>skaplan31: CIRRSST 8D CRITS +20 20
#note Rd 4 Philly virtual 11-14-2021. It's annoying to let her know I have another S, but it's all I can really do without having consonant overload.
>parteegirl: ?DIQTVZ F7 D.TZ +34 34
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: ABDEERS H1 DEBASER. +86 106
#note Mhm
>parteegirl: ?AIIQTV 2F VI. +14 48
#note D3 VIATI(C) is the best option that does not dump the Q, but it's more blocky. I like 5F QIS best here, AITV? goes nicely with the open E.
>skaplan31: AEOORTY 11B ROOTY +34 140
#note I passed up 11D TOYO in order to keep the board essentially dead for 7s. Perhaps 11B OY would have been just fine. #strategysmall
>parteegirl: ?AIMQTW 5E QAT. +26 74
>skaplan31: AEGHLSU B5 LAUGHE.S +66 206
#note I guess I benefitted off my own small mistake last turn!
>parteegirl: ?IIMOTW 12B .IM +20 94
>skaplan31: EEGIILU A1 GUILE +23 229
#note I would have done 3H (B)EGUILE if I was behind knowing how difficult it will be to close the board down after that. I like how comparable this move scores and doesn't change the board dramatically for her. I did not see E5 (Q)UI(R)E, but I like my play better anyway because it scores 4 more and I don't really like EGIL too much on this board for future scoring prospects.
>parteegirl: ?EIOTUW 10F .OWIE +19 113
#note Nice play.
>skaplan31: ADEEILO I1 ODEA +24 253
#note Definitely not doing H10 (W)AILED in the position I'm in. I like how nicely this prevents the top right from being easily opened. Sim does like this over WAILED.
>parteegirl: ?EENTTU 11J TUN +8 121
>skaplan31: ABEFILN M5 FINABLE +70 323
#note All good with me once again, I'm happy to sacrifice 10 points to make it even harder for her to do much to truly open the board up. I only sacrifice about .3% in win chances for this.
>parteegirl: ?EEEOPT 8L T.PE +21 142
>skaplan31: DEOOOPR N2 POOED +36 359
#note Looks good.
>parteegirl: ?AACEEO 13D ACE +10 152
#note I like A8 AE better for her.
>skaplan31: ?FNORRV 14F FOR +27 386
>parteegirl: ?AEHOSU O7 t.AHOUSE +61 213
#note I'm not sure I would have bingoed here. I like H12 HORA for 33 as she'll now have 2 spots to bingo next turn.
>skaplan31: ?JKNRVX O1 JiNX +97 483
#note Couldn't prevent myself from laughing at this rack. That is some ugliness, but if I can score 97, I'm scoring 97. No ifs, ands, or buts.
>parteegirl: AEIILMW H12 WI.E +33 246
>skaplan31: KNNNRVY 3A .NKY +22 505
>parteegirl: AAGILMR N12 MARL +22 268
#note I think A7 MAAR is the better spread-cutting move here.
>skaplan31: INNRV 6J VIR.. +17 522
#note Best play.
>parteegirl: AGI E1 GI +12 280
#note If she's not gonna go out, M13 GI does score 5 more for her than at E1 knowing I'm gonna go out with 13H INN. Not to mention: if Connie does M13 GI, that's the same net spread as if she did 1A (G)IGA: M13 GI is 17, minus the 4 from 13H (I)NN minus the 2 I get from her and that's 11. 1A (G)IGA is 7 plus the 4 she'll get from me = 11.
>skaplan31: NN 13H .NN +4 526
#note 7A N(U)N also works in the process. I feel for Connie because she was on the wrong end, but if there's any game where I needed to win and make up spread, this was it. Opportunity seized.
