>Jay_Levin: FINO 8E INFO +14 14
>Samuel_Kaplan: BEIOSTU F5 BOU.TIES +64 64
#note I got lucky to get the one floater I needed, because this is the only 8 that exists with this rack.
>Jay_Levin: IMV 12C VIM. +18 32
>Samuel_Kaplan: AGHLNRS 11E H.RL +28 92
#note I did not know 10E R(I)NGHALS for this play, and I also did not know it was a sticky S, so no RINGHAL*. It's an African snake that's highly venomous. But I would not have stopped Jay from bingoing.
>Jay_Levin: ?ILPRST I2 TRIPLeS +67 99
#note Looks like the right play for him, his other top options of I9 ReSPLIT and 9A SPLIT(T)eR both open up 3x3s for me.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAGNOOS H11 .OGON +21 113
#note That was a disastrous draw to a promising leave, but maybe (L)OGAN in this spot is a little better. #findingsmall
>Jay_Levin: AELT H1 TEAL +22 121
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADOSTV E3 OVA +20 133
#note Looks good despite how uninspiring this position is.
>Jay_Levin: GNRW 14F WR.NG +21 142
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAADSTX 5I .AX +24 157
#note Not exactly a fan of this position either, but the fact that I just drew another A makes my miss of LOGAN look that much bigger. Since the X isn't that good of a tile on this board, it's probably better to just take the 2 more points with 9F (T)AX instead of trying to force the board open, even though I like open boards better against him. #strategymedium
>Jay_Levin: AANZ 4K AZAN +35 177
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADEOST 6H O.DE +26 183
#note This does easily win the sim over O1 ADOS, ODAS, etc. But my next draw is where this game really started to get out of hand.
>Jay_Levin: CDEERU 15A REDUCE +35 212
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADEOST O1 ADOS +33 216
#note I played DEO and I drew DEO. Like what are the odds of that, especially with just 2 Os unseen to me before I played OLDE? I literally replayed the position with a different board. This time, ADOS or ODAS can be justified seeing it's 14 more than 14A ADO or ODA. But Jay's next 2 plays effectively make this position sort of moot.
>Jay_Levin: ?AEIKLT 1A TALKIEs. +98 310
#note This or A8 sTALKIE(R) are both good enough to put him in a commanding spot.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEIJNT 3G J.. +18 234
#note Again, right idea, but his next play officially put the game out of reach.
>Jay_Levin: EFHIORT A8 FROTHIE. +104 414
#note And that's him delivering the knockout blow.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEEINT C12 .IE. +16 250
#note C1 (L)INEATED
>Jay_Levin: CMPY M3 C.MPY +36 450
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADENTU B10 DA +16 266
#note I guess?
>Jay_Levin: IU 6M .IU +7 457
#note This was misscored as 6.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEENTUY N1 YE +21 287
#note Let's try again. I think the best spread cutter will be a Q bingo.
>Jay_Levin: EINSW O6 .NWISE +27 484
>Samuel_Kaplan: AENQRTU N9 QUARTE +51 338
#note I can take some consolation in finding the best spread-cutting move. N9 QUATRE also does the trick.
>Jay_Levin: BEG L7 BEG +14 498
#note All righty. While having the same rack that yields no 8s twice in a row was annoying, I did shoot myself in the foot on several occasions including missing the higher probability LINEATED. Several factors contributed to this one not going as well, and there was nothing I really could do about the 2 monster bingoes that Jay played after REDUCE. Final score was recorded as 499-338. Well done, props to you!
>Jay_Levin: (N) +2 500
