#note No bingo here
>Hyendi_Gumilang: ACEF 10D CAFE +27 53
>Christian_Oktavius: EIRSSUX 11E XERUS +49 63
#note H10 SIXERS edging this play by about 2% more winning chance. 24 points is just too much to be sacrifice. This move just slightly better than XU 8A leaving powerful EIRSS
>Hyendi_Gumilang: EENP 12D PEEN +31 84
>Christian_Oktavius: ILNNSTT 13C TILT +30 93
#note 13C TILTS for 39 slightlt better
>Hyendi_Gumilang: ?AAIINO 8A AI +8 92
#note 9H DIANOIA
>Christian_Oktavius: ?ILNNOS 14A LIONS +29 122
#note The only bingo I saw here is 9H SOLANIN for puny 60 points. There are possible 9 letters here which clearly better.

After 2 minutes consideration, decided to pass the bingo, since Hyendi last play indicate he is very close to bingo . SOLANIN is not only score very little for bingo, it also take E back hook, allowing SOLANINE and bingo in triple which could easily allowing Hyendi immediately counter with 90++ points bingo and I have nothing other than praying I immediately got bingo after that.

Decided to play this move, hoping his bingo well immediately be countered with triple-triple
>Hyendi_Gumilang: ?ACDEIO 12I OCEAnID +74 166
#note BEST play for Hyendi here? Not a bingo even obviously he had so many of them. 15A ODEA scored 37 points, keeping IN and blank, thecsame principal for Hyendi, wait your opponent to bingo first. Anyone bingo first in this situation will most likely be countered with even higher bingo
>Christian_Oktavius: ?DEGNTW 9H TWaNGED +68 190
#note TWANGED and TWINGED is the only possible bingo. I considered using that open triple first at first glance, but then decided to bingo immediately (sometimes nine-timer thread is overestimated)

Quackle also find out that DWELT in 11A slightly better than this bingo!!! (should trust my instinct)
>Hyendi_Gumilang: AKW A12 WA.K +45 211
#note THIS!!! This is the reason why. Not to mention I maybe still considered lucky since he don't have J for something like JOLE
>Christian_Oktavius: AAOOTUY 10J YOU +31 221
#note BEST
>Hyendi_Gumilang: AGN 8M NAG +17 228
>Christian_Oktavius: AADEOOT O12 .ODO +18 239
>Hyendi_Gumilang: BDET N11 B.DET +27 255
>Christian_Oktavius: AABEGRT M12 .AB +22 261
#note If I had 20-40 points lead by bingoing 9 letters, or play something like DWELT first, at this situaion I probably make this board die, keeping him behind just enough to win the game. However since the score is neck to neck, I cannot sacrifice some points to make extremely defensive play. Plus his last play didn't ring any alarm that he is very close to bingo, like AI before
>Hyendi_Gumilang: ENOOPRS 7H SPOONER +74 329
>Hyendi_Gumilang: AEIJR (challenge) +5 334
>Christian_Oktavius: AEEGRTV K4 VEG. +16 277
#note Or maybe I picked Z immediately and make Z bomb play here, make a board open again. VEGO also best play, no other play better than this
>Hyendi_Gumilang: AEIJR 4H JAR.IE +48 382
>Hyendi_Gumilang: FZ (challenge) +5 387
#note JUst challenge it hoping it turn to be not valid
>Christian_Oktavius: AEIORTU H1 OUI.A +36 313
#note H1 RIOJA still better since there are only 4 unseen vowels. However I am too lazy to check the unseen tile and thinking too much about the possible outcome, just hoping for a miracle comeback
>Hyendi_Gumilang: FZ 3G F.Z +50 437
>Christian_Oktavius: EHHLNRT 3L HERN +23 336
#note Another blunder here (but I think not affect the outcome, I already lost here). Saw THEN first but then realize it open N in triple, try to fid another 4 letters word, say HETH but not 100% sure, then under time pressure play HERN, NOT REALIZING that it ended with N too, providing him high spot to dump his Q
