>skaplan31: ACHILWY 8G WHY +24 24
#note Rd 2 Philly virtual 2-14-2021. This or WYCH at 8E, 8F, or 8G are all close in the sim. WYCH does score 6 more, but I do keep better here. This is still very hard to parallel.
>TheBigEZ: DENRSUW J8 SUNDEW +25 25
#note I like I7 WYN here- it sets up all of his hooks very nicely. If he's gonna burn his S here for a better score, which is also OK, J6 UNSEW would have done it for 6 more. If I don't have any hooks, I won't always score well on my next move.
>skaplan31: ACEGILL 12H EL.GIAC +22 46
#note He definitely didn't keep an S after ALEC. I thought this favored my more open style better. Didn't love GIL as a leave.
>TheBigEZ: ?DFJPRS M11 F.RD +16 41
#note Hm... I can understand him not burning the blank, but O7 FJoRDS is definitely worth it here. Not sure if he saw that or not.
>skaplan31: ADKLMQX -DKLMQ +0 46
#note Bleh rack but H12 EXAM is worth it too.
>TheBigEZ: ?ACJLPS O8 CLAPS +42 83
#note His best play with 15H JALaPS, etc being just behind in the sim.
>skaplan31: AEINOOX H11 X.NIA +36 82
#note I did consider H11 XENIA and I6 ONYX. The problem with ONYX is that it gives him a nice scoring spot to work with and keeping 4 vowels wasn't exactly appealing to me. N11 OCEAN would have been really nice as I do save the X for another score. #visionlarge
>TheBigEZ: ?EGJQTU 15F QU.G +14 97
#note 14F QUIT would have done it here.
>skaplan31: BENOOOO 7E OBOE +18 100
#note Makint the top easier to open up with this over the 9E placement.
>TheBigEZ: ?EEGJTT 8B JETE +14 111
>skaplan31: EINOORV 11C VERNI. +32 132
#note Normally EIRV is a pretty good leave but I didn't love that leave on this board. It's not super good for the open N in XENIA, and I figured I'd have another bingo lane after this over 9B ONO by leaving the E in JETE open. It's also 14 more which is hard to pass up in this case.
>TheBigEZ: ?AABGMT 6E TAM +24 135
#note With his blank in hand, I like C3 AMBAGE a lot. I would also have done TAB in this spot if he's not gonna see AMBAGE as the M is just much more flexible than the B.
>skaplan31: AELMOOR N10 MO. +31 163
#note This one's pretty clear.
>TheBigEZ: ?AABDGI C1 BADInAG. +76 211
#note This or BIGArAD(E) in the same spot are both excellent finds and are the only bingoes that play.
>skaplan31: AEILORS 3C .ARIOLES +61 224
#note Why can't ORALISE* be good? That always bemuses many. This is the only bingo.
>TheBigEZ: AEEFINT 1C .ENEFIT +39 250
#note Looks fine to me. He could also fish with B5 EF.
>skaplan31: DEINNRZ 4A ZE.N +50 274
#note Didn't get the floating A for RENDZINA that I couldn't realistically expect. Also obvious.
>TheBigEZ: AHKLOTT B6 HA. +37 287
>skaplan31: DINRRRU D10 R.RUN +10 284
#note I did not know BADINAGED was good! 9A RID is really nice there.
>TheBigEZ: KLOTTTY 13B TO.T +8 295
#note 4I TOTTY gets him out of his mess.
>skaplan31: ?DEIRSV A9 REVISeD +88 372
#note Shockingly I got this spot for my bingoes.
>TheBigEZ: AEIKLTY 2J ALIKE +26 321
#note 2H LEAKY would have guaranteed him an out play.
>skaplan31: IOOOPU M2 .OP +18 390
#note This blocks his only out play of N1 YET and by not doing 1L POO, I don't give him a more lucrative out play of L1 (PI)TY. By doing 1L PO, I don't score as much on my next move as he can't do anything to block my next move after KOP.
>TheBigEZ: TY 2B Y. +10 331
>skaplan31: IOOU L4 OI +12 402
#note There you have it. #endgamesolid
>TheBigEZ: T F5 T.. +5 336
#note Or 4L OPT or 4K TOP.
Finding was a little shaky on a few turns. I did like doing VERNIX over ONO as well as the 7E placement of OBOE over the 9E placement. If Ed didn't give me a better spot with my DEIRSV? rack, it would have been a really interesting final finish as he could have bingoed out to get me because I would have done DIVERtS 4I instead!
>TheBigEZ: (OU) +4 340
