#note Game 5 of 6. Nothing inspiring about this one, looks fine.
>Beth_Mix: BEOPTUZ F8 .UZ +34 34
#note Looks like the clear best play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ELORSTY -Y +0 12
#note It does give me a good bingo %, but the exchange was not worth it. 10F ZLOTY was missed and is certainly worth it because it gives me a juicy S hook that's not easy for Beth to block. The duck's blood pressure has increased. #findinglarge
>Beth_Mix: BDEIOPT 10D BI. +14 48
#note I like 7G OBI for better defense after I just threw back 1 tile.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AELORST D5 SORTA.LE +72 84
>Beth_Mix: DEMOPST J8 STOMPED +75 123
#note H8 IMPOSTED would have been really nice!
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHITWY K11 YEH +41 125
#note This turn was rushed and it should have been YEW in the same spot. I even set up my my H! #visionlarge
>Beth_Mix: CDIKNSV 12J ..CK +24 147
#note This time I agree with this play. E4 VID is not worth it when she doesn't have an A.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHITUW C3 WHITE +31 156
#note E2 WITHE. Yea, this is just not a very well played game so far.
>Beth_Mix: ADILNSV H8 .NVALIDS +89 236
#note Nice find Beth!
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEEEGU - +0 156
#note I did see AGUEwEE(D). However, I thought INVALIDS was phony because I never thought it was a noun. An INVALID is apparently a disabled person. My brain registered it as something that is "not valid".
>Beth_Mix: AEINOPR M9 PIN.ER +30 266
#note If you can find the only bingo that plays on this board, I give you major props.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEEEGU 14A AGUEwEE. +72 228
#note I'm lucky this wasn't blocked. I would have really been in a huge hole if this was.
>Beth_Mix: ABIMOOU 15A AIM +28 294
>Samuel_Kaplan: AGGLNTY G11 YAG. +22 250
#note Best play.
>Beth_Mix: BJNOOUX 8A BUN. +30 324
#note Nice play again.
>Samuel_Kaplan: GILNRST C13 G.. +12 262
#note Normally GUM in this spot might be better, but I wasn't really seeing where gerund bingoes would play on this board. But let's face it, I'm not expecting her to give me any easy spot to bingo.
>Beth_Mix: DJOOOQX B2 JO +23 347
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ILNRST 10M .T +4 266
#note Too aggressive even with the last S in hand because it's too easy for Beth to block. 4A NTH would have been fine. #tacticssad
>Beth_Mix: DNOOQWX 11M .OW +8 355
#note It was a major sacrifice, but it was too easy to block.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AILNRS 6C ..RSIoNAL +62 328
#note I did not know this had an anagram of TONSORIAL, and this did get held but not challenged. I am glad to have spotted this one. However, O11 WARNS actually gives me a greater win % than bingoing does despite this giving me access to the top right of the board which I actually need at this score!
>Beth_Mix: ADENOQX O11 .AXED +51 406
#note But Beth smartly accepted my play even if it might have been phony (assuming she wasn't entirely sure) because I only had a small net gain from this sequence.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEFFILV A3 VIFF +23 351
#note Still a fighting chance after all..
>Beth_Mix: ANOOQRU G3 QUA. +23 429
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEEILT H1 EDIT +32 383
#note I correctly determined there was no way I could win this game. Zero percent chance according to Championship Player. I am not going to get anywhere by fishing off DE and drawing into ELATION/TOENAIL because there's only 1 spot for ELATION to play, which will get blocked. There's several other bingoes I could fish for, but they're just not going to play because Row 5 will never stay open. 3G (Q)I won't cut it either because all Beth has to do is make a short play down Column K (namely K5 ENRO(L) or K5 NERO(L)) and then even if I draw into LATENED, ALTERED, or ALERTED, they won't play. So this had to be the play, and it certainly would have been the play in a tournament if it meant cutting spread.
>Beth_Mix: ENOOORR L7 ROO +8 437
>Samuel_Kaplan: AELNO M3 ALONE +15 398
#note Or ANOLE in the same spot. Beth was definitely the better player in this one and she deserved to win. Well played!
>Samuel_Kaplan: (ENOR) +8 406
