>Richard_Popper: DOOOOV 8D VOODOO +28 28
#note That's not a word you see too often! But it's useful here and it would have been insane to see VOODOOS come down.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABENTVY E5 BAY.NET +48 48
#note Easily best.
>Richard_Popper: EEILMUZ - +0 28
#note Not actual rack. Richard exchanged 4 tiles here.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAHIRSV F6 HA. +32 80
#note Getting to play HAVARTIS would have been nice and put me in a commanding position already. But since the T isn't 1 spot further to the right, I settled on this. Looks good.
>Richard_Popper: ?EELRTU H5 REs.LUTE +58 86
#note He is not going to score a lot with his bingoes, so I think this looks fine to play it safe and not open up dangerous lanes.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AIRRSSV 12A VAIRS +37 117
#note Easy enough.
>Richard_Popper: ELOU A11 O.ULE +24 110
>Samuel_Kaplan: EJRRSTU 10B JUT. +27 144
#note I debated between this and C9 JUR(I)ES. If I had a larger lead I would have taken the points and played defense with J6 JUSTER. All 3 of those plays are very reasonable.
>Richard_Popper: IMNU G10 MUNI +15 125
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEGPRRS 6B GER.. +13 157
#note Looks fine. Not much to score here.
>Richard_Popper: FIW C3 WIF. +20 145
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EIPRSY 4B Y.P +16 173
#note Fishing off the Y with WIFEY would have been better than my play, and also too many bingoes were missed namely StRIPEY and PYRItES, both of which are not hard to spot. #findinglarge
>Richard_Popper: EEO B4 .O.EE +14 159
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EIINRS J2 INlIERS +71 244
#note While I didn't see 15A (E)IRENIcS, I'm doing this again at this score- I don't see how a 7 will score much for Richard on this board and it still won't be easy for him to truly claw back in this one. I like the dreaded right angle this creates.
>Richard_Popper: AGO I11 AGO +12 171
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEFLMR A7 FAB +35 279
>Richard_Popper: AX B14 AX +31 202
>Samuel_Kaplan: EKLMQRT 2I Q. +11 290
#note I saw plenty of Row 15 extensions, but EXTREMAL* would not have been a valid one. I decided to cripple the board a little more if I wanted the Q off my rack asap. 2I MILKER is not a play I am making with a lead.
>Richard_Popper: IS 3H SI. +16 218
#note That's not good...
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEKLMRT K3 KAT +27 317
#note There is nothing through the U and I on Column C after looking for a while. This looks fine to outrun.
>Richard_Popper: OT D2 TO. +10 228
#note Richard has gotten all 8 Os this game!
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHLMRT E1 HET +14 331
#note Well, good thing I correctly decided EXOTHERM* was no good even with EXOTHERMIC and EXOTHERMAL both being good, because there's no more Os to help me. Not that I would try fishing for extensions from EX after it's clear that Richard is desperate.
>Richard_Popper: EW F1 EW +32 260
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEGILMR 1E ..LM +27 358
>Richard_Popper: C 4J ..C +8 268
>Samuel_Kaplan: CDEGIPR C9 P.D.C +26 384
#note Don't feel like doing 14I GRIPED after he keeps fishing.
>Richard_Popper: N I11 ...N +5 273
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGILNRZ 15E ZINGER +54 438
#note Probably just REZ this time if I really wanted to be safe, although this is 12 more points. It reduces the number of possible playable bingoes he could have, although Column M is strong in its own right.
>Richard_Popper: ADDEINS K9 DANDIES +85 358
#note Ah, dang it lol! Got another big win here and am in a great spot to finish 2nd. 10-5 +174.
>Richard_Popper: (AILR) +8 366
