>Beth_Mix: LNORRVZ 8G LORN +8 8
#note Game 6 of 6 at Beth's house. I've been a bit busy lately but I am finally posting this one. RVZ is just too clunky of a leave to justify scoring 8 points. I'd exchange down to ORZ or Z here, this way she has guaranteed scoring potential.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFIIORT J6 TO.IFIER +71 71
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFIIORT -- -71 0
#note Pretty significant mistake by getting too greedy. Just take the guaranteed bingo with NOTIFIER. Why can't TONIFIER* be good if TONIFIES and TONIFIED are good along with NOTIFIER, NOTIFIES, and NOTIFIED? Good challenge Beth. #knowledgesad #dictionaryflawslarge
>Beth_Mix: AAEORVZ J6 ZO.A +33 41
#note Looks good for scoring and she rightfully denies me NOTIFIER as expected. Now I'm stuck with my awful rack.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFIIORT 10H FIE +24 24
#note I did see 10F FORTE for 10 more, but II is more than 10 points worse than IORT in the leave. So this play can be justified.
>Beth_Mix: AADEERV K3 DEVA +27 68
>Samuel_Kaplan: IIOORTY L1 RYOT +23 47
#note I hated how much G6 OILY (despite setting up my own Y) and 3J IDIOT gave back to Beth here. IDIOT felt too aggressive at this score (I'm down less than a bingo and there's still 4 Ss left). Yes, L1 RIOT keeps a more balanced leave but is the Y really giving me much scoring potential on this board?
>Beth_Mix: ABEGMRW 1G WARME. +33 101
#note I did not know the top option of H10 FERBAM and probably would have missed that myself.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EHIIOOT M3 THIO +28 75
#note H10 FOOTIE keeps much better and retains scoring potential. Big mistake. #findinglarge
>Beth_Mix: AABGINV 11E VIGA +21 122
>Samuel_Kaplan: EIOSSTW N5 TWO +29 104
#note To make it easier to set up my own S for the top right corner as well as make it much harder for Beth to make 60+ point plays starting at O4, I chose this over N6 WO.
>Beth_Mix: ABCFINU O7 FINCA +35 157
#note H10 (FA)NFIC is also not a word I knew. FUB is also better for equity and a friendlier bingo leave.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEIRSS 2B RESIDES +81 185
#note Mhm. And maybe she will miss the PRESIDES hook.
>Beth_Mix: ?ABELOU D2 .OlUABLE +70 227
>Beth_Mix: ?ABELOU -- -70 157
#note Her best option was 12H rUBEOLA, which is the only 7 in this rack. I am lucky to get back the turn I lost when I tried TONIFIER*, and it's worth noting only SOLUBLE is good.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABCEGIN 12H BEGIN +33 218
#note And we both continue to miss plays extending FA on Column H. It's worth it to score the extra points despite opening up more lanes (which is usually unideal knowing she has a blank) because I'm not closing this board down anytime soon.
>Beth_Mix: ?ABELOU 1A LOBE +30 187
#note D2 (S)ABULOsE this time. If not that, 1A BEAU for only 2 less is better.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACPSTTU 11K PUT +20 238
#note I did see and consider M8 UPCAST for 15 more which sims a little further back of PUT than I thought it would. But ACST is a strong enough leave that would get me potential counterbingoes next turn knowing she still has a blank. It's worth noting I did not know M9 CATSUP (apparently it's another spelling of ketchup), but that would have been too reckless. So PUT is fine.
>Beth_Mix: ?AEOQUU F10 Q. +31 218
#note Considering I did not draw a bingo, 13B AQUEOUs would have put me in a tough spot. It's not the easiest bingo for some to find though.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AACGLST 3A LAG +23 261
#note Definitely not doing 3B AG while she has the blank, but I did not get the floating O I needed for CATALOGS.
>Beth_Mix: ?AENOUU G7 U.U +5 223
#note Nice play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACHSTTY 13C YACHTS +39 300
#note This normally plays good bingo defense, but after I once again can't shut everything down, O1 CHAYS for 15 more is worth it this time because I can't even draw any more Ts. #findingmedium
>Beth_Mix: ?AEINOR 12C ON +13 236
#note A3 (L)ONIcERA is the only bingo that plays.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?DLNPTU B10 PUD +16 316
>Beth_Mix: ?ADEEIR 6A READIEs +64 300
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ELNRTX 5C NEXT +47 363
>Beth_Mix: EEIKMNS O1 MINKS +51 351
#note Looks good even though she can't win.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AIJLOR A6 .AJ +30 393
#note This and J12 GOJI would both net me the same spread as she goes out with JEE. Not that spread mattered here.
>Beth_Mix: EE 8A .EE +10 361
#note Thank you very much for having me over at your house on the night of Nov 17. It was a lot of fun being there and I ended up making match play at the New England Bowlers Association tournament of non-champions at East Providence Lanes.
