>Chris_Tallman: ??INNOX 8H INbOX +38 38
#note Whangarei Round 7
>Anderina_McLean: EFIR L4 REFI. +30 30
>Chris_Tallman: ?FGNQRS 5K F.G +14 52
#note Considered QIN, but FEG really shuts down scoring for Anderina next turn. I guess the Q shuts down my immediate bingo chances, but I don't mind a slower paced opening. The sim prefers QIN but not by much.
>Anderina_McLean: AEEINTV 9C NAIVETE +68 98
>Chris_Tallman: ?HNPQRS K7 Q.PHS +49 101
#note Didn't see this right away, luckily I didn't just put down QINS right away. I don't think I'm crazy enough to play just QOPH, maybe against Nigel I would for the variance?
>Anderina_McLean: CKOY E7 YO.CK +28 126
#note Though COKY beside QOPHS scores a bit more, this is very good defensively, I like the choice (of course I don't know her other tiles).
>Chris_Tallman: ?EGINRU 12B REUsING +82 183
>Anderina_McLean: HOO 8A HOO +20 146
>Chris_Tallman: AADENOT 7A ATON. +20 203
#note Happy to find this play, blocks both 7's lanes from the Y in YOICK and sheds the duplicate A's.
>Anderina_McLean: EPRZ A12 PREZ +67 213
>Anderina_McLean: EPRZ -- -67 146
#note Was 90% PREUSING wasn't good, happy to see it come up red.
>Chris_Tallman: ADDEMNO L10 MODED +27 230
#note Spent a while here, considered MOANED but that gives back PRIZED if Anderina had an I with PREZ - I was trying to force her to play PREFIX/PREZ so that I could hit back through the Z on gthe triple line next turn. I failed at this though, didn't consider SOZ stacking plays, and also, MODED is apparently phony (!)
>Anderina_McLean: DEPRZ M11 ZED +47 193
>Chris_Tallman: AN M5 .AN +23 253
#note No rack for this turn, sorry!
>Anderina_McLean: PRSU 3J URPS +30 223
>Chris_Tallman: AABCEET I2 ABATE +22 275
#note Didn't see BARCA through the R of REUSING for 30, but I'd still play ABATE for bingo defense as it puts me up about 50. The potential to open unblockable hooks on the right side is concerning for a hard defense strategy here though.
>Anderina_McLean: BDI H4 BID +21 244
>Chris_Tallman: ACEILOW 14J CO.A +27 302
#note Decided to block big ZEDA plays, considered AGLOW through the G of REUSING too. I wanted to block the J spot through the R of REUSING, but couldn't figure out how to do it without creating big threats on the 15 line.
>Anderina_McLean: EJLU B10 JU.EL +56 300
>Chris_Tallman: EEGILVW A13 WEE +25 327
#note Hated using my E's but felt I needed to take this spot.
>Anderina_McLean: ATW G3 WAT +18 318
#note Now I have to choose between taking the scoring spot beside JUREL and blocking this dangerous hook - nice play.
>Chris_Tallman: GV 2H V.G +18 345
#note Time pressure so didn't record many endgame racks. Decided to block the bingo spot, but not comfortable with ZEDAS and the JUREL spot still open for 30-40 point plays.
>Anderina_McLean: ILR H12 .IRL +15 333
#note Dodged a bullet here.
>Chris_Tallman: AIILTUY 13A ..T +16 361
#note I have the YABA hook but TAY and LAY take too many hooks. I decide to take out a scoring spot despite the poor leave.
>Anderina_McLean: IRS 15M SIR +24 357
#note She took the other one, but not too much damage, I'll take it.
>Chris_Tallman: AIILMUY F2 MAY +28 389
#note Really lucky M draw lets me make the winning play.
>Anderina_McLean: AELNOST N7 SLAT +19 376
>Chris_Tallman: EIILRU O8 IRE +19 408
>Anderina_McLean: ENO E1 EON +13 389
