>Samuel_Kaplan: EEGHLNY 8D HENGE +26 26
#note Game 2 of 6. I did not know HENLEY, which isn't much better in the initial valuation, but I liked the synergy of LY better as a leave than HN with 8H ELEGY despite the H being a better tile itself than the Y. ELEGY doesn't give back hooks though, so maybe ELEGY is a little better against a random rack.
>Beth_Mix: AENNOOS 9D ONO +12 12
#note This or 9E NOO are reasonable.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEJLOUY 10B JOY +38 64
#note Easily best.
>Beth_Mix: AAENNRS 7C NA +13 25
#note B10 JNANA is 11 more, but it also gives back so much more. I like this better.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADELSUV H2 DEVALU.S +66 130
#note I did miss I4 AVULSED, but this is safer anyway when I'm gonna be up more than a standard bingo.
>Beth_Mix: AELNRSY G1 LAY +22 47
#note 1st time either one of us missed an opportunity to bingo- she had ANALYSER on row 5 for 72. This appears to be the best nonbingo, but even if she saw ANALYSER, she wouldn't have stopped me from bingoing.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEKOSU 6H .EUKOmAS +65 195
#note This is the only bingo I would have on this turn and I'm glad to have seen this one. If she did ANALYSER, I would have done 2A UnSOAKE(D) for many more.
>Beth_Mix: BCENORS L4 BR.NCOES +80 127
>Beth_Mix: BCENORS -- -80 47
#note She could have gotten within a little more striking distance with J4 BO(U)NCERS. But this is one of those words ending with -OS that is not good spelled -OES.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ALNRRWX 7J NAW +19 214
#note I did see F2 WARN, which would have been fine if she didn't phony. But BOUNCERS was the only bingo I saw for her. Although I couldn't stop her from making parallels on Row 5, I think 7H ULN(A)R would have been a much better version of this while still accomplishing what I was looking to do- block the U. #visionlarge
>Beth_Mix: BCENORS 5J ROB +35 82
#note I did not see that NAW gave her 5G C(A)RBON for 47 though! So NAW is really looking like not a good move on my end.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ELQRRRX O6 .EX +30 244
#note She still has CERS on her rack, so I was playing defensively knowing I will likely be exchanging next turn anyway.
>Beth_Mix: ACENOPS F2 CAP +31 113
#note Looks fine along with CAPO or PA in this spot.
>Samuel_Kaplan: LQRRRTT -LQRRTT +0 244
#note Not a single I has been played yet! Keeping R or RT are fine here, I threw back the other T with 4 Ts left.
>Beth_Mix: EMNNOSU 10F MU +21 134
#note She's groomed her rack for the last couple turns now and I can't address the new opening she made. Nice play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BIPRTVW N5 V.W +14 258
#note Well, more like I could have addressed Row 11 with 11G TWIRP, but it's only gonna give back something else and keep an atrocious leave.
>Beth_Mix: EINNOST 11G TENSION +66 200
#note I got very lucky that she didn't see that this same word plays 2 spots to the left for 20 more. Monumental break.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BILLPRT 10K BLIP +22 280
#note She's coming back strong now and this is not good. I unfortunately missed 3C BIL(AYE)R which would have taken out easy Column B bingoes. #visionsad
>Beth_Mix: ACDGGHS 12E CHAD +20 220
#note 5C GACH is the clear best play here for 31.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DLORRTT 11A TOR +14 294
#note The same word plays at 9M for 9 more. Not only am I drawing poorly, my play is slipping too.
>Beth_Mix: DEEGGIS B10 ..GGED +32 252
#note While I wouldn't have stopped Beth from playing in this spot, I have been paying for my mistakes. Another nice play from her.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DILOQRT 6B QI +33 327
>Beth_Mix: AEIIRRS 14A R.I +3 255
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?DLORTT 5E LOT. +16 343
#note Once again 9M plays are easily better. I have just not been good the 2nd half of this game.
>Beth_Mix: EIMRSU 9C M... +17 272
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?DRRTTT -DRTT +0 343
#note Ugh...
>Beth_Mix: AEIRSU A13 A.E +21 293
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?FIIRTZ M9 Z.. +22 365
>Beth_Mix: AEEIRSU 12L RE +23 316
#note Nice play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?FIIRTT 12L ..IF +11 376
#note D3 RIF is 9 more, but I can at least prevent some plays with the ZINES hook.
>Beth_Mix: AEFIRSU 13I FIRES +56 372
#note Yep. This is what I was afraid of.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EIIRTT O12 .RIT +21 397
#note I didn't see O10 sI(F)TER just because I realized this wins on the spot. I would have looked harder if I had more time on my clock.
>Beth_Mix: ADEITU 9H .AU +4 376
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EIT 14G dIET +14 411
#note Not hard to see, but best out play. Props to her on a great comeback. Valiant effort. I was definitely under pressure the 2nd half. It's part me, part my inability to avoid the Rs and Ts.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (DEIT) +10 421
