>Mark_Miller: ERV 8G REV +12 12
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?FIKLSX J8 SIX +33 33
#note Looks fine. XIS makes no sense without an A in hand.
>Mark_Miller: CIT K9 TIC +21 33
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EFKLLO G2 FOLKLo.E +66 99
#note While I am glad to have found this bingo, I did not see a word that could be a good theme word for folklore: 12E ELFLOcK. #findingmedium
>Mark_Miller: DEM H1 MED +26 59
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDEGHIT 6F B.IGHT +26 125
#note 6F B(L)IGHTED. Saw it but chickened out of it. Also, BEDIGHT and BIGHTED are the 7s. Several bad misses.
>Mark_Miller: ENO 5K EON +10 69
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEJORYZ 4L JOY +46 171
#note I did not know the BLIGHTY hook in this position for plays like L4 J(O)Y. JOEY is a better version of this.
>Mark_Miller: CNO 3M CON +25 94
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEEGRZ O1 ZE. +36 207
#note This time, I did see 2G (FE)EZE but that offered way too much counterplay to Mark. This way I score only 1 less while reducing Mark's average score next turn by about 3 points.
>Mark_Miller: EIORU F9 OURIE +9 103
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEGINR I2 ED +18 225
#note This rack is too good to not feel like I missed something. I'm glad I didn't. This is clearly best.
>Mark_Miller: EFH E7 FEH +15 118
#note Interesting. There is also 2N FE for 28.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGINPRR 8A GRIP. +33 258
#note I did not know 13C PER(E)GRIN. This is the best non-bingo play available. #knowledgelarge
>Mark_Miller: ESV 12K SEV +18 136
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAEINRS A6 AR.INASE +60 318
#note All 3 anagrams give me the same win %, so it's really just a matter of finding 1 of the 3. I think this and ANGARIES play better defense on the bottom of the board than ANERGIAS does.
>Mark_Miller: ?GNOQUU - +0 136
#note Not acutual rack. Mark exchanged 4 tiles here.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BIINORT B1 BIOTIN +24 342
#note I like how well this goes through the tile bag while I'm ahead by a lot, but 2K BOIT(E) was missed and should have been the play. I should be making plays with less turnover with all those As left. #visionmedium
>Mark_Miller: EOY 1A O.EY +39 175
>Samuel_Kaplan: ALQRRTW C7 Q. +21 363
>Mark_Miller: DGL 3A G.LD +12 187
#note So now I'm expecting more As if he's got consonant issues!
>Samuel_Kaplan: AALRRTW 13C WAT.R +18 381
#note Or WAL(E)R in this spot. There's only 1 E left so I can effectively block 1 lane.
>Mark_Miller: NTW D12 W.NT +16 203
>Samuel_Kaplan: AALMORU 15A MAU. +18 399
#note 15D TUMORAL is the play both in terms of this pool and the actual score. #findinglarge
>Mark_Miller: ?AEISTU N6 AUnTIES +67 270
#note AUgITES in this spot also scores 67.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAALOPR 5D ARA. +20 419
#note A floating B for PARABOLA would have been nice! But we don't always get what we want.
>Mark_Miller: ADNU J1 AD +19 289
>Samuel_Kaplan: ALOP O7 PO +19 438
#note Drop the A for 5 more points.
>Mark_Miller: NU B10 UN +10 299
#note FOLKLORE was one of my better finds this tournament. But not being sure of BLIGHTED could have cost me this one. I think Mark struggled with some bad racks this time around. With that said, I was due for a win against him. 4-1 +318.
>Mark_Miller: (AL) +4 303
