>Kennedy_Chrispine: AEISSSU K3 AIS +26 190
#note You would like to see these esses on your rack too when you are trailing over 100 points but at least the combo need to be good. So I begin to set the earth mines that may come in handy later.
>Muema_Muumbi: EMPR 12A PREM +43 320
>Kennedy_Chrispine: ?EFISSU 14I InFUSES +77 267
#note YARDINGS is a word I was afraid to even think of so I ended up loosing 17 points in the process.
However this part of the game was very important as it would shape the direction the game would later take. Bingos on column N would make the board difficult to use later as the opponent is likely to shut down those lanes in like two moves. So I go for the line 14 bingo to threaten more.
>Muema_Muumbi: EZ 3I ZE. +44 364
>Kennedy_Chrispine: BHINNWX N4 NIX +51 318
#note The X is here but those other letters are just not would want to see. But it is also a good thing that I have them now.

>Kennedy_Chrispine: BHKNNWW -BHKNNWW +0 318
#note OMG what are these on my rack???????????
.
I panicked but when I realized that there are only 8 tiles in the bag I knew this was a good thing coz now when I return the entire set I will be playing to the bag and making moves that are informed.
Definitely nobody is happy to exchange in dying minutes of the game wen you are trying to pull a comeback
