>Froilan_Mendoza: DEIKM 8D MIKED +30 30
>Samuel_Kaplan: AILNRSU H8 .IURNALS +80 80
#note Looks good.
>Froilan_Mendoza: AGRTU E6 GU.TAR +14 44
#note I see that Froilan is in the mood for a concert right now!
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?CEEITW F10 WE +28 108
#note I did see 15B ChEWIE(S)T which is the only bingo there is, but that only scores 35 more than this. This is where it's correct to pass up the bingo and continue to outrun while I'm ahead. And CEIT? bingoes a lot on this board. Quackle approves. #strategysolid
>Froilan_Mendoza: ACHOR D11 ORACH +31 75
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?CEEEIT 6B ExE.ETIC +64 172
#note While I did purposely pass up 14F TE(L)ECInE as well as 12G E(N)CEInTE just because of massive counterplay potential, and this will make the top right of the board hard to access, 14G E(L)ECTIvE is too many more points which was missed. That would have been the play if I saw it. #findingmedium
>Froilan_Mendoza: DEINOOT 14H .OTIONED +72 147
#note His only valid bingo was 12H (N)OONTIDE for 70. Instead, I let him get away with this plausible phony. You can apply things like suntan lotion, right? #knowledgesad
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABHIOTV 14B VO.AB +36 208
#note Looks like the clear best play. I can be up much more than I am right now.
>Froilan_Mendoza: ELOP 15L POLE +47 194
#note That's one reason why not challenging LOTIONED* could have been costly. This was misscored as 44.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AHIIPST 13C H.P +30 238
#note 12G A(N)TISHIP. Come on man. I'm outdrawing him and haven't taken advantage too well.
>Froilan_Mendoza: FIW D3 WIF. +20 214
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADIINST B4 AD.NITIS +61 299
#note I did not know that EXEGETICS was good, so that's why I thought this was my only bingo. DISTAIN and ADENITIS (and DAINTIES) are not hard to spot, but again, this is a significant mistake.
>Froilan_Mendoza: IQ A8 QI +68 282
#note See what I mean? These are self-inflicted mistakes. How is he going to score this much without bingoing more than once if I challenge off LOTIONED* and know that EXEGETICS is good?
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEEJLT A1 JEED +47 346
#note Yea, before he hits me with the Z, let's go here.
>Froilan_Mendoza: AOZ C1 AZO +34 316
#note He is not backing down easily. Again, in D1, suboptimal plays won't end too well. I've made a few this game.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABLORTT 13K BLOT +30 376
#note It's close between this and 1C A(B)LATOR. At least he needs to play 5 tiles to reach another triple word, and doing something like (A)BORAL or (A)BATOR won't give up an easy line for him to play a 7 on a board that's basically dead for 7s, assuming he doesn't know that EXEGETICS is good.
>Froilan_Mendoza: GY 13G G.Y +22 338
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAELRTX G8 .X +34 410
#note I looked for a while from the A in AZO again, and nothing exists. This is fine.
>Froilan_Mendoza: RUY G3 YUR. +11 349
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAELNRT H1 LEAN +23 433
#note I also did not know 6B (ExEGETIC)AL! That's the move here for equity purposes. But outrunning more with this or ALAN are fine at this score.
>Froilan_Mendoza: ?AENNOS 11H .AiSONNE +64 413
#note Froilan most likely did not know (or did not see) that EXEGETICS is good either, which in that case J6 SONANcE or J1 mANNOSE both score 73.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ARRSTUV O6 STARV.R +33 466
#note Looks good.
>Froilan_Mendoza: EFGIM 10J MIG +26 439
#note This or MEG are best for him.
>Samuel_Kaplan: U D8 .U +6 472
#note Best out play. I was sweating this one much more than I needed to. Basic finding mistakes on my end after WE was played as well as allowing LOTIONED* to stay, but thankfully neither one of us took advantage of the EXEGETICS hook. Final score was recorded as 482-436. 3-0 +122.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (EF) +10 482
