybe FAX or FIX are a little better as they both keep better for her. This is also fine.
>skaplan31: ?EINORS 11E NOISiER +88 97
#note Anything in this spot that does not take an S is fine by me.
>MsSpeller: DEINORS K3 INDORSE +74 143
#note Well then...imagine if I did ROSINEd on my last turn, that would have really been something worth raving about!
>skaplan31: GIOOOQT J3 QI +24 121
#note 12D for 1 more point. Still not looking too good.
>MsSpeller: AACIMOR H11 .CRAM +36 179
#note I got lucky that she missed D3 ACROMIA(L) for 76.
>skaplan31: GNOOOTU 7E OUTGO +21 142
#note Good way to get myself out of this mess. Easily best.
>MsSpeller: AAAIOVZ C10 .AVA +20 199
>skaplan31: BLMNOPT 4J ..TOMB +26 168
#note Highest scoring play available and best. 14H (A)PLOMB is not something I knew
>MsSpeller: AHIIOUZ J8 .AZ. +35 234
>skaplan31: ELNPPTW E5 PL.W +18 186
#note Given my deficit, I clearly needed to play this here instead of at M2. It allows me to get out of potentially consonant heavy draws thru the A in SCRAM and the O in INTOMB.
>MsSpeller: BEHIIOU 14E OHI. +15 249
#note 13E HOURI gives her the best leave and N1 BIOME scores the most, but it's not warranted at her lead.
>skaplan31: DEKNPTT M2 KN.TTED +26 212
#note Q does like I6 PORK a little better, but I thought that DENTT could also spell disaster as much as I could draw a bingo. There are so many Es left in this pool that getting rid of mine was basically mandatory. N2 KEMPT is 4 more though. That frees up my E just as nicely as KNOTTED does.
>MsSpeller: BDEGIRU O1 GRU.BED +39 288
#note 15A BUDGIE is 43 for her, but this is also fine for blocking purposes.
>skaplan31: AEGNPVY 15A PEAVY +56 268
#note Yep
>MsSpeller: ACINOST N8 ACTIONS +75 363
#note Are you serious? Off a 6 tile draw? Luckbox on her end, but she did miss 15H MONASTIC for 89.
>skaplan31: AEGHNNT 12A HA.E +28 296
#note Column A/B bingoes are pretty much my only hope now. I know Quackle doesn't like this play, but Jill would have to either give up many points to block, or she could play into the W in PLOW (highly unlikely with this pool) and give me back lanes.
>MsSpeller: EEEIILW M11 LWEI +27 390
>skaplan31: ?AGINNT A8 NINT. +24 320
#note 13B TANGA is cute but I gotta bingo.
>MsSpeller: DEEEFIU 9A .F +5 395
#note Jill effectively blocks all possible bingoes that play here. Me drawing the J and U basically put the game away.
>skaplan31: ?AEGJLU 6J J.L. +27 347
#note F2 JUGA then F1 a(JUGA)/aLE would have been a couple more points. This is not a bad endgame, but not the best one.
>MsSpeller: DEEEISU 12J DE +20 415
#note O10 IDES would have been best for her.
>skaplan31: ?AEGU D2 vAGUE +16 363
#note I did end up losing 7 spread points in this endgame. Well played Jill! 1-1 now.
>skaplan31: (EEISU) +10 373
