>skaplan31: CLLMRSS -CLLMRS +0 0
#note Rd 1 Philly virtual 6-26-2021. I do see the synergy with CRS, but I like to go for blanks early on seeing I have no vowels.
>hellacia: AAENOPT 8H APNEA +16 16
#note I like 8C APNOEA or 8D APNEA better as those are harder to parallel.
>skaplan31: EEGISTX J8 .EXT +27 27
#note I did see J5 EXING, but that does slot a dangerous tile in the 2x2 lane and takes too many hooks despite me having a hook. NIXE poses similar problems as EXING, and I went with this as it only takes 1 hook, which I have. And it's just as open as EXING and NIXE.
>hellacia: ADLORTW L8 .WARD +18 34
>skaplan31: BEGIOSZ K5 BIZ. +30 57
#note Best play.
>hellacia: ELOOQTT 6J Q. +31 65
#note Looks good, but her options next turn might not be that good.
>skaplan31: EGOORSY L1 GOOEY +29 86
#note While I did not know 13H GYROSE for 38, I do prefer to keep my S on this board as 9 extra immediately wasn't worth it. This is fine as QI could suggest a number of things.
>hellacia: EILOOTT 1K I.LOO +18 83
>skaplan31: ?LLNRSU 12D UNRoLLS +76 162
#note Mhm
>hellacia: AAEELTT M11 EAT +11 94
#note The APNEAL hook was missed by both of us this game, but she has needed it much more than me as both of my Ls were part of the bingo. For that reason, I do like M6 TALE better.
>skaplan31: AFHIRTU F10 FI.TH +27 189
#note With my lead, I wasn't a fan of 3H FAITOUR or N12 HAUT even though they might keep a little better. I wanted that 2x2 out of play as I thought that EAT suggested something pretty good, assuming she kept something like AENT, AELT, or AERT or someting. The upside of 3H FAITOUR is the turnover, which does give me a slightly better win %.
>hellacia: ABEILOT H12 .OBE +18 112
#note N9 OBELIA looks nice for 37.
>skaplan31: AINRTUU 14F .U. +8 197
>hellacia: ADIJLNT N10 JIN +33 145
>skaplan31: AAINRTU I10 AI. +14 211
#note No blank Q for (q)UATRAIN unfortunately. This or 11C UNAI are fine.
>hellacia: ACDLMTV 3K V.CAL +20 165
#note Robin's best play.
>skaplan31: AHNRSTU 15A HAUNTS +42 253
#note This time, it's definitely fine to score and keep the pressure on Robin. UNHATS in this spot also works.
>hellacia: DDEEMTW 7D DEWED +14 179
>skaplan31: EEIRSSU D3 RESI.UES +70 323
#note I was briefly disappointed that REISSUE and SEISURE got blocked, but luckily I found this too.
>hellacia: ?AEIKMT 5B MI.TAKEn +76 255
#note Unsurprisingly, O12 KAMI does sim much better than this. I really love that play in order to catch up some.
>skaplan31: DFMPRRY N3 .RMY +17 340
>hellacia: AGGNOTV O9 GONG +29 284
#note Surprised she didn't see this at O12. Well, good thing I blocked that high scoring lane with ARMY then.
>skaplan31: DFIIPRR H1 PRID. +30 370
#note Considered this, B2 FIRM, and B2 PRIMI. The only 7s I saw that Robin could potentially have was CENTAVO, ACETONE, and ECOTONE. Championship Player does confirm that this is 1 of many plays that do win 100% as I didn't see any 8s that could have played for her too. So it's to my advantage to score as much as I could, and I did.
>hellacia: ACENOTV 8A VAT. +21 305
>skaplan31: EFIOR 14A OF +25 395
#note While B2 FORME or B2 FERMI would not have stopped her from going out as she had COVEN, CANOE, and 3D (R)ECO(I)N, that's a couple spread points I threw away. Small mistake.
>hellacia: CENO A6 CO.EN +10 315
#note Not the end of the world at least. I think Robin might have had some sort of chance if she saw O12 KAMI when she bingoed, that would have helped her nicely. 2-0 now.
