>Samuel_Kaplan: BDGITTU 8G BUG +12 12
#note Could also do BUTT just to shed another incompatible tile, but I don't have an S or an E to hook BUTT with. So I prefer this as a result.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: AKY 9E KAY +25 25
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEINTT 10D TIDE +30 42
#note No home for TAINTED unfortunately. I score respectably and still keep a good leave on this particular board setting up my A. This is best.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: DGIR 11C GIRD +33 58
>Samuel_Kaplan: AABINTX 12B TIX +43 85
#note I like TIX over NIX because keeping the N is a better leave for me to potentially reparallel BUG in case Jeff takes Row 13.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: EF 13B EF +26 84
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAABENO 7E ABA +16 101
#note As much as I really wanted the B off my rack, 7G ANA was considered. I didn't think it would be that much better in terms of equity, but it does force Jeff to potentially have to open for cheap if he can't use Row 14 efficiently. So 5 more points would have been worth it despite the worse leave. #strategymedium
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ELV E4 VEL. +14 98
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAEILNO 7I AEOLIAN +63 164
#note Well, my rack would have been AABEILO and I would have been much worse off this turn! Luckboxing at its finest.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: OW 8N WO +26 124
>Samuel_Kaplan: EHNOPQT 6M PHO +40 204
#note K6 Q(O)PH is not a word you see on a board too often, but this play is clearly better. I am fine with keeping the Q if I can score 22 more points than QOPH.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ?ACMPST K5 AP.MiCTS +102 226
#note Who would have predicted QOPH would have stopped this? That is a nice find and is his only 2x2.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EINOQTU 12H QUE.TION +106 310
#note One of those rare instances where I don't mind a 102 point 2x2 being played on me. I just punch right back.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: OZ N10 ZO. +32 258
>Samuel_Kaplan: AELMOSU H11 E.UAL +42 352
#note Easy enough.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ?EFNRST 14G F.STeNER +74 332
#note Or he can just bingo right back! Lol. He also had I2 FRoNT(AG)ES even without me doing EQUAL. So it wouldn't have mattered.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEEMOS 15K DEMES +38 390
#note I did not see 13E ODE(U)M, but I still thought this was worth it anyway. Looks fine.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: IJY 4C JI.Y +34 366
#note He initially laid down JIVILY* which I would have held for some time before calling it off.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EINOORR A13 ROO +15 405
#note C2 RE(J)OIN is clearly the play and was missed. #findinglarge
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: EIOW L2 OWIE +16 382
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEGINR 1F GRAINED +94 499
#note I also got lucky on this turn because I did not initially have a spot for any of the 4 bingoes in this rack. I would have settled on 13L ID until OWIE happened. He told me he was aware of the T hook that was unseen to him, but not the D hook.
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ACILRTU - +0 382
#note Seeing this was his final rack of 7 and I took away his spot for CURTAIL that he just drew, he couldn't win if he doesn't challenge. So he challenged. That's my 1st word wars win.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EHNNRSV 3H SHRE.N +32 531
#note I got away with a phony of my own after a valid play was challenged. I mixed up SHREWD and SHEWN. Way to rack up more spread baby!
>Jeffrey_Jacobson: ACILRTU 2B CULTI +23 405
#note 14A (O)CTAL scores 5 more for him and would have netted him 6 more spread points.
>Samuel_Kaplan: NV 9J V.N +5 536
#note Only out play. It started off nice and sound and then an early 4th of July fireworks show came about when we both erupted for big scores starting with PHO. 2-1 +139. Right back in it.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (AR) +4 540
