>Samuel_Kaplan: AMNNOWY 8D WOMAN +28 28
#note There is an alternate spelling that I knew but missed. WOMYN is 34 and sheds the Y. #findingmedium
>Mark_Miller: EHLOV 9G HOVEL +30 30
>Samuel_Kaplan: JLNNOUY 7E JOY +43 71
#note Despite keeping a rather clunky leave, 12 more points than 7E JUN is worth it. K7 JO(L)LY gives him OX- plays for no good reason.
>Mark_Miller: AEIITWZ - +0 30
#note Not actual rack. Mark exchanged 7 tiles here.
>Samuel_Kaplan: CLNNTUV J4 NUNCL. +10 81
#note I liked the idea of turning over more tiles to clean up my rack after his exchange 7, and I wasn't scared of putting a U in the 2x2 lane, but I will say that J6 LUC(E)NT is a better version of this- NV is less clunky than TV is and I score 2 more, plus LUCENT doesn't take an S hook. #findingsmall
>Mark_Miller: EHIWY 4G WHI.EY +38 68
>Samuel_Kaplan: AGISTVX 5I T.X +40 121
#note I guess it's a good thing I didn't have an N- I would have been turned off by LAXING* not being good. This looks fine.
>Mark_Miller: ADEILPR 3C LIPREAD +93 161
#note Are you serious. I briefly held this but remembered that PREDIAL had an anagram. So I was correct in accepting this. Nice play Mark! This was misscored as 91.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGISUV 3K VAU +30 151
#note Wasn't desperate to open up more dangerous lines with VAGUE at either 3K or 2B. I'm not down that much, so I went the more sound route while still setting up my S.
>Mark_Miller: FNO D3 .NFO +14 175
#note I could only deduce he had another N, otherwise he would have played 4C OF for more.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGIIISU -GIIIU +0 151
#note However, IIU was a godawful draw that pretty much sunk me on the spot.
>Mark_Miller: ?AEENRT L7 EAsTERN +75 250
#note And...yea. That was not what I needed to see after I already had no choice but to exchange.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEILOST N2 ISOLATE +75 226
#note This and 13F ELATIO(N)S both give back so much that I need the points and the EASTERNS hook to stay open. Good thing there's still 3 Ss to draw.
>Mark_Miller: DIMST O6 MIDST +39 289
#note I can say he's got another S because he would have just done MID without another one.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACEORRT 5D .OR +12 238
#note Looks good. I didn't miss anything into the E or R, although RETROCAR* looks somewhat plausible. But I think Mark has good enough word knowledge that he would call that off.
>Mark_Miller: EGGR E7 ..GGER +30 319
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACEIRTU 12A CUTE. +20 258
#note I cannot avoid drawing those stupid Is and Us!!!! Maybe CURA(R)I to keep a little better if I'm going to be desperate at this point and not see 8A AIR(WOMAN) on this turn. I would see it next turn though.
>Mark_Miller: FRU A12 .URF +27 346
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAINORS 8A AIR..... +39 297
#note 8A AIRWOMAN is not OK in this position though because 14A ROSARIAN plays for 70, although I would have been behind a tempo. Still, #visionbad
>Mark_Miller: ADQ B6 QA.D +34 380
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADENOST 14F DONATES +71 368
#note And I went on to fall victim to a word set that makes no sense whatsoever- NORTHERNS, SOUTHERNS, and WESTERNS are all good but EASTERNS* is not. I will say this was a decent spread cutter, but I'm lucky this wasn't even held.
>Mark_Miller: IKP H12 PI.K +39 419
#note Looks good in order to shut everything down and empty the bag.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ABEGII C8 .EBA.InG +26 394
#note As frustrating as this game was, I didn't see BIZE at 13F unfortunately. If I had to do it over again, I play 13F G(I)BE threatening to go out with N10 InIA and C10 lI(T)AI, forcing him to play 11I BIZ(E)S. #endgamebad
>Mark_Miller: BEEIOSZ 13G B.ZE +58 477
>Samuel_Kaplan: I 15A .I. +7 401
#note Best out play. I don't think I played that badly until I missed ROSARIAN and didn't play the endgame well. Good game Mark! I just have to learn how to get off to a lead later in the game against him, that's all. :)
