#note Not sure the G is that good here for Connie. I like F5 LUG(E) or E3 GULLE(D) better.
>skaplan31: CCEEMTY 13C ME.CY +32 46
#note Looks good.
>parteegirl: AAGGOST 14B GAT +14 28
#note I like the aggressiveness here. I do think 12B GAT(E) is really nice setting up her other A, without as much potential for a big counterplay by me.
>skaplan31: ?ACEHNT 15C CHANTEd +112 158
#note Or CHAsTEN, CHANTEy, or CHANTEr. All good either way with this easy to find, but effective enough bingo.
>parteegirl: AAGNOSW 14H WAGON +19 47
#note Nice play.
>skaplan31: DEIIIRU -IIU +0 158
#note Ack, nice job tunnel visioning on exchanging. I think L9 URIDI(N)E would have been OK here. #findinglarge

#note Interesting...
>skaplan31: ?DEILPS I2 LIPiDES +69 257
#note Spent some time seeing which bingo would be best. Definitely wasn't sure what to do, but even if I saw 12H PIdDLE(R)S, I think I should have at least given more thought to doing I6 DESPoIL or DISPELs. This move definitely could have been better. #visionlarge

>parteegirl: EMNOSWZ O7 SOZ.NE +53 157
#note Nice play again.
>skaplan31: AEILORU M12 OI +13 285
#note Wasn't crazy about M9 OORIE here as I liked how close to a bingo I was. This board isn't being closed down anytime soon, so there wasn't much of a point to doing 4I (P)OILU. I liked this play to set up my L, which I can to create a Column K bingo lane next turn if I don't draw a bingo. Sometimes, Connie might even do my work for me.
>parteegirl: MNRSVWY 12D M. +26 183
#note Oh wow L12 MY(NA) would have been nice for her if it wasn't for yet another bad word! If she really wanted to make a daring play to make up her deficit, I do see why L11 MY would make sense, but I don't like that move while leaving herself 5 consonants.
>skaplan31: AEILPRU L11 UP +20 305
#note I did not know 4G UP(P)ILE, but this does give me a better leave over that and 4G PU(P)ILAR, which was also considered. I don't think Connie will hit me that hard in response too often.
>parteegirl: ENRSVWY K6 WYVERNS +93 276
#note But she got me that time and she's within striking distance.
>skaplan31: AEEILRT 2C LAETRI.E +62 367
#note Good.
>parteegirl: AEEIOSX 1G OX +56 332
#note Lol
>skaplan31: DNOORTV 3B RONDO +23 390
#note Looks fine to partially block the P and save my V for another blocking play if needed next turn.
>parteegirl: AEEHIST 13I HA +21 353
>skaplan31: AIJNTUV N6 JIN +30 420
#note The only bingo I found was GIFTEES which does play on Column N should the K be in the bag, and the only way I lose is by not blocking this opening and the K is in the bag. Normally, this play is quite a bit worse than JUN or JUT, but I didn't see anywhere to be able to play KIVA should I draw the K which would allow Connie to get some points off my rack because she's going out in 2 easily. Also didn't see a spot for KAVA.
>parteegirl: EEFGIST L2 GIFTEE +30 383
#note Postmortem, I saw a better endgame. 4A FETES would have been better for her for 3 reasons: it scores 9 more immediately, it allows her many spots to go out keeping GI, and I'm forced to eat the K or the V because she goes out in 2 anyway.
>skaplan31: AKTUV 3K K.VA +22 442
#note I would have done 3L (I)KAT eating the V if she saw FETES last turn. Instead, I got this lucky break which was not deserved.
>parteegirl: S 13M ..S +20 403
#note Well done on the out play. Got lucky with CHANTEd as a bamdinger, I think I could have made a better choice on the DEILPS? rack as well as the AFIIORU rack. 2-0 now.
