>DaBag: EIINNOS 8F INOSINE +66 66
#note Rd 6 Philly virtual 3-7-2021. I have a chance to win the tourney. But this isn't the start I wanted to see from Mitchell.
>skaplan31: GGIIOTU L4 GIGU. +14 14
#note Definitely wasn't doing 7F or 7H GIGOT, especially against someone so defensive and when I'm already down a bingo. K4 OUTING was probably a better play with the open N in INOSINE even though it's no guarantee that's staying open, and it takes many hooks so that the board stays open longer. #strategyquestionable
>DaBag: EEGILOU I1 EULOGIE. +61 127
#note However, regardless if I did OUTING over GIGUE last turn, there was no stopping this from coming down. I2 EULOGISE is a safer move for him.
>skaplan31: AAIOPST K5 PA +19 33
#note Seeing that I was a game behind Mitchell in the standings despite having a nice spread difference, all I needed to do was win the game. Even though I didn't need spread this game, I go thru less tiles when I'm behind which is why I passed up 1D OPIATE.
>DaBag: EINOTUY 1H Y. +15 142
>skaplan31: ABIOPST M3 BOP +24 57
#note While a potential bingo SUBTOPIA got blocked, I would not have seen it. Again, spread doesn't matter, I just need to open new lanes with this over J1 APO.
>DaBag: EINORTU 5B ROUTEIN. +68 210
#note Are you serious?!
>skaplan31: AACEIST N2 CATE +28 85
#note ESTANCIA got blocked, which I would have seen this time. Clearly things are not going my way this game. I think I needed to do N1 ACETA here and create better scoring opportunities. #findingmeh
>DaBag: EFIMSTZ F4 F.Z +35 245
#note Nice defense here.
>skaplan31: AAIOORS K8 .AOI +8 93
#note Maybe O5 RAIA, but the game and tourney are looking more like it's gonna be his.
>DaBag: EIMNOST O5 SENTIMO +86 331
#note Theories confirmed.
>skaplan31: ADNNORS N10 ADORN +25 118
#note ANDIRONS got blocked now. I just can't catch a break.
>DaBag: ABEEELL B5 .EELABLE +68 399
#note This is utterly ridiculous.
>skaplan31: AHNRSSW 15L WASH +49 167
#note A12 WASH or HWAN...it's already over at this point.
>DaBag: ACEJKOV 13I JACKE. +54 453
#note He's had the right response every time. Smart play with no Os left.
>skaplan31: HNRRRSX J12 R.X +26 193
#note I mean obviously but I'm not winning this game.
>DaBag: ?DMOTTV A12 MOTT +34 487
#note Best for him, this is why WASH should have been played there.
>skaplan31: DHINRRS J2 HIN +31 224
>DaBag: ?AADEVV D3 VA. +12 499
>skaplan31: DERRSUY A6 RYE +31 255
>DaBag: ?ADELTV C5 .VAL +24 523
#note Nice play again.
>skaplan31: DFIRRSU 10H FUR.R +10 265
>DaBag: ??DDEQT 11E QuiET +31 554
#note Lots of plays leave the Double Ds! This is best for him.
>skaplan31: DISW 12D WIS +24 289
#note Blocking his only out play of F10 D(u)D.
>DaBag: DD H10 ..D +9 563
>skaplan31: D 12M D. +6 295
#note 1G DYE.
GIGUE was good but OUTING was better on my opening move, couple bingoes got blocked, it was just not winnable as I was simply the punching bag this time. Congrats on your tourney win Mitchell!
